Hi,
My LG HR352SC DVD recoreder has developed an intermittent fault.

Just 1 year old but LG have been good enough to offer full refund as they no longer sell this model.

Now, I'm stuck.

Price I paid was £149.95!!

What can I get that has all of the functions of this model (Or most, anyway) for under £200?

What I want/need is a surround sound system, 80+gb HD recorder with USB/Divx capability.

any suggestions?

The only fault with this one is that occasionally it decides it is unable to record when 'Record button' is hit. Turn it off and turn it back on and it'll record OK.

I'm even thinking of putting up with it as £150 doesn't seem to get near to what I want.

A 300W recordable home cinema system with an 80Gb hard disk drive, satellite speakers, USB and super multi DVD recording.

    I had an LG hard disk/DVD recorder. After it went wrong for the third time I got a Sony instead, like this one. It doesn't have the home cinema accessories but it is very good.

    I'm wondering if I might be best keeping mine for the sound system and buying another.

    The LG has a 9pin din output and I was wondering if this is common.

    Problem with this recorder is the lack of connectivity so I might not be able to use it's surround sound.
