RE: Please help apoel in Cyprus with DVD recorder (read manual)

thanks a lot socks_uk. really appreciate this. unfortunately, due to limited replies to my posts for help and due to the fact that i was getting really tired and frustraded i just bought a pioneer 220-S.

i know it is not one of the good recorders of the market but i would never pay 630 pounds! to buy a panny E85(yes believe it or not this is the price in Cyprus). i also found the 460 pounds asking price for the pio 520 too hihg(could have bought at least 100pounds less from uk with the CYpound-sterling difference).

so i thought it would have been better to buy a relatively cheap one from here with the prospect of replacing it in a year or so.

not sure i made the right choice(bought the 220-S for 250 from a local store) but at least i found peace!

thanks a lot again my friend and i want you to know that i REALLY APPRECIATE this.

talk again soon.

anyone to comment on sony rdr hx900?

still not able to decide which recorder to buy. from a 200 pounds one i went up and now considering to buy either the sony 900 or the pioneer 520. anyone who can help me decide? do they worth their asking price?

CAN A REGION 2 PIONEER 420HS HACKED TO MULTIREGION?

does anyone know how or even if its possible to make a PIONEER 420HS multi-region?

RE: Pioneer 420 8x 4x 2x Discs... Does it matter which one??

you cannot imagine socks_uk how FRUSTRATING it is. i`ve been trying for a WEEK to find out about it (know very little about these things) and i began to get the picture only last night.
here in CY we use PAL B/G whereas in UK PAL-I. therefore it seems i need a multisystem recorder(not multiregion) that is a recorder with a tuner compatible to PAL B/G. i hope i understood correctly! now im looking for such a machine.

if anyone can verify the above it will be very helpful. and also where i can find one!

RE: Pioneer 420 8x 4x 2x Discs... Does it matter which one??

sorry for jumping in. for the friend who owns the pioneer 420H- do you know if the tuner is compatible with PAL B/G? i want to buy one from england and take it to cyprus where they use PAL B/G.

RE: Panasonic Multi Regional Recorder?

sorry to jump in you guys. i was wondering whether any of you know if there are any MULTI-SYSTEM recorders (tuner compatible with PAL B/G in particular). i couldn`t find any panny. how about sony or pioneer.

irrespective of the above, pioneer 420H any good?

as far as the multiregion, i found a site which sells a cd for that purpose for 10pounds. dont remember it though. i`ll do a search and let you know.

RE: anyone to recommend a good dvd recorder?

after a week of intense searching i finally decided to go with the panny e85. however another problem, a bigger one arose! i live in cyprus and i was gonna buy it from england cause its much cheaper there. but i found out that we use PAL B/H/G whereas in england they use PAL-I. from what i understand, the TUNER will NOT work. im new in this area and i dont understand much. is this the case? is it gonna work or not? is there a way to "change" the tuner from PAL-I to PAL B/G/H?
