Full review

I bought this DVD recorder after returning my old one to the shop because it didn't work properly. I thought, well hoped that this one would be better. I was wrong.

Every time i put a disc in it the DVD recorder would freeze and not do anything for 10 minutes. When I tried to play CDs on it a message came up saying that there was an error and guess what... it would freeze again.

When it came to recording on it, the shop i bought it from were advertising it saying that it records on both dvd-r and dvd+r, but it doesn't, it just records on dvd-r. So this was no good when it came to trying to record a film that night, as I only had dvd+r. So I had to record it old school on a VCR. When I got some discs that would work and recorded something on it, Yet another disappointment. The picture quality was really bad. The picture was blurry and the the audio was out of sync.

The only good thing I found about this DVD recorder is that it looks quite stylish, but thats not what you buy it for.

So I took it back to the shop three days after buying it.
