Page 1 of The BNI 1000R DVD RECORDER first impressions?

Hi

Just got mine today and boy is it thin and seems to run cool and no fan or annoying bright lights.
The machine seems well made and very little noise with a good picture from settop box recordings and the tuner has a fine tune setting and is easy to scan / save /swop channels.It is also very quick at erasing a dvd-rw [ quicker than my yamada 8000 ] with a picture as good but the sound is slightly lower output but does have 5.1 for shop dvd,s to use.And a nicam tuner onboard.The down side is only 1 scart for output for the tv everything else is phono sockets and while you do get cables you dont get an in/out scart adapter to connect things like settop boxes.But once connect they work together fine.Have had no disk problems as yet , what works with the yamada works with this machine just as well.The finish is better than the yamada case wise and it is more user friendly .The remote is ok .The only thing now is a hack for multi region it does have the nstc / pal control.
So to sum up i like the machine it looks smart and 55 mm thick and silver in colour.

Sounds like a good buy. Whats MP3 playback like. Does it show mutiple directories or do all the songs appear in one? Random/Shuffle facilities?
