Manufacturer's product description
This DVD recorder is designed to provide the greatest flexibility in recording and playback by supporting DVD-RAM, DVD-R, and DVD-RW recordable disc formats. ColorStream Pro Component Video Outputs allow the highest quality video signal to be sent from the DVD player to a component video equipped progressive scan TV. When this connection is utilized with today's HD-compatible sets, typical NTSC artifacts-like video noise, dot crawl, and flicker-are virtually eliminated, resulting in a low-noise, highly detailed picture with unequaled color purity. Digital Cinema Progressive (3/2 Pulldown) delivers the smoothest, most film-like images to any progressive scan television, such as an HD-compatible one, and ensures maximum resolution. Time Slip Recording/Playback offers the user the ability to begin watching a recording that is already in progress, using DVD-RAM. DVD-R/CD-R/CD-RW Compatible playback ensures discs made with a personal computer can be played back in the home theater system too.
Advantages records straight from VHS to DVD, acutally real dual tuner! Disadvantages cannot edit unless you use DVD-RAM discs, not freeview
..., such as viewing controls 1/3 of the way down and then the menu controls beneath that. The channel selection keys are in the normal 1-0 layout (like a touch tone phone or mobile) located at the top of the remote. The power button is a big red circle so you cannot mistake it for anything else and is very easy to locate in the dark.
The recording and transfer controls are placed at the bottom of the remote control. The main criticism I have of the remote control is that you have to press the buttons quite hard. For example if I want to use super fast forward, I have to keep the forward button pressed which can lead to finger fatigue.
If you are anything like me then you will mostly use this with the lights turned off, so the layout and different shapes of the buttons really help you distinguish which button you need to press in order to operate...
