NICE MACHINE SHAME ABOUT THE INSTRUCTION BOOKLET
Having read all the reviews and seeing that this seemed to be a handy piece of kit I plunged in to purchase this DVD recorder. Having bought other Sony products I am usually very satisfied and their ease of use and set-up have been a plus factor for someone like me who is not as genned up as some of the other tech bods who do their reviews on here.
Well, when I tried to decipher the many tentacled illustrations regarding set-up with analogue/digital/freeview/ it left me scratching my head. I bravely attempted to sort it out but alas I was geting some signals on digital but none for freeview and so it went on in different variations. In the end I had to get someone in to help me with it and even they had difficulty deciphering the illustrations and instructions.
Now that it is set up it's a lovely machine and does all sorts recording/playing/pausing etc as described. But what a kerfuffle to start with. Please make an easier- to- understand booklet Sony because it will be a major consideration when I make another electrical purchase
Wonderful Sony!
I've bought a few peices of kit recently, and like most people I do the homework and then still wonder if I'll end-up buying a lemon! Well I'm glad (and relieved!) to report that this machine is as smooth as silk and a wonderful purchase. If you do buy this you won't need anything else to read for a while because the instruction manual will need plenty of deciphering...but once up and running this machine is just fabulous! The onboard EPG is easy and reliable and all the pros of HDD are there for the taking....pause live TV, catch-up TV, watch an HDD recording while it records something else, watch DVD while the HDD records another prog...and all the time done without the slightest fuss. Most importantly, picture quality is incredible...and I only play it through a
Pana CRT! To conclude...well done Sony; 5-stars thoroughly deserved, an extremely high-quality piece of tech that is a pleasure to own and use! Excellent value through Amazon too!
Easy to use
We bought this dvd a few weeks ago and I think it's great; it was easy to set up, use and you can watch a program at the same time you are recording. It is good value for money as it has a large memory.
