All in all a very nice device. But even a few quirks have crept here and there. So but now times from the beginning. With this device, you are very often in a fix without the remote control. For example, when playing a CD can only be from one title to another jump on the remote control. Well today is indeed so common practice but, you want to get only briefly by listening to a CD, is on the TV, and jump with the remote control through the menu. What the Skip buttons are has not yet opened up to me. The loud fan noise I can not confirm, well the device is not so whisperer. When programming I had some problems at the beginning, but after that smoothly ShowView gins. Logically it would be really to read, as in the other recession that we know what was now programmed stations. VPS I have after I have been in contact with Samsung never turned back since the device is otherwise up to record for long-distance runners. Very questionable. But what I like less important that broadcasts the normal 16: 9 recording. When playing via HDMI cables above and below have a bar, on a 16: 9 TV. About Scart this phenomenon is not there !!! ??? So much for the negative side. Everything else, if you can live with the shortcomings described, in top order. The storage capacity of the hard disk is very neat. The image quality of a DVD is thanks to upscaling (1080p) very well. All connection options you need are available. The supplied remote can also control the main functions of the TV. Clear light and shadow are everywhere, but in this price range, the box with the same equipment is very thin. For us the unit is to use well to everyday use. We would recommend it with good.
