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!
