Philips DVDR615 - how to record/pause by Dom Robinson
I bought this machine recently since the DVDR75 (and the DVDR880 it replaced) kept doing things like not recording or not reading discs properly, but when they did work, they worked as I wanted them too. However, with the DVDR615, apart from the godawful menu design (what was wrong with the old one?), the smaller remote and stupid redesign of the menu system which isn't as intuitive as the...

Sony SPSL2 Speaker Package? by Andy Turner
Anyone know what the spec is with these, and whether they're any good? From the photo, the sub appears to be 100w (which I guess isn't that much?), but I don't know about the rest. Maybe it's a Richer Sounds only package, because I can't find a review or much reference to the model number anywhere! http://ws2.richersounds.com/showproduct.php?cda=showproduct&pid=SONY-SPS12-SIL Cheers

Samsung HD-745 Anyone used Electrical Disount uk.co.uk? Pixmania better? by Rolo Tomassi
Hi, Anyone used these guys before (electrical discount uk) or have comments on the Samsung HD-745? I mostly want it because of the HDI output to feed by Sanyo projector. http://tinyurl.com/3rvyo Pixmania do it as well for £1 more - any better/worse experiences. Or can I buy it elsewhere - they seem to be a bit hard to find in UK.

Do I need a M/ R dvd recorder by AV99
I'm contemplating buying a Panasonic E55 dvd recorder which will be used for recording purposes only as I intend to use my dedicated dvd player for playback . Would buying a M/R version of the E55 be a waste of time or would I need it in order to record M/R discs that I already have or borrow ? Thanks for any advice

Got meself a new LCD by Nige
Ended up going for the Sharp A3 & now I have all connected up (PC via DVI) it blows the Toshiba into matchwood for the PC aspect, but the TV picture is not as clear as the Toshiba. It's a cracking all round TV/monitor though. Bit more expensive than what I wanted, but it's great! Component DVD looks stunning Nige -- Subaru WRX (The Bitch) Range Rover Classic (Monty)

RIP:VHS by APPRIA40WR
Ah, the memories. Just seen on the BBC that Dixons are to stop selling VHS 'machines'. I wonder if DVD will last 20 years? I know it will because of the Web but I wonder if retailers will drop it for more profitable machines. £25 DVD plaeyrs http://www.argos.co.uk/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10001&productId=114602
