The PIONEER S-555H, the best thing you can buy in my opinion

I've bought a DVD recorder, because the recording quality of my Videoreorder no longer fits in the time ... Another reason was that we were forced digitized ...
after I had heard and read that even the analige reception should be better with a digital supply cable was my decision, declare what this advantage also to use ... A DVD recorder to be angeschaft ...
due to tests and forums were 3 devices in the 300 Euro class shortlisted.

1. DVR SONY 750
2. DVR PANASONIC EH-EH575
3. DVR 555H-S PIONEER

My decision for the PIONEER much not easy for me, because all of the 3 units have good tests and equipment ....
following reasons spoke against the SONY; According to many forums it should have a louder fan as the PIONEER .... against the PANASONIC said the lack of USB Schnittstelleund Guide Plus ... apart from that the PIONEER aloud tests and forums the better picture .... they are priced in about the same ... all of the above 3 devices have a 160GB hard drive ...
For the above reasons, I opted for the PIONEER DVR-555H S

Done thus gessgt ... bought last week unit, unpacked ... genommn manual at hand and machine connected ... this much to me, the flaw schonn repeatedly described here also the good intelligibility I had partially repeatedly read in order to understand. .. Wow that's already a good start I thought .... as the automatic search was over and I saw the television image of the recorder I said WOW ... just happened to me after the first test shots of the recorder ... A really recommendable recorder with a great picture and excellent sound that has earned after my menung the test scores of 1.4 in each test to fully

After some familiarization with the menu structure of the recorder programming using the GUIDE Plus goes easy on the hand .. VPS and Sowview complement the programming sense ...
Incorporation in the Guide Plus is very useful ... after having the finer points out one needs (almost) no program guide more ... However, the incorporation takes a while because it was apparently written by the same author of the manual that comes ( grins
As has been written to the other basic functions much saving I want this and want me here now on a few highlights go (in my opinion)

Highlights:
1. Great Picture and Sound
2. sophisticated technology through the acquisition of basic functions (Frimware) of predecessors and Andren PIONEER DVR ---> super stable and solid (no crash or failure during long shots as they sometimes occur in other bones)
3. robust processing of the case
4. Guide Plus is very reliable (see above)
5. Superautomat. Chapter Recognition (so that the film can be made free of advertising) .. after some practice you can make a movie ad-free within 3-5 minutes without ifs and buts ... just super
6. Number of inputs and outputs 3 piece, 2 times and 3 AV Line in and out svideo USB, DV, etc. everything what your heart desires ...
This allows auszugliechen the shortcoming of all DVRs that not fired with ISO MEGS can be played ... ie all MPEGS must be converted to the DVD Video format ... Which means rip and again to burn a DVD again, ... as I said this shortcoming have all DVR (to my knowledge) ... The solution is at least for me, I have an external DVD player is connected to the Line 3 of the Pioneers ... thanks to its many inputs / outputs of the PIONEERS no problem I use the on the rear of connection via RCA (TON) and the SVIDEO input L3 (IMAGE) ... wow ... the image and the sound coming super over as if the file / file would be played directly in the PIONEER Diest certainly also thanks to the built-in filter PIONEER "best recording" .... with this function has almost no loss caused otherwise rip and recode the
by means of a connected external DVD player to L3 it is thus not a problem, its MEGS without appreciable loss (I rather have the feeling that will be optimized through the filter recording) to the hard platter or directly on the DVD in the DVD-Video format burn
7. Variabele recording qualities ... of course, the PIONEER, like all its competitors, recording levels of XP SEP ... but what not many have, that's it again in 32 grades of 1 (worst) - 32 (best) untertelt are in accordance with the stage is the resolution of the image .. here I am for MN9 entschiden ... what the Auflöungs 480 * 480 or equivalent LP ... so beware of the plate 139 160GB h ... Movies Quallität must be distinguished only with a magnifying glass of the original .. contributes certainly the OBN called Bidverbesserung (filter) at ... just great
7 LIVE TV (television zeitverzögeertes funktiiert ebenfallls in DDR mhrfach mentioned brilliant Quallität
8. USB inputs have indeed many but here he also works eineandfrei ... like all DVRs it can "only" MP3s / WMA Oddr JEPGs transferred ... into the connectivity options it exceeds my knowledge, however, many of its competitors ... so is a Syncronisation MP3 / WMA on the PC mittells Media Player possible ... USB drives and keyboard, hard drive are connected darürber (HUB goes) ... my solution is to sperichern on the internal 160 GB of the recorder only movies and on a to store 40 GB hard drive to the USB mrinr pictures and music (reason: disk can angeschl on laptop are for comparison.) .... For this, the disk must ALS PRRIMÄR FAT32 formed Animal T BE (KEYWORD PARTIONMAGIC9) ... larger plates ... guess possible to 500GB ...

There is much to write ... but I think that would go into too much detail ....

As already emphasized, there are (almost) nothing he can nciht .. and especially what it can to have maacht he supergut ... I HSBE it so far not regretted chose the PIONEER and can recommend it highly enough ... It will be a purchase without regrets
