    instruction book5
    The m\c is very good however the instruction book may as well be written in arabic its that bad to follow

    Excellent recorder5
    1. Good unit, easy to set up.
    2. The remote puts all the necessary functions within easy reach: EPG, timer, slide show.
    3. Good manual: clearly organised, well written, useful index.
    4. Good slideshow: there's even an "angle" button on the remote so you can rotate images with one touch.
    5. You can watch a DVD while recording to the HD.
    5. Good connectivity: you can connect digital cameras, and through the USB port you can play slideshows from USB jumpdisks, CF cards, etc.

    A bit dissapointing4
    I bought this because, yes it's a sony and it upscales to HD 1080p brilliantly. Why am I dissapointed, I have multi region dvds, but alas it doesn't play multi-region dvds, Other than that it's fab. I suppose you can't have every thing. I did search and this was advertised (not on amazon) as multi-region compatible.
