useless,the worst electrical item i have ever bought!!
usualy if something is not great i can live with it but this sony dvd/hdd player is a different story.
it takes around 10 minutes to delete a film from the title list,during this you cant do anything!!
i cant watch other programs whilst recording,although on some of the cheapest recorders on the market you can!
it judders terribly on playback.
it has turned itself onto standby several times and when on standby IT WONT RECORD!! even my vcr from the 80's would turn itself on from standby to record...
its noisy!
the title list menu is un-responsive.
the manual is complicated.
it starts recording early and i have missed the end of several programmes.
the only upside this device has is it looks nice apart from that its useless.
if i could i would rate this 0 stars out of 1000!!!!
ABSOLUTELY USELESS I SOLD MINE FOR HALF THE PRICE I BOUGHT IT.

DO NOT BUY THIS
