Good Points

It was at the time good value for money being a Sony or so I thought !
Looks good underneath my Sony Wide-screen TV


Bad Points

I too shared most of the problems that other readers have said. But one good tip
After trying Sony's own DVD discs and other Tesco cheap makes of discs which all failed at some point in my DVD Recorder, I bought the TDK DVD-RW discs and after 30 months of using these discs they are the only ones that do not give me any trouble !!!


General Comments

Generally I was as frustrated as anyone with this product but I still use it. One thing that may have to be done is for everyone to buy a DVD cleaning kit which will clean the dusty lasers inside the machine and this may improve.
Also make sure your DVD Recorder is not blocked in a small cabinet or has other equipment such as a Satellite Receiver or VHS player on top as this may block any cooling vents for the DVD Recorder and could get too hot for it to function properly.
