Seems ok for the money
Personally I would not have a DVD recorder unless it had a hard drive built in as it saves burnignstuff to disc all the tiem as you can burn directly to the hard drive and pick and choose what you want to burn0 -
Any pros and cons anyone please?
Been checking all day to see if anyones posted, I'm not too bothered that it hasn't got a HD.
