RE: Yay for Richer Sounds

:D Quite right kipster. Been shopping at Richer Sounds for years - great bargains, friendly, helpful staff and definately NO hard sell, even with optional extra warranty, which incidentally is bags cheaper and a great scheme too compared to the other stores.

Yup, Big Up for the Richer Boys..

Go there for a browse (albeit small stores I know), you may get a lollypop from the staff for your efforts!

RE: Toshiba Dr-1 Recorder at Richer Sounds for £279.99 Anybody got one??

Just personal preference, my dear bowfer.

RE: Toshiba Dr-1 Recorder at Richer Sounds for £279.99 Anybody got one??

I read a couple of reviews including one where someone moaned about his Tosh unable to recognise/record any RW disc he tried. He claimed that even the friendly people at Tosh were unable to solve the problem.

I think he must have just been unlucky, whereas if you buy Phillips, you seem to be asking for trouble.

Anyway, if wossname`s happy with his, its good enough for me. I think I`ll get one. I would consider the Panny E-55, but it doesn`t have an i-Link which I`d find very useful for hooking up to the camcorder.

Toshiba Dr-1 Recorder at Richer Sounds for £279.99 Anybody got one??

Me thinks its a decent price, but does anybody have one to say whether or not its worth buying?

I have heard it can be a bit reluctant to play many makes of DVD-RW discs...

RE: CHEAP DVD RECORDER ADVICE

All I can tell from LG`s website is that it records on the DVD-R/RW format and plays a number of formats, thats all it says.

You would think they would at least give more info than that for their own product.

RE: Recordable DVD or Not Recordable DVD - That is the Question.....

Thanks for the advice guys.

Lachie - would you let me know how you get on with your 3100??

Recordable DVD or Not Recordable DVD - That is the Question.....

Hi techno gods out there.

I wanna break into this DVD-Recordable lark and have a budget of £300.

With this amount, my preferred choice of hardware, the Pioneer 3100 is a little out of my grasp but I can afford the Toshiba DR-1. However, I have read one or two horror stories regarding the Tosh (such as it refusing to write on most discs).

Can anyone point out an alternative to these two, or should I just put up with GBH of the ear from the wife and spend the extra for the Pioneer? I would prefer a DVD-R recorder than DVD+.

One more thing, would it be possible to back-up my discs using the recorder hooked up to my Ariston player which is macrovision disabled?

Any help gratefully received!!
