A brilliant all round machine.

However, I have burnt a DVD+R dual layer using the PC and this did not play. It plays fine in my Pioneer DV-444K player (not a recorder).

Equpment used:

DVD writer: Sony DRU-810A
DVD+R DL disc: Ridata (x2.4)

Excellent product! My only complaint, and I mean the only one, is that using arrow keys to input a title by choosing each letter one by one is tiring, could I hook up a keyboard to the player? I love this machine!

Great unit - very easy to use!

Picture quality is fantastic. Finding files on HDD is so easy - I could never go back to using VCR again.

I got mine from JB hifi in Melbourne for $670 (Brand new) so don't pay a cent more for this unit - I've seen it for as much as $799 RRP.

First recorder i own. Very comfortable to use. You can hear the fan a bit but it doesnt bug me at all. The communication between RC and main unit is a bit slow, it tkaes about half a second to transfer commands so you cannot rapidly input commands. That barely annoys me.
Doesnt take DVD+, i guess i was misinformed before i did the purchase.

Hard Drive Great Idea, copied some home VHS tapes to the HD, did some edits and copied to DVD-R disks, worked as advertised. My home movies are now on DVD. Copy TV shows to the HD, watch them when I want, they look very good. The days of VHS tape is officially over!

Easy to use, quick, simple and silent.
DV IN/OUT for DV-cameras is quite usefull when you only want to backup/restore films.
