Good Points

Does seem to work very well despite its counter-intuitive looks and manual. I have managed to record and playback several DVDs now and all seems to work OK.


Bad Points

Manual - not very helpful. If you want to finalise a disc so it plays in another machine - takes a leap of faith to get to the right screen.
The LCD display on the front seems dark and difficult to read, perhaps there is a setting I have missed??


General Comments

The DVDRW300 is a very good value so far, once I had managed to work out the cabling and controls nothing has gone wrong since, only one coaster so far and that was me picking the wrong video source for the recording.

    How do you get this DVD player to recognise the Sky digital channels?

  • moscowroolz Rank: Corporal on 12th Jul 2007

    It does not recognise individual channels - just the set top box as a source via the SCART lead - at least that's how it works with my V+ (NTL) box. The "Copy to DVD/VCR" option on V+ seems a bit iffy - got picture but different sound when I tried it - so just playback what I want to record to DVD now.

    Hello

    I was just wondering if you could help me out with recording from hard drive to DVD disk on this machine as you seem to have had success! The manual is next to useless in my opinion and I can't fathom it out. What I want to do is put onto disk some programmes that I have recorded for my little boy. I followed the limited instructions and selected the items I wanted and pressed the record/dub button, we got a symbol on the TV screen and display on DVD said dubbing. That was 4.30pm - it still said dubbing at 7.30am this morning! The DVD is still blank and I'm not sure what to do next so any help would be very much appreciated. Sorry for being so long winded!

    Hi Dungbeetle.
    Not sure if I can help - not knowing what set-up you have - but for what it is worth I always play back through the DVD recorder whatever it is I want on DVD - this is not "dubbing" as I understand it.
    In other words The DVD recorder is being fed from my V+ box as a straightforward playback of a recording - not "copy toDVD- (Via scart connection) and that program is being shown on my TV (via scart) with a blue band showing "recording" on-screen when I start to record, "pause" "stop" and so on as I progress. This ties up my cable - but it does mean I can control the recording!
