NEC NDH160

High level of recording functionality, Incredibly well designed and integrated interface

Some minor problems with the remote, 12 month warranty only

An exceptional recorder, inhibited only by a lackluster remote, the NEC NDH-160 is the perfect option for those looking for all the efficiency and functionality of LG's RH7926W, but minus the high price tag.

Good recording quality ; Great documentation ; Supports almost every DVD media format ; Supports DivX, MP3, WMA and JPEG ; Ample editing options

Poorly designed remote

When working, it's good

Short shelf life; annoying idiosyncracies like having to change the name of the disc title before finalising a disc or it won't do it

Easy set up and understanding of menu ; Very good quality when taping from foxtel>NDH using svideo cable on SQ quality

Time Recordings require the NEC to be shut off (though i'd say this exists in every VCR/DVD recorder

Has an easy menu system, etc. Plays all types of dvds. The hard drive stores HEAPS of stuff. Very easy to put our MiniDV recordings onto DVD too.

It has the same menu function / remote as an LG dvd recorder my work used to have. We had all sorts of probs with that machine, so i was a bit worried at first. But apart from that, there's no cons i can think of.
