SIMPLY TO USE. FEW POINTS FOR PEOPLE TO KNOW.
Firstly, this machine does not have a HARD DRIVE at all. Anyone who says it has has a different model number to this one. Regarding the only 2 hours recording thim this DVD has the facility to record EP which is 6hours play on DVD or 10hours on DLayer disc. Refer to pg 42 of manual and pg 23 for all settings. To operate these on the on creen display press the rec mode on the remote near 3 red record buttons on remote. It will show on screen when you repeatedly press rec mode on remote.
A cute feature on this is when you are selecting programmes to record on the TV menu the machine will tell you if there is not enough room on disk to copy programmes it on. So then you just select the rec mode and in it corrected.

As for the EPG update at 3-4 pm i found that if you put machine in total shut off mode i.e.(no time displayed at all) then the noise is not as bad.
The first programme i recorded i had to power the machine up to see if it had stated to copy or not as nothing lit up on the display, my other Sony actually started up but this one does not. Great for the planet eh.
Much more user friendly than my old Sony and I love the fact that you can start to watch something after you have started to record it.

Say the phone goes so you start to record Corra, you can then start to watch it when phone call ends. You select title list and it will show you what you are recording then select enter and then select play from beginning, you watch start of show and the DVD finishes recording the end of Corra. Very clever indeed.

Great machine, would recommend it to anyone. You'll love it. So simple to use.

Wrighty

Disappointed!
I bought one of these a few weeks ago... worked fine during the first week. During week two, the freeview picture froze up occasionally, and didn't recover, the unit switched itself off instead! It started doing this several times, and then the final straw... it switched off whilst playing back a prerecorded dvd! It is now back with the suppliers, and I spent an extra 100 pound to get the Panasonic EMREX77EB instead, and am delighted with it! It has a 160gb hard drive, and my wife recorded her first programme onto the hard drive without asking me for help, and she got it right! I trust Panasonic more than Sony for this type of product, as my other DVD recorder is also Panasonic, and I've had it for 2 years now.

This is a DVD recorder! - there is no HDD
I wish people reviewing this item would check that they are referring to the stated product. I want to purchase one of these but 2 reviews are talking about the hard drive which this machine does not have.

Don't put it in the bedroom
DVD and Freeview PQ is very good, however.......

the fan is intrusively noisy and operates all the time whether recording or not. It also continues for over 5 minutes after the unit is switched off.

Also, the player switches on in the middle of the night (3 - 4 am) to update the EPG, with the accompanying fan noise. This function cannot be switched off (unless you switch off the unit at the wall before going to sleep each evening).

If you value your beauty sleep, don't buy this. It will wake you in the night.
