As far as I can see you get the 30 day return option with this so it is hard to see how you could loose. I have reserved one & will confirm the return position when picking it up tomorrow.

Does anyone know if you would be able to put a virgin sd box through this to upscale it, as my sisters bought a hanspree and im not sure what the scaler in it would be like, could this be a cheap upscaler?

In this case it doesn't state that it is exempt but worth double checking at the checkout.

Not quite - it does Dolby 5.1. It just happens to also have a mono sound option apparently. Google it for more info.

If the sound is MONO that means no home cinema... What a stupid thing to do, build an upscaling DVD recorder with HDMI for high-def movies and then cripple it with mono sound...

Weird, really...

Well the identical looking FREEVIEW version here http://www.argos.co.uk/webapp/wcs/st...tId=1500172499 has Nicam output so perhaps a misprint.

Strange though but worth taking the chance.
EDIT - As previously mentioned MONO is a choice not the norm. It outputs in NICAM!!

Would question why it has been reduced and what the quality is like though.

You may wish to consider this info.
:
The Wharfedale DVDR24HD, Acoustic Solutions DVD160RW300, Wharfdale DVDR24HD160, Acoustic Solutions DVD80RW300, Wharfedale DVDR24F and a few others with Crown, Bush, Goodmans, Techwood(Tesco), Asda Duraband are all clones of the same machine made by Vestel in Turkey, they have a LSILogic DMN-8603 DVD recorder processor in them, but the record quality is not up to much if you compared them with other DVD recorders with Domino chips (Liteon LVW-5006) in my opinion there a bit hit and miss, hence the reason there usually under £70 for a stand alone DVD recorder.
This model is the DVDR24HD

I read on another forum that it just has the option for mono sound. It has stereo options too!

So i read from someone that has one.
