Bert, Stourport-on-Severn

Score 9.0/10

Good points:: Good picture quality and plenty of storage for recording to HDD. Easy to record and delete.
Bad points:: Outside the above operation I don't find the instruction book all that easy to follow. Having tried hard to do some 'advanced' recordung I have had to give up. At every switch on it tells me there are new chanells available, which most times I ignore.

Manufacturer's Description

DVD Recorder with HDD (160GB) and Digital Tuner

1080p Up-Conversion By interpolating video data using proprietary algorithms, SD format data is up-converted to 1080 × 1920p HD format video data. This conversion to HD format increases the richness of the original data by approximately six fold, and produces the highest possible image quality when viewing content on a large-screen HDTV. Adaptive HD Enhancer Enjoy watching crisper and sharper video enabled by detailed reproduction of contents on DVD and HDD.

Auto Preset Down Load Connect a DIGA DVD recorder to your VIERA TV via an HDMI cable, and the TV channel setting information is automatically downloaded to the DIGA recorder. Direct TV Rec. If you want to record the program you’re watching, you can start immediately by pressing the VIERA Link button on the VIERA remote control and selecting “Direct TV Rec.” on the VIERA Link menu screen. Pause Live TV Pause Live TV lets you freeze TV programmes just like pausing a DVD, by selecting ""Pause Live TV"" on the VIERA Link Menu.

When recording a TV programme, this function determines where new scenes begin (by “listening” to the voices in the programme) and automatically inserts chapter marks at those places. This makes it easy to skip over adverts and start playback from a particular point.

Fan Control Technology for Quiet Operation DMR-EX769 feature an advanced control system that automatically adjusts fan speed based on information received from an internal heat sensor. When the internal temperature rises, the fan turns on to prevent overheating. When the temperature is low, the fans shuts off entirely, providing whisper-quiet operation.

DVD Drive Control The DVD drive operates only when a disc is inserted, eliminating unnecessary noise.
