Ok the two reasons I purchased this model are :
1) It was cheap (and I needed one fast)
2) It's design (I didn't want it getting in the way)

Sound - Dolby Digital system so providing you have it set up right, the sound is not only crystal clear, but you can become immersed into it. 5/5
Features - Plays a host of different formats (DVD-R/RW, CD, JPEG/MP3 CDs, VCD) and records to DVD-R/RW. Really lacking some decent features, it simply plays/records. No capability for dual-layer disks, DVI or DivX. With this recorder, you really are paying very ... more

Features - Plays a host of different formats (DVD-R/RW, CD, JPEG/MP3 CDs, VCD) and records to DVD-R/RW. Really lacking some decent features, it simply plays/records. No capability for dual-layer disks, DVI or DivX. With this recorder, you really are paying very little so features are going to be a little lacking.
Design - It's slimline so you can pretty much put it anywhere, and the front panel is attractive. Though it seemed to be a little wobbly, possible not 100% flat.

Plus it has so many features it is unbelievable, This is a Multi-drive DVD-RAM / DVD-RW / DVD-R recorder, which you can also use CRR, CD-RW and CDs.
So along with being a dvd player it is also a cd player and you'l never guess ... ...your sound system and play everything through the player. What more could you ask.
The video quality is good and easy to set up pre recorded and instant record settings. Another feature is that the player has timeslip recording and also editing features, which means no more anoying adverts through our important films or TV programmes. It is also mpeg compatible. along with a progressive scan option which means that: the player scans individual picture ...
