This is a weird one. We recently bought a new DVD recorder (turned off the region coding straight away, of course). Checked it out and everything worked fine except the timed recording. I set it up to record in a few minutes, sat back and waited, and nothing happened. Wasted an hour fiddling with it. Wrote to the company and received the reply: "Timed recording will only work when the device is switched off".Am I missing something or is this just bizarre? You can't use the device to do something if it's turned on, only if it's turned off? Who dreamed that one up? I understand that timed recording can't start if the recorder is doing something else, but haven't they ever heard of error messages?
I'd be interested to hear from other DVD recorder owners. Are there newer, smarter models that get around this strange flaw? Or is it an entrenched part of industry thinking?
