rubbish!
It is such a shame that this does not do what it says on the tin! It sounded so promising so I took a gamble with it. Have only had it one day and got it to record once and I am going to send it right back and get a more expensive one which will WORK! Everytime I try to get it to record it flashes an error message and the firmware update that others have mentioned in their reviews are now no available. Piece of pants! Wish I had listened to the negative reviews instead of paying attention to the positive ones which sound to me like people are giving credit where it is definitely not due!

absolute pants
We bought this 2 years ago and at first it seemed fine, then it started corrupting discs that were recorded on other DVD recorders. Recently it stopped reading even the discs it had previously recorded so we just used it as a player of prerecorded DVDs. But it finally packed up yesterday with a precious DVD in it which it refused to eject.
My husband had to dismantle it to retrieve the disc and we were shocked at what we saw inside. One of the circuit boards had snapped off and was just loose in the box and some of the resistors were all bent and twisted on the other boards. My husband works in IT and had never seen anything like it. If we had seen the inside two years ago it would have gone straight back. NOT RECOMMENDED!!!

Excellent DVD Recorder and Value for Money
I purchased this from Amazon nearly 6 months ago and have not had any problems with it at all. It was a little hard to understand how to get it to record off the TV at first but soon it was a doddle. I can not understand why other's have reviewed this with one star as I can play any RW discs and have never had a problem with the minus ones. All I can think of is that they must be putting the disc in the wrong way round. If this is the case then they should understand that discs are not batteries! Anyway the unit is a very good buy for anyone on a tight budget that is looking to upgrade from a video recorder etc. It not only looks smart it is a really good recorder. I have never tried to record on -RW but it definately plays -RW. I always give products 6 months before I review them and in my eyes this deserves 5 stars.

This is just Rubbish
I have given this one star, only because there was no zero stars.

Fails to record, wont update firmware.

Buy something better for your sanity
