Review 2 of 2

Price Paid:  $0.00

Summary:
I like the product, it does what I bought it for and the manual is nice and clear. It’s replacing my VCR and I don’t need to have HDTV quality out of a program that’s just coming in by cable or 5.1 sound. Stereo is just fine. This is not replacing my DVD player, it’s just for recording and playing back shows. My DVD is better quality for watching movies.

Strengths:
Love the remote and I really like the commercial skip. Handy when it’s late and you just want to watch your show.
Instructions where nice and clear

Weaknesses:
Don’t really like the fact that I have to use ONLY DVD-R/W and not the “+”, if I didn’t have lots of “+” on hand I would not mine.
The thing that I found disappointing that it will not pass the signal through the coaxial cable, so for now, I was short of S-video cable and I don’t have any more component inputs on my TV, I’m using regular RCA going to my VCR and then to my TV.
Coaxial signals do pass through the coaxial of course, but will not be the one that can be display through the TV

Similar Products Used:
The only similar product would be my external TV box connected to my computer and then being able to record to hard drive or straight to DVD. That one is not working at 100% and I’m getting tired of playing with it to make it work, this is more straightforward and will do what I want. I just want to record a few shows and watch them later.

So many to choose from! Lets us boil it down. How to Choose a Floorstanding Speaker that fits you:

Give someone the gift of hi-fi. Or make the step yourself. Let us point the way...

Moscode 402Au OLT stereo power amplifier Review

George is adamant about the fact that the Moscode 402Au is not just a tube gain stage slapped onto a solid-state power amplifier; rather, it is a tube amplifier with a MOSFET output stage.

Lowther’s DX-65 driver in the Teresonic Magus XR Review

A new driver from Lowther is real news. A new five inch driver is even rarer news, so it was with great anticipation that I waited on this pair of speakers to arrive.

Aune Mini Headphone DAC User Review

The unit arrived from China well packed and everything seem to be in place. No external abuse by the carriers. The only problem was the power supply it came with. The box came with a cheap step-down converter.
