Easy to use once you understand how to work it

Instruction manual not very explanatory

Extensive versitility, portable between locations, brochure was reasonably explanitory

This equipment has many functions and is therefore complicated to use, it should have been simplified Hard drive recording proves to have faults in playback ie every few minutes a pause and then it catches up again.

Freeview receiver pretty strong.

Very poor control system, i.e. tiny buttons for the functions you use the most such as the guide. Pausing live TV takes about 5 button presses and is not automatically done. You need to have the machine turned off for it to record anything. So...

Easy to set up and user friendly.

Hums when switched on worse playing dvd, probably benefit from felt feet tabs to prevent vibration.

all round average

its noisy also buffer does,nt work woth cable tv ,plus to use timer you need to switch off dvd

Clean and simple looking design - aesthetically pleasing. Reasonably simple controls The manual is concise and understandable. It does what it says on the box

The controller is too small with legends that are only just readable - All paper documentation should be in 14 pitch ariel at least with no odd colour combinations. A CD / DVD version of the documentation viewed through the TV would be useful.
