Sharp DV-HR300U DVD Player/Recorder with 80-GB Drive
AWESOME A NO BRAINER
Aside from the 860 Canon printer I recently purchased, this is the best purchase Ive made. Amazon, as always shipped this out sooner than soon. Great service. For the actual deck itself.. its fantastic! No lie, as the other customer said. &quot;Right out of the box&quot; Turn it on and youre ready to record from TV to disc, to harddrive, from hardrive to disc, from disc to harddrive..This gem does it all. Great menus, layout is superb and easy to understand. Made my first recording last night and guess what...no DISC ERROR death screen on this beauty. I set the timer to record Tripping the Rift on both a disc and the harddrive 2 hours apart and went to bed. I really expected to see some error, or a no go, but NO!!! this thing did it without so much as a burp. I am totally thrilled with this device. Thank you SHARP for making our dreams come true. I finalized my new disc and popped into my Sanyo player and Vavavavoom, I was soon enjoying Tripping the Rift, in superfine dazzling quality. This was to replace the lemon I bought from Philips...the 985. What a joke, after one year the damn thing shows errors on DVD+Rs almost everytime. Dont know how many coasters Ive created using it. As mentioned in the online reviews from other customers, it worked for exactly one year flawlessly. I didnt want to believe the reviews but folks 1 hundred customers cant be wrong. And they werent. So now it sits on my entertainment center as a DVD player, and an occasional DVD+RW since it does do that for the time being. Im not one for sending it back for service and pussyfootin with customer service, I chok it up as a complete loss and move on. Thats my way of ending a bad experience. I am really bummed out on that purchase. But hey, I came out winning with this baby. It does what its supposed do and much more. So check it out for yourselves guys. Its a no brainer. I love my new sharp!!!! And Amazon I love you, great reliable service!
