Excellent AV performance ; Sensibly-featured digital recorder

VHS-only VCR ; No analogue tuner ; No infra-red control over STB

A well-featured machine that performs well and is only let down by some compatibility issues

Easy to use, instructions clear and easy to follow. " Gaffered " by two silver surfers from set up to operation.

Display of the TV Guide not brilliant. To use all the functions requires time and patience, although basic use of DVD, HDD and VHS pretty straightforward.

Ease of operation
