    Good Points: Compact Easy to use Excellent editing tools

    Bad Points: Does so much, need the manual on hand, all 132 pages!!!

    General comments: Needed to reduce the number of pieces cluttering the TV cabinet. What with the Sky+ box, DVD player/Home cinema system and VCR it took up a lot of room. TV was playing up so that needed replacing. After slating Comet in and earlier review, ended up there looking for the replacement TV. Bought a Sony LCD TV and happened across this Pioneer HDD/DVD/VCR unit. It was everything I needed in one package. Although I no longer have a surround sound system, I don't really miss it. This HDD/DVD/VCR recorder is the only one I've found that has a built in VCR. All the other HDD units only had a DVD recorder. Although the HDD is only 80Gb I have found it more than ample for my uses. You can record directly from source [i.e. incoming TV program] to either Video, DVD or HDD. It will handle: DVD video DVD-R DVD-RW CD Video CD VHS (PAL/SECAM) To comply with legislation it will not copy, Copy Protected Video's or DVDs By recording onto the hard drive you can edit the recording, to remove excess recording at beginning and/or end plus there is also the ability to remove the adverts from the recording. There is also the option to create chapters at 10 or 15 minute intervals. Transferring a 2 hour film from HDD to DVD-R in SP quality takes about 15 minutes Quality selection for a 4.5 Gb DVD-R/RW: XP 1 hour SP 2 hours LP 4 hours EP 6 hours SLP 8 hours SEP 10 hours Programming is straight forward. OTR as you would expect. There are three timer setting methods. The usual setting time/date/duration, Videoplus and Pioneers own Guideplus system. The Guideplus can download and store the electronic program guides from SKY and/or FREEVIEW boxes and using the supplied G-Link, programs to be recorded can be selected from the on-screen program listings. You can copy directly from a camcorder, copy unprotected Video's and DVD's [i.e from DVD camcorders etc.] to the Hard Drive. You can edit out the bits you don't want to keep. You can then 'burn' onto DVD R, joining together multiple films and create a menu. The hard drive will also store music from Cd's and create a 'Jukebox' There is also a PhotoViewer facility to view JPEG photo from CD-ROM/R/RW on your TV. Overall I have found this Pioneer HDD/DVD/VCR to be extremely versatile and once you master the basic functions, easy to use. Highly recommended
