Samsung DVD-SR150 Integrated VCR DVD Recorder Reviews

+ The only good thing about this machine is it looks good.

- Instructions are difficult to understand, the quality of picture is poor, the colour tone does not match the colour settings on the tv. The overall operation is over comlicated with far too many options and is very time consuming.

+ Easy to set up & use.
Accepts DVD-R, DVD-RW & DVD-RAM discs

- Doesn't accept any DVD+ disc

+ looks good - didn't test the performance

- Unfortunately you can't watch Freeview while the timer record facility is in use. This is the way early VCRs were before separate tuners were incorporated. Hopefully samsung will put a separate tuner in this DVDSR 150M.

+ Easy user guide for recording, good quality recordings at various levels of resolution.

- Not clear in the user manual about finalising the disc. I found if the disc was finalised without renaming the recordings a finalised disc won't play on the unit, but will play on any other DVD player - found this out after I had disposed of used discs.

+ Looks good and I found it fairly easy to set up for first use.

- This kit is being used by my dad, but apparently it only remembers channels for a few hours before you need to go through the entire channel-search process.

+ attractive design.. works smoothly and quietly..some good features..produces a great recorded picture

- a little tricky to use..but then i haven't had it long

+ over all great

- nothing

+ very clear picture

- Being an older person it is a bit complicated

+ easy to set up and use

- ot the best transition of scenes in editing mode

+ very easy to set up and get working. So easy in fact I got my mother-in-law to buy the same model!

- Up to now , none.

+ Appears well engineered, easy to use, excellent editing facilities on DVD-RAM.

- Would be nice if it did chase and play with DVD-RAM, but it does not.

+ This machine is very easy to use, if I can ues it I think most people will be able to. It is easy to set up digital channels. I do like Sansung products.

- I have noticed that this mahine does loose it's channels from time to time, and I have had to auto setup tham again, but doesn't take long, and it hasn't happened while I was recoreding. Also I have a problem changing the recoreding length, and looking at the remote the book it says to hit the REC MODE button, but I found I was pressing the wrong button, you must press the green B button, I was hitting the one below.

+ Sleek design, easy to set up.

- Manual doesn't explain the digital elements. It took us much trial and error to get the channels stored as you need to select 'free' only and not 'all'. It doesn't seem to like Kodak DVD-RW disks, despite saying they can be used and you get a message saying this disk cannot be recorded on or played. No idea which media will work.

+ Excellent for down loading saved progammes from Sky+ as well as recording from in built tuner

- Seems to lose all programme data when switched off at the mains?!

+ nice looking,easy to use

- none that apply to me
