im afraid Liteon is not a good bet at all

I bought a 5045 DVD recorder (cheap apparent high spec)

worked fime for 8 months - optical drive failed - went in for warrenty repair - fixed ok - worked for another 10 months then guess what

optical drive failed in record mode - back for an extended 24 month (special to UK ) warrenty repair etc

came back fixed worked for 5 months optical drive failed 3rd time OUTSIDE 24 month warrenty

PROBLEM - there is NO out of warrenty repair service in Europe for Liteon quote " it's too expensive - it's cheaper to buy a new one ? ? ? ? ? ? "

Liteon reliability - very very bad - check out the web forums

ditched Liteon - bought a new Samsung one
