Title: good machine , minor flaws
Review: I bought this machine for my birthday in november, after months of research and reading reviews.the minor set backs to this machine is that the manual does not fully expain all of the issues with the unit for example ,i hook the recorder to my tv via a motorala cable box and hooked up a vcr to the recorder , so when i tried to change the recorder to the inputs for the vcr it would not change,so after taking it back (twice)and calling philips, i learned that i could not switch the recorder to an external input with the recorder is setup to control the cable box, so for me to record from a vcr i would have to A. go in to setup and tell to recorder that i do not have a cable box,that way a I can switch channels on the recorder and not the cable box or B. set the timer to record from external input. But overall i like this machine, good hard drive space , remote controller could be better layed out, but this is a good unit
