Negative Positive
Title: Good when it worked
Review: I have used the DVR daily for just over a year.Pros:DVD RAM format superior to +/- RDigital TunerOverall featuresCons:No HDMI on this model (some have it)Slow (annoyingly so) to change channelsUnreliableProne to lock-ups requiring resetsWho should buy this unit? Avoid this unit, especially used ones.The unit regularly crashes requiring a reset. It does this about once a month. This was okay to deal with. Just after a year of owning it the unit refused to eject a cassette I had checked out from the library. I searched the internet and found this was a common problem. I opened the DVR and manually ejected the cassette and it was fine, turned out it was a jammed cassette (I don't know why it couldn't eject it instead of throwing error codes).A week after the cassette problem, the unit failed to eject a DVD. Same problem, looked on the internet and saw this was a fairly common problem. No electronic device should be this much fuss, especially one that cost me $280 new.
Is the review positive or negative?
