Review:
When I first got this product in May 2006 - I was very pleased with it. As it was cheap and packed full of usefull features.
The dissapointment came around a year ago in June 07, and this was my second Liteon DVD/HDD Recorder as the prevous one broke down and really was a brick and it was the same story here, the dvd drive would NOT prepare any disks for recording and wouldn't finalize propley. The final straw cam when it refuse read most of my recorded TV collection, even if was finalized or not.
This is the last time I will consider a Liteon product as they are BUILT DOWN TO A PRICE. If you are looking for a product you will keep for years and years, turn to a Phillips or Sony as they would be built much better!

Well-specified and its picture quality is first-rate, but it doesn't quite sound awesome enough to justify its cost
Sony BDP-S760
At last, we have the awesome Blu-ray player we've so long suspected Sony was capable of making
