After 2 months of use: Pros: easy to use device. Recording on SD: choice of formats XP, SP, LP ... is real and can be chosen prior to each recording. DVD Formatting: Formatting after that, it actually still 2 h (SP) or 4 pm (LP) and you can record directly to DVD instead of SD. The EPG is updated properly (if information channels), and the camera turns off rapidly (this is not the case for all burners). Weaknesses: Although it is possible to record directly via the EPG, it starts and stops dead in start / end of the program, so it still lacks a bit of issue; scheduled recording is better. The lack of immediate registration nuances, spent 60 minutes and then it jumps to 90 120 minutes etc. Subtitles: even if we stop this function, subtitles (in French while the sound is already in French) are present during the viewing and are copied into "quick copy" (solution: subtle touch). Edition: rather poor because the cuts after erasing are brutal and imprecise (the beginning / end of the sentence is often truncated). Quick Copy: useful but too restrictive function (eg HDD DVD yes if in video mode, formatted on this unit without prior edition.). Manual: explicit enough if we do not ask questions! That essentially. This is not the ideal one writer but I do not regret this purchase so far.
