Customer Review: SIMPLY TO USE. FEW POINTS FOR PEOPLE TO KNOW.
Firstly, this machine does not have a HARD DRIVE at all. Anyone who says it has has a different model number to this one. Regarding the only 2 hours recording thim this DVD has the facility to record EP which is 6hours play on DVD or 10hours on DLayer disc. Refer to pg 42 of manual and pg 23 for all settings. To operate these on the on creen display press the rec mode on the remote near 3 red record buttons on remote. It will show on screen when you repeatedly press rec mode on remote. A cute feature on this is when you are selecting programmes to record on the TV menu the machine will tell you if there is not enough room on disk to copy programmes it on. So then you just select the rec mode and in it corrected. As for the EPG update at 3-4 pm i found that if you put machine in total shut off mode i.e.(no time displayed at all) then the noise is not as bad. The first programme i recorded i had to power the machine up to see if it had stated to copy or not as nothing lit up on the display, my other Sony actually started up but this one does not. Great for the planet eh. Much more user friendly than my old Sony and I love the fact that you can start to watch something after you have started to record it. Say the phone goes so you start to record Corra, you can then start to watch it when phone call ends. You select title list and it will show you what you are recording then select enter and then select play from beginning, you watch start of show and the DVD finishes recording the end of Corra. Very clever indeed. Great machine, would recommend it to anyone. You’ll love it. So simple to use. Wrighty

Samsung DVD-HR730 - Multi- Region DVD Recorder With 80Gb Hard Drive

Customer Review: Effecient and Simple
I recently purchased this DVD Recorder as a second to an existing more expensive JVC model. The Samsung was easy to setup straight from the box and within minutes I had all the TV channels and my CCTV system linked in and working. Recording to HDD is easy although the system does not support an OverWrite feature on repeat (Daily/Weekly) recordings which is a shame. Navigation around titles is easy once you have found the ANYKEY (seriously!) and the copy to DVD is both quick and easy to operate. Editing facilities are basic but again easy to use and playback quality is good. If you need a good value for money machine with easy to use basic features or a second machine for basic duties look no further than the Samsung.
