 Excellent machine, easy to use March 3, 2008

After buying and returning a similar spec Panasonic, I did a bit of research looking for players with the specs I wanted; digital tuner, upscaling, multi-region capability, fair size HDD, and found only four or five that met my requirements. br /Reviews on Amazon and elsewhere led me to this one, and I'm not at all disappointed. Some reviews said it was not that intuitive to use, but I've found it to be a piece of cake, both following on screen instructions and reading the manual, which to be fair, is rather large (even though I normally let my wife learn new stuff first and then teach me). br /Picture quality from DVDs and tuner is really good, pause live T.V function is a doddle and editing out ads and unwanted bits is really easy. br /Price wise from Amazon it is 40 quid cheaper than my local Sony dealer, and buying a remote multi-region unlocker from Ebay made that part simple and cheaper again than my Sony dealer doing it for me. The codes to unlock it are available online and are cheaper still. br /All in all an excellent buy from Amazon.
 Good recorder let down by EPG December 27, 2007

This is a very good recorder let down by a fault in the EPG. Basically it's fine if you set it to record programs on the same day. However programs set more than 24 hours in advance can be lost. br / br /The good news is that apparantly (according to the pcadvisor website) Sony have a fix on CD-ROM. Call them on 0800-1695263.
 Not a Dual Digital Tuner !!! December 25, 2007
Simple is Good
15 out of 17 found this review helpful
Don't be caught out by the "Integrated Dual Digital and Analogue Tuner". I thought this would mean it has two digital tuners and that I could record BBC1 and watch BBC3 but you can't you must watch the channel you are recording. Dual means one digital and one analogue. Also the EPG interface is not as nice as the VTX-D800U it has the same layout but it feels a bit crowded and is baby blue not the crisp grey and white. I'm still getting to know this device so may post again.

Very satisfactory product with good features. br /Pity about instruction manual. Need a lot of patience or a BSc to understand it easily. Dose not have an easy menu or basic functions to get you started.
