 GREAT MONEY SAVER July 13, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This was my first DVD recorder. Its easy to use and has a great picture which can be adjusted to suit your own taste.
The upscale to HD is brilliant. Most HD pictures on Sky are upscaled. This little box does exactly the same thing for all channels.( including the ones fed through my Sky box). So over all a saving of 10 a month.
So if you have a HD ready TV and want HD channels and DVD's, go for it!!!.
Great Picture - Poor Scart Switching. May 23, 2008
This is a fine piece of equipment.
Although sound tends to be a little below what you would expect, the excellent picture more than makes up for this.
One major draw back is the strange scart switching behaviour of the current range of Sony machines.
Switching seems to be reversed on these machines.
Overall, the fine picture and 250GB capacity make this an machine worth having.
 Dissapointed and Disgusted March 12, 2008

I ordered this item on 13th January 2008,that date has most certainly been unlucky I as yet have not received the item.
Amazon are still advertising the item as available and in stock, I have lost count of the amount of E Mails I have sent demanding an answer from them,I get auotomated replies from Amazon and the occasional name added to the response, but no commited answer from Amazon.
They have even taken the antisipated delivery dates off my account notification.
I have demanded a confirmed date, but I never get a reply.
The service is disgusting,they are advertising the product still, and I have asked many times for them to send the items they are advertising as in stock,no answer!! By the way, the item they now advertise is more expensive than the item I ordered, I think that tells you something "con" is the term I would use.
WHERE IS MY STUFF??????

I installed this yesterday mornining, and after one day of use I'm here writing this review. It's easy to set up and so easy to use it's unreal. My wife was a bit hesitant about using it to record stuff, but programming via the electronic programme guide is a sinch, after about 5secs she had the idea.
It's important to ensure that you get a NEW model, don't buy secondhand or you could end up with having to run a firmware upgrade to make the EPG programming work properly- visit sonyeurope.com to download the firmware upgrade if you have made that mistake.
Upscaling to 1080p is superb, I tried it out with Casino Royale and A Scanner Darkly. I had my neighbour round as I was trying it out, she was so gobsmacked by the quality that she decide to stay and watch for a while!
This little box is a winner. The only downside is that for DATA DVDs you are limited to the DivX codec, whereas most internet downloaded TV stuff is XViD, hopefully there's a way round that. But hey I've only had it a day.
