Sorry for posting several times in a row, but I have found a post about another Samsung DVD Recorder with a similar sounding problem here
http://forum.digitalspy.co.uk/board/...d.php?t=394410 . Perhaps it would be a good idea to avoid this brand in the future. Can anyone recommend me another entry-level budget DVD Recorder with an HD (80GB+), that has been fairly recently released (preferably in 2006)?
Thanks again for your help.
