No automatic adjustment of picture formats: Everything was as 4: 3 started, no matter what I set. I then had to always switch on the TV. Annoying!
Heavy compatibility problems: Most DVDs (DVD-R), which I have taken with my previous DVD recorder (Sony), did not need to play. And most PC burned DVDs (holiday videos, ...) were not recognized. All DVDs concerned could be played back on other devices. No go!
Dubbing from HDD to DVD: I was used to being Mark (several episodes of a series, for example) multiple recorded on HDD movies and then all was over playing at a time from my previous device. Then you had a DVD with several films. What is indeed expected. One on this machine, you have the power or the like a DVD with a long movie without chapter marker The recorder merges the individual films to. That is, you have to transfer every single film, if you will have a DVD with several films. Very annoying!
Mark the last position: playing a song starts again at the beginning. The device remembers the last position is not - neither in nor DVD in HDD playback. Annoying!
Playback during recording is possible in principle, but when the recording starts, the playback is paused. One must then wait about half a minute, then you can start playback again and seek the previous position (see previous point). DivX video files can not play back during recording.
The unit went back.
