Universally not suitable

Basically, a good solution, because you have two devices in one, and can save a remote control and a connection to the TV. However, no proper execution. The manual is, as so often, rather poor in the notes. Respect. Firmware Update was email contact with manufacturers required since neither on the website nor in the manual the procedure described. Contact was but fast and as you also learned the meaning of the updates, ie the recording beyond one day. Respect. Format Extensions there is nothing to say the Player plays Xvid, but no DivX or Nero, thus no Allersfresser. But is, in principle, not so bad.
The remote control is cheaper waste, stiff, very spongy, works almost hold only within plan. Per SCART and RGB I fine noise bars in all operating modes, so switched to S-Video, as we went. Was the previous DVD, elta, not the case. Files from the USB stick it reads very quickly and play videos which works well.
Now comes the crux: To record on the USB involve dropouts. Quality is something like a heavy rain on the Satschüssel with digital TV, constant interruptions and blocks. I tried it with different transmitters, always the same problem. The transmitter is normally received, but once the recording is in progress you continue even at the current picture with interference. I suppose the processor is at the moment just overloaded. Programming via (mini) EPG does not work, but on a list. It is a program position, start time, then there is time, however, the end time is meant! Send-establish goes fast and there are a lot of receiving, as seen from the forth a good tuner.
Conclusion, a DVD player average, mainly because of the restricted formats. Unfit as a recorder, which was for me but a decisive argument for this device because DVD is already fairly widespread with Freeview, therefore a point. I saw him again packed clean and bring him back, was not Amazon.
