Have purchased the product for a bargain price at Aldi. Device is a naked disaster. Overall, it was eight times replaced or repaired. Repairs were carried out in Wittenberg, while the unit was often back in an even worse state. Equipment has been replaced or repaired mainly because the Dubbing (direct copy VHS DVD) failed after several copies. The device, which held the longest was broken only after three months. The device (manufacturer Funai) I think because of the fragile Dubbing function for a faulty design. Incidentally Medion has refunded the purchase price for the first nine months.
