Page 1 of Had To Return Goodmans DVDR301R DVD Recorder...

I had to return this machine back to Argos, two weeks after i bought it.

It was VERY hot too touch and the clock was jumping ahead by two hours every day.

The vents werent blocked but i dont know how many times i had to reset the damn thing.

ugh..im almost off of dvd-recorders now..

Buy a Pioneer, Sony, or Panasonic.....You will like em then. :)

mine often jumps forward by a bout 10 mins no matter how often i reset it, they do seems to run hot if u use cheap mirror dvd+r disks the "glue" on them starts to heat up and the edges of the disk become sticky and the disk wont finalise

i wonder if u have noticed

with mine for some reason theres a strange "running water" trickling sound in the background when i have recorded anything using the scart or video inputs ,and whatever kind of disks i use i get the sound, its not there when i record but it is on the disk when i have finished recording but it doe`s not happen if i record from the t.v / freeview...

"Spooky" :) :)

Heh, I remember I bought a Goodmans VCR many years ago now I`d only had a couple of days when after playing a vid for a couple of minutes the picture and sound completely died. It was under warranty and the store had an engineer come out and fix it and replaced a dud chip apparently.
