Please can anyone give any information on the Swisstec DVR-1028. I may be a bit thick but I find the instruction booklet does not give much help. Can anyone enlighten me? So far it will not accept a blank DVD and maybe I am using the wrong type of DVD?

Check your media type + or - .

The Swisstech accepts +R or +RW media I beleive.



I quite like the Helpdesk people in a benevolent (as opposed to malevolent) way as they do some valuable work in preventing us being inundated by every halfwit who can work a phone.

TO ENABLE THE MACHINE TO RECORD ON A BLANK DVD PRESS THE SOURCE BUTTON ON HAND UNIT AND THEN PRESS THE NAVGATION BUTTON.YOU MIGHT HAVE TO PRESS THE SOUCE BUTTON A FEW TIMES.THIS PROBLEM GOT ME IN A CUSTOMERS HOUSE BUT THERE AGAIN.........
ALL THE BEST

THE SWISSTEC DVR-1028 IS A GREAT MACHINE,AFTER HAVING TWO GOODMANS DVD RECORDERS WITH SPEAKERS FOR £149.99 BOUGHT FROM ARGOS.THIS MACHINE WOULD SOMETIMES WORK,BUT FINALISING TO WORK ON ANOTHER MACHINE WAS THE MAIN PROBLEM,AND EVENTUALLY I GAVE UP.

THE SWISSTEC DVR-1028 IS SIMPLE TO USE.IF YOU`VE NEVER HAD A DVD RECORDER BEFORE,ALL DVD RECORDERS ARE HARDER TO USE THAN VCR.
FOR DISCS TO WORK ON THIS MACHINE YOU NEED A DVD R+,OR DVD RW+.TO RECORD,YOU HAVE TO TUNE IN THE CABLE CHANNEL,THEN PRESS SOURCE(GOING THROUGH I LINK),ETC UNTIL YOU GET TO SCART,PRESS PLAY ON VIDEO MACHINE TO GET PICTURE,THEN PRESS RECORD.A LITTLE RED DOT REMAINS ON SCREEN,AND USE STOP AND PAUSE.IF YOU NEED ANY MORE HELP CONTACT ME AT 16RRAP[at].KU.OC.LIAMTOH THANKS

Many thanks for your advise regarding the type of discs. As you may have realised I had the wrong type of disc- alls well now.

Many thanks for clarifying the procedure for using the machine, I seem to have mastered the basic system and all seems to be okay.

Thanks for your help regarding the machine, at first I thought I had purchased trouble but I now seem to be able to record without too much trouble. I find the manual s translation from chinese leaves much to be desired!

HI I HAVE ALREADY POSTED TO SAY I LIKE THE SWISSTEC DVR-1028.
BUT NOW I HAVE A PROBLEM.THE RECORDING FROM THE TV IS FINE,BUT I HAVE A FEW VHS VIDEO`S TO PUT ONTO DVD AND THE QUALITY IS BAD,THE BACKROUND IS BRIGHT WHITE,AND SOME PEOPLE`S FACES ARE GHOST WHITE.HAVE I GOT A FAULTY MACHINE,OR IS THERE SOMETHING I CAN DO TO FIX THIS.PLEASE HELP!!!

Regarding copying video`s onto the Swisstec. I have copied several films from video to dvd and have not had any problem. I have recorded via the scart wired between the video and the dvd recorder, also via the channel number that the dvd recorder tuner has allocated to the video. So far all is well. donakerman
