LG RH 188 DVD / HDD recorder 160 GB Double-Layer (DivX-certified) Silver (Electronics)

Customer Review

Very postitiv I find the picture quality in both recording on HDD and DVD.
DVDs are created apparently without error in burning at high speed (about 15 DVDs for now). Even in long-play recording, the picture is still good.

As a really large drawback I find the manual and would also
take on some of my predecessors in this section cover:

- Why the important for the conclusion of the firing point: "Finalizing DVD" will be performed on fully elsewhere in the manual, is incomprehensible.

- The manual explains a programmed timer can be interrupted by pressing the POWER button. This seemed to me the same uncommon
and indeed it is usefully instead the STOP button, then you will be prompted via dialog to confirm this by pressing the Enter key.
Very good method, but misleading in the manual.

- The manual should be noted that it is necessary to DVD in timer recording directly to switch the device by POWER button in standby. Wrong!
In reality, you have to do this even if a timer recording to HDD. My first recording went wrong result.
Now that I know it, it's good, but my understanding why this has to be technically ever so lacking.
He could but before the start of the timer will automatically switch into standby with a brief reference 2-3 min before.

As a handicap, I feel also the fact that a made to HDD recording can only be burned in high speed on DVD,
if it has absolutely not changed. As soon as you cut away even just 1 second or 2 advertising clips interconnects
(Which is going to be beautifully simple and well described is), this title is "processed" and can be fired only in "real time". So
I needed to burn a slightly edited 4-hour recording just really full 4 hours.

No idea if this is similar at other brands, but I think
it is not very user-friendly. But I can live with it because I usually only receiving things from Premiere,
so I have to cut any advertising generally and therefore can burn the unedited recording at high speed.

One shortcoming of the remote control: the slider at the bottom of that one
often need to open to get at important keys such as "Show View" or "Title Menu"
is extremely stiff, crack and bend strongly every time you open.
This is so uncomfortable that I now simply no longer close the slide. Now he slackens and the FB is then 28 cm long.

Otherwise I have no complaints on the operation slightly, the quality
When dubbing from the VHS recorder to the LG RH 188 convinced me.

Despite the shortcomings due to price / performance 3.5 stars from me, but because you can not, rounded up to. 4
