HAVE GIVEN THIS TO MY DAUGHTER WHO WILL NOT BE AS EXACTING IN HER CHOICE OF COMBI'S AS I WAS. MY PREFERRED CHOICE IS EITHER LG OR SONY.


5 out of 5 stars FANTASTIC   November 2, 2008

This item has everything you need DVD player, Video and Freewiew all in one machine and one remote. All this for a fantastic price too. You do need to supply your own scart lead (a small additional cost).

Normally my television reception in my area is rubbish, so I don't get many channels. But the Freeview built in was fantastic and picked up most (if not all) the freeview channels.

I was very worried that this would be complicated to tune in, but it could not have been easier. Just remember to switch the machine to VCR mode to watch Freeview.



4 out of 5 stars Good for dubbing but some minor drawbacks   November 2, 2008
 40 out of 41 found this review helpful

The D-VR18 works very well when dubbing from videotape to DVD. If this is what you want it for, you will be pleased. Dubbing is started with a single button, and when STOP is pressed, it stops both the videotape and the DVD, so it's easy to dub one long videotape into chapters on a DVD. It also reads all my old tapes. Minor drawbacks are the time it takes for a DVD to load. I have timed ten to 20 seconds, depending on the DVD. I also find the software overly complex, requiring more steps than my old Panasonic DVD recorder. I have a DVR for easy TV recording and only use this DVD recorder for dubbing old tapes and archiving stuff I want to keep, dubbing them from the DVR to DVD. I am pleased with the unit for these purposes but if it was my only recorder, the start-up time would bother me.
