Thank god for the reset button.

Pros When it works it's OK. I enjoy the ability to use different source material.
Cons Buggy and unreliable. Often scheduled recordings do not record.
Recommended it? No
The headaches this device causes has made write my first product review. I'm glad the engineers had the foresight to put a reset button on the front panel.  It's a shame they didn't correct the issues that make it necessary.  Sometimes I'll put a disk in and the unit will just hang.  Similar units will let the user eject a disk with an error. This box will not give you that option until after it runs a lengthy self check.

Another problem is the copy protect error keeps arising. Sometimes it happens when recording off the air. It has even cropped up when I was dubbing some old Beta tapes I recorded back in the '80s.  I KNOW beyond a doubt those don't have Macrovision.

The source select feature is buggy as well. When I select TV (tuner) from the menu sometimes it's just blank. No message about a weak signal. If I pass RF through to the TV I can verify that the signal strength is not a problem, but an apparent selection problem in the unit itself.
