Sleek and User Friendly
(5 out of 5) by Ms. Valerie J. Moore on Feb 3, 2009We purchased this DVD recorder based on Amazon's product profile and it does everything you hoped for. It's quite easy to install with a bit of patience, set up recordings and produces a great tv image, but does not arrive supplied with the relevant scart cable. The suggested ie " people who bought this DVD recorder also bought this", cable package is useless unless you intend to use a second tv, projector or audio component. It's all pretty complicated. Our advice is just buy the DVD unit and source your own scart cable. Nonetheless a great bit of kit and well supplied.

fantastic
(5 out of 5) by H. Ireland on May 9, 2009 (UK)The Sony RDR HXD890 has lived up to all my expectations and moore, it is running quiet and the digital and HDMI picture quality are suburb.
The manual is a bit daunting, but I used on screen instructions,and had it set up and running in no time.
I just like to add I am 73 years old and usually not very good setting thing up, this was just a piece of cake!
Although not on the cheap side, I would still recommend this to any one , go and get it, it's a 'GEM'

(5 out of 5) by Mr. H. Liddell on Mar 27, 2009 (UK)The first recorder of many I have owned that actually does what you want it to, every time and without fail - a brilliant piece of kit.
My only criticism refers to the manual, which while very comprehensive might be rather daunting to the tyro. Its layout could be better, while description of some of the remote controls is not always as clear as it might be; for instance, the ins & outs of the TV/DVD changeover button are better deduced from experiment, rather than by reading the book!

(5 out of 5) by L. Edwards on Feb 26, 2009 (Blackpool UK)well impressed
recording programmes is so simple
pause tv just like sky box does
great for listening to music through surround sound, it even has a music folder mines now got lots of mp3s in it, excellent substitute for stereo & piles of cds all at the touch of a button
also good for storing and viewing digital photos
USB port is good too, watch a Divx movie straight from a pen drive!
