Title: Bad right out of the box!
Product review: I never even got around to watching a DVD. The first day I had it, I tried to tape a basketball game. Five minutes into the tape the machine screwed up and started recording unusable streaks of color. Additionally, the layout of the controls on the remote was bizarre and confusing, and the controls on the machine itself were extremely minimal. I've rarely been as immediately and completely dissatisfied with a purchase. I went to the go-video web site as listed in the packing materials- (http://www.sonicblue.com) and was directed to three new websites- none of which even acknowledged that they make a dvd/vhs machine. I promptly took it back and exchanged it for a Panasonic.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
