 hans317's recommendation | |
Concept is excellent. Can do everything you possibly want. Menu is not too hard once you understand the logic behind the time buffer.
Manual doesn't clearly explain how it is best set up. Machine is extremely unreliable.
In a period of 9 months, I have had 3 replacements of my Philips HDR W720 hard drive recorder i.e. 4 machines. All 4 units broke down, each with different problems, such as picture freezing, disc tray failure, not being able to record. Philips New Zealand admitted that the machine had problems, and suggested to get a full refund, as it could not guarantee that future failings would not occur. Four machines is an appalling track record, and I will NEVER purchase another Philips DVD recorder.
