Very pleased. Works as stated. :)
By Subzero from Apex, NC on 09/29/2009.
Describe Yourself: Casual User
Cons: Good but not ideal docs
Best Uses: Office, Home, Storage, Movies, Archiving TV Shows
Pros: Simple Controls, One-touch Recording, Fast Setup
Would definitely buy this again! :) The only "issue" I ran into is that burning DVDs to play in standard players (DVD-Rs) requires a finishing step. If you don't do this, the disc is unreadable (I coastered a few before I figured this out.) Finishing is a manual option in the on-screen menus. There is a setting to auto-finish, but I also learned the hard way (although it is in the manual) that this feature only works if more than 30% of the capacity is used. So while this isn't really a problem with the device, it would've saved me some earlier hassles had this been made more prominent in the manual. Now that I know this, the whole process has been flawless so far.

AT FIRST, THIS SONY DEVICE SEEMS VERY IDEAL FOR HOME USE BUT WITHOUT OUTSIDE ASSISTANCE THIS DEVICE IS REDUCED TO A COMMON TAPE PLAYER. NEVER AGAIN WILL I OVERLOOK THE WORDS BUILT-IN TUNER.
