Sony RDR-AT 105 DVD / HDD recorder 160 GB (DivX Certified, HDMI, 1080p upscaling, Guide Plus +) (Electronics)

Customer Review

I've been looking for a replacement for its approximately 10 year old VHS recorder for my parents and got stuck after a disappointment from the house Medion DVD-HDD Recorder AT105 Sony.
After about three weeks intensive use here my positive / negative list

+ Fast initial installation:
Connecting, language, country choose to search for stations, sorting stations, ready. So should it be

+ Very easy to use:
The sophisticated remote control and the recording possibility of a kind of EPG ("GUIDE Plus +"), the device is easy to use on people> 60 - to accommodate only 4 clicks are necessary to look at only 3 :-) continuous shooting (daily, every Wednesday etc.) are also possible

+ Recordings are labeled useful
were with the competitors from discounters recordings meaningless with "FILE01", "File02" etc. is designated, the AT105 calls the shots "date - Sender - Send Name" (based on the GUIDE Plus + data) -> so you quickly find the recordings again

+ DivX playback from USB media
the device also makes it possible to play back from USB sticks / hard drives avi files, the management of these files is analogous to internal recordings, which simplifies the use again.

Now a few things that I liked not so good:
- Brief snowstorms in the image
when power is off can occur for a few seconds to snow grains form on the TV. This takes about 8 seconds and is then over. This happens about 2-3 times a week and is probably with the internal signal transmission from the HDD recorder together for TV, but does not interfere further (we all know where it comes from). If anybody knows Remedy -> let me know.

- A copy of USB on board possible
While it is possible to play files from USB media, but not a copy on the USB media, even from there to the internal board is possible - a pity.

- No recording and viewing simultaneously recording possible
What really bothers me a bit is the fact that it is at a current recording not possible to watch a recorded program - at least I've found no way to do this.

Despite the 3 mentioned less nice points the device is for me still a recommendation - the really easy operation (remote control, Guide Plus + works etc. via analog cable) tear it out and also for art amateurs and the elderly easy to understand ,
