Customer Review: So Much Promise
Firstly, It does do what it says, it records on hard disk and DVD, and it does so competently. It has little irritants like naming of titles is only in upper case, no QWERTY keyboard layout. The pause live TV only lasts an hour, which I know a year ago was cutting edge practically, but still! It tries to be slick, and flash but it realy isn’t. I do like the editing functionality but the menus are clumsy. Who did they test it on?The user manual says you can record on DVD-R but somehow it won’t let you. +RW is fine though. the picture quality is good on SLP so use that and save space. You can get a lot on 160GB at that rate. Good for recording your old VHS onto HDD, & editing it (in a basic fashion) before dubbing to DVD. You can’t watch one channel whilst recording another! It’ll be obsolete before long too long as it’s analogue. Shame really, good idea that wasn’t taken far enough. Add twin tuning freeview and better navigation / editing tools… now that would be the thing.

Customer Review: A good DVD recorder and SACD player too
I bought this machine back in September 2005. It is still working fine and, to be honest, it has been a more reliable one than my original Philips (purchased a couple of years before that date and at a time when DVD recorders were selling for upwards of ?600). The old Philips constantly skipped and stuck on pre-recorded DVDs. The LiteOn has not done any of these things. Maybe I was just lucky with the individual model? True it doesn’t have any of the subtle editing capabilities of the Philips, such as chapter mark edits. However, aside from all the many a/v visual formats it plays, the LiteOn is also a very good SACD player. I have mine rigged up to play back through my hi-fi system whenever I feel the need. The SACD gives a terrific audio playback: certainly comparable with HDCD. I’m purchasing another one while they are still available: I can always use it in my office for SACD playback and keep as a spare machine should the original purchase finally breakdown.
Customer Review: Avoid like the plague!
I bought this DVD recorder just over a year ago and it has been nothing but trouble: 1. It rejects the majority of recordable discs, including those recommended on the website (which, curiously, has recently been inaccessible). I’ve wasted countless recordable discs trying to get this thing to work - the normal routine is that I insert a blank disc, it makes a repeated whining noise for about 10 minutes, then it displays the message ‘Fail’. Occasionally, it does accept a disc, but we’re talking about 1 in every 6 on average. 2. It’s slow to respond even on the odd occasion it does accept a disc. 3. It’s noisy. 4. Installing the firmware has made no difference. The old adage that ‘you get what you pay for’ is certainly true with this machine. It’s poorly built and hopelessly unreliable. But it does display the word ‘hello’ when you turn it on.

Samsung DVD Recorder
Amazon Price: ?103.89
Customer Review: Great machine
Initially I bought a HDD dvd recorder (not Samsung) to replace my old Samsung model. After endless trouble trying to set up I shipped it back and bought this, the updated version of my old dvd. No set up problems with this. Easy to use and much quicker to load and process the discs. It’s quieter as well. If you don’t need a dvd with a hard drive, and on reflection, I don’t think I did! Then this piece of hardware comes highly recommended, and with a great price tag!
Customer Review: Decent budget DVD recorder
I bought this DVD recorder primarily for its HDMI connection and it’s upscaling capabilities. (I have a Liteon 5006 DVD recorder which still works fine but has no HDMI - for my Sony HD ready TV). Firstly my gripes; I’m struggling to notice any difference between normal and upscaled pictures. On some upscaled DVD’s i’ve also noticed some digital lines at the edge of the picture. Whilst 1 and 2 hour recordings are spot on - the 4hr long play has proven unwatchable in most cases - with images starting blocky with fast moving action - and then sharpening up when the action dies down. (The Liteon 3hr recordings - whilst grainy - are always watchable) Shame Samsung didn’t include a 3hr recording option which usually fits most British TV series on and longer films. It has a flexible recording mode - but all this appears to do is change to different recording modes depending on space left on dvd. ie. don’t expect 2hr 15mins recordings to be near 2hr quality - they are recorded in 4hr Long Play The Samsung does support dual layer disks - i’ve used Datawrites +R discs - but these are write once only - and are twice the price of +/-RW disks. (I struggled to see if this can be made Multi region through the remote - bought mine elsewhere where it was chipped.) Now the good; The operation of the player is relatively quiet and a massive improvement on my noisy Liteon It is inexpensive With it being super format - most PC’s will be able to read the disks making copying, editing and the like easier (My Liteon recorded +RW disks will not play on my PC - but the Samsung +RW ones play perfectly) The Samsung has a number of editing functions - which differ depending on disk type - but with +RW you can insert chapters manually and then hide them during playback (so it skips adverts etc) All in all this is a decent recorder for the price - which attempts a lot of things - and does them OK. Look elsewhere - and perhaps upping your budget for better HD upscaling

Customer Review: pathetic
I rang this retailer up abou this product and the staff were very un professional and also hung up on me as they were unable to answer my comments i would recommend NOT to buy any products from this supplier as if this is the way they treat customers before they buy god help us if we folk out money then this behaviour occurs.
Customer Review: 6 months then bang
I purchased the Panasonic recorder because it had good reviews and also did all the things I wanted - play DVDs’ ,record plus freeview all in one neat box. But all I had is trouble. From the start the machine would not keep any preferences when it is turned off, so it has to remain on all the time unless the machine decided to turn it self off - for a self check - which it does, often. Now 7 months since purchase it no longer records or plays any disk! DO NOT BUY THIS MACHINE - YOU WILL WASTE YOUR MONEY!

Customer Review: overpriced
The only difference between the RDR-HXD1070 and the 970 and 870 is, by Sony’s own admission, the internal disk size. Which is an industry-standard SATA disk anyway. The models even run the same firmware! I therefore don’t see how Sony can justify a price markup of between 60% and 100% (depending on where you buy) between the 1070 and the 970. Additionally, the devices, although DivX certified, will only play DivX files from optical media. They are incapable of copying them to the internal hard disk (like you can for jpg files). This is on purpose. If Sony give us a single new product, with a huge disk, and which is capable of copying and playing DivX files from the internal hard disk, I will buy it the next day! Until then, I’m not parting with my money!
