I was looking for a HDD / DVD recorder, which is inexpensive and yet powerful the HR773A .The Samsung 160GB Festplatte.Einfachste use, very good results. What struck me: The device has except Scart and HDMI input / output. My latest TV SHARP LC46LE824E has 4 HDMI inputs / outputs. The connection with my HDD / DVD succeeded completely only via Scart, HDMI so far only the playback version. Recording via HDMI does not work out. What that may still lie. The connecting cables are only 1.5m long and of good quality. The unit itself, I would buy again and again, even though some procedures (eg starting, loading, formatting) take a long time and therefore are used to. The indicator in the display is very weak. Thereby, the recorder should be installed at eye level.
