I pretty much hate this piece of equipment
|
It works, I'll give the designers that. But it's one of the most frustrating pieces of gear I've ever bought...maybe the MOST frustrating for a unit that works.
The remote is impossible! It's made up of tiny buttons that require an inordinate amount of pressure to activate, and the remote has to be aimed pretty much straight at the unit to work. With so many excellent remote controls to inspire and educate the designers (such as the TiVo remote) why does anyone still design a remote that's so hard to use?
The basic operations of recording a DVD have many steps and are almost totally non-intuitive. Everything has to be "just so" in order to do something as simple as, say, retitling a recording or finalizing a disc. Even the "one-step" controls don't work intuitively when I try to do something as simple as recording from the built-in VHS deck to the DVD.
I can not imagine that Kun-Hee Lee (the Chairman and CEO of Samsung) has ever tried to operate this piece of gear. If he had, he would have fired his engineers, right after tossing this unit into the Han River.
I really hate this unit and regret buying it and look forward eagerly to the day when it dies and I can replace it. But I give the unit two stars because it does work...if you can figure it out (keep the manual handy) and get your fingers around that godawful remote. |
