Samsung Multi Format DVD Recorder DVD-R149/XEU
Fantastic value dvd recorder from Samsung

Customer Review: Cheap and cheerful
I purchased for under ?50- and you do not expect a great deal for this amount.

I did find that my panasonic ram discs played on this machine which was the main reason I bought it, but the Samsung do not play on the panasonic. I too have tried timer recording onto ram disc and it wouldnt. does anyone know if this a fixable problem?

Customer Review: Very disappointing - don’t bother.
Could not cope with dvd-ram discs (same problems as other reviewers). Progressive scan feature resulted in sound but no picture. Froze several times, I had to unplug it to re-set. It was cheap but I thought Samsung were fairly reputable and now I wish I hadn’t bothered. Returned within a week for a refund.

Customer Review: Multi region required
Any one know of a multi region hack for this. It ia fantastic - if only it played multi region
Customer Review: Superb Sony
This is a stonking good DVD recorder. The menu and simple timer/setup controls are a joy to use. The Sony RDRGX350B looks sleek and stylish and delivers high quality recordings at many speeds - it can record up to 10 hours on a standard disk!! The machine plays and records most if not all DVD formats and has special modes to record 3 hours on a disk (to record that special 3hr film at best quality). The menu was easy to operate and had an Undo in case you made a mistake. Having used previous DVD recorders this one stands out and the remote is very light and has great range. At under ?100 this is a bargain. Sony quality without the price.
