Quality Control Inspector no. 5 - You're fired!
review by: Anonymous rating:

I've had this for about a week now. It was DOA but I noticed a flash of light when I unplugged it for return. The screw on the neutral connection in the plug wasn't tightened!



The link to: http://www.vistron.tv/dvd_DHR5001.php

is correct, but the manual calls it DHR-5006.

The manual is A4 and quite comprehensive but there are one or two errors or outdated areas that lead to confusion. Fortunately the on-screen instructions and help are good. Dubbing from HDD to DVD seems about 2 or 3 times speed at highest quality i.e. copying 1hr from HDD to DVD takes about 20-30 mins. I assume this will be quicker at SP etc.

Lots of connections at the back and front as pictured.

About as noisy as a fairly quiet PC when running and, of course, silent on standby.

I tried ASDA DVDs and had some write errors but Pleomax ones are working faultlessly, so I will stick to quality disks.

The buttons on the remote are very stiff and quite 'hard work'.

The big button on the right glows red or blue (standby/on).

As long as this is proves reliable and lasts a long time I will consider this a very good buy.

Can anyone get this machine to record??
review by: Anonymous rating:

os: Windows Vista

I have had this machine for 3 months. Neither I or a the very expensive TV engineer can work out how to get the thing to record. The manual bears no relation to the words/figures which appear on the face.

Any tips would be useful.

Have already spent twice the cost of the machine on TV engineers trying to get it to work!!

I Think This is a DHR-5001
review by: Anonymous os: Not Applicable

I am about to buy this on the following assumptions. Firstly, this is not actually a DHR-5006, in fact there is no such thing as a DHR-5006, according to the Vistron HP at http://www.vistron.tv/dvd_DHR5001.php Instead, I think this is the only other listed DHR a DHR-5001. The DHR-5001, as shown on the Vistron HP is exactly as pictured here. The spec for that is BUILT IN TV TUNER, and a detailed spec as follows:
