The unit is beautiful (black sober design), complete (full connectivity), and is able to do almost everything (time-shifting, DVD camcorder-conversion etc ...). but the instructions are ultra-long (106 pages A4 size ... in french), and sometimes difficult to understand (following descriptions of possible options without didactic kind presentation "I could do this or vroudrait> how?"). So I went for 2 or 3 weeks of hassle, but it is perhaps the price to pay for a complete device, given also the unbearable multiplication of recording media (DVD + R / RAM ... and V formats, VR ...). Otherwise, it seems to be working well for what I've tried, with image quality and satisfactory response speed. A real flaw: the Samsung remote control only the basic functions of your TV, including whether it is a shame Samsung therefore, one must accommodate the remote collection.
