Consumer review (productreview.com.au)

Good

i do like it, the tuner has a great picture, same with the dvd. the instruction manual is a little to large for the average user to learn just to make a dvd and finish it properly. so far so good if anything goes wrong i'll be back to comment.

records and edits tv easily, epg is detailed, plays all dvds r4, looks great

the instruction manual...too much no volume conntrol for itself (will control a samsung tv's volume). its a LARGE dvd player channel changes are slow tedious using the up/down buttons. takes 4 - 5 seconds to boot whilst making a few clunking sounds it...

Samsung DVD-SH853

smart looking and excellent picture quality.Loved the simultaneous playback/record feature

tends to 'freeze'on occassions whilst playing back from HDD.tried to download and install from manufacturers site,but problem still persists. I must emphasise that it only freezes for a couple of seconds at a time,but it can get annoying

overall a very good machine, play back on the dvd side very good and picture quality the best i have seen.

it took a long time to sort out the hard drive, recordings where very poor,pixalating and freezing.until i got a firmware update from the samsung website, and this seems to have cured this problem.
