Good Points

Cheap, very good record quality.


Bad Points

The last 3 I have had, yes that is 3, have all been faulty in one way.


General Comments

The recording on the Yamada DVR8000 machine is excellent. The playback is crystal clear. Unfortunately the 3 recorders I have had, from Richer Sounds, bought then taken back for exchange, have all had problems. Even the guys at Richer Sounds warned me against buying it.
1. Dvd+rw after 4 records then a delete, bad pixelation on playback of 4th recording.(Samsung dvd+rw). Otherwise everything else was OK.
2. Pixelation on a record for the first time.
3. Scart input from sky sat gave obscure pictureson the dvd channel.
Seriously, don't buy this recorder until UMAX have sorted out all the software problems. There have been so many returns of this item.
You have been warned!
