1 out of 5 stars Poor Product - Very Bad Customer Service.......2007-12-21

Video and sound froze for approximately 4 seconds every 10 minutes when watching a movie in DTS audio mode. Same movie worked fine in 5.1 Dolby Digital. When the sound froze, a very loud noise would be emitted from the speakers. DTS movies have played perfectly on my system through Panasonic and Toshiba players.

The first customer service representative informed me that my Samsung DLP TV did not support DTS (DVD recorder connected to TV via HDMI); therefore, the player would not work in DTS mode. I informed him that the audio was connected to my DTS certified receiver via an optical cable and this should not be a factor. I called back the next day and the customer service representative passed me to a Level 2 technician. I was told by this technician that the DVD-R160 did not support DTS audio. I had to explain to him that DTS was written on the case, DTS was in the specs. and they are advertising the recorder to play DTS. After I educated their Level 2 technician I was told that I had to send the recorder into Samsung to get repaired. The return period was 30 days for the vendor and I called the vendor 31 days after purchase. I requested that a new unit be shipped to me from Samsung, but was informed by Samsung that I had to pay to ship the defective unit to their repair facility and I would have to wait approximately 2 weeks to receive the repaired unit. It has been over two weeks and I have just been informed (by checking their web site)that the recorder is in the mail.

In summary I purchased a new recorder that did not work, did not receive a new replacement recorder as a result of this defective unit, had to pay shipping to get it repaired and had to wait over two weeks to have a DVD recorder.

I will never purchase another Samsung product after the experience I had with their "customer service".

1 out of 5 stars Stay away.......2007-12-08

Poor product from a poor company with the worst customer service I have encountered for anything I have ever purchased. I originally purchased the DVD-R135 which I returned after a couple months of use (would not record). They sent back the DVD-R after three months of waiting. This product stopped recording or reading disks after a couple times recording. We tried to contact customer service and was told that they would call us back during the week - of course nobody has called or emailed. We are trying to get the $64 labor fee waived, but can't get anyone to help. STAY AWAY!!!!

4 out of 5 stars Great recordings, easy to use, finicky about media.......2007-12-01

I replaced a Liteon 5001 recorder with this Samsung R160. Despite a quirky and rather small, oddly-shaped remote (it has an "anykey" that brings up submenus. Yes, it actually says "anykey" on it!) it performs well. The upconverting HDMI 1080i/p output works fine and the upconverter shows almost no video artifacts with fast motion content. I'm using DVD +RW discs to record content from my satellite receiver and then transferring content I want to keep onto write-once discs. I've tested Verbatim and Ritek media and the Sammy prefers Ritek.

below average product from below average brand with below average customer service. finalizing discs are sometimes a problem, is very fussy to brand of disc, and found that a lot of discs made on this recorder are not playable on most other dvd players. also, flexible recording time can only be used with timer. not so with panasonic, which i am very happy with.

4 out of 5 stars Good Product.......2007-10-27

Pleased with overall performance of DVD Player. Playback available in 1080P if desired or as low as 420P. Have not used the dvd writing function as of yet but am going to transfer old VHS to DVD very soon.

Remote is basic, however, unlike some other DVD Players out there, this model has all the browsing functions you need on the remote as well as on the face of the player.

HDMI out as well as any other connection you might need.

Once again, you cannot beat Amazon's prices. Smooth transaction!

    2 out of 5 stars Introduces network instability on Belkin pre-N router.......2007-12-11

    Even after I force it to a static IP address, this system produces instability on my Belkin pre-N router network. However, I turn it on for 5 min per week to back everything up using Retrospect and things do work. This is not as easy as it should be...

    5 out of 5 stars Good unit for network backups (home office).......2007-11-14

    I set this up as a network drive for my parents who are not extremely computer savvy. The intention was to use this drive for backups (lots of photos, etc.). So far (3months) so good. It installed without any hassle, and I haven't had a 'support' call yet about it. Backups work as scheduled.

    Storage, 250GB Pro Gigabit Network

    This drive is perfect for Windows/Mac user SOHO users requiring a reliable turn-key backup solution (Linux archiving will require some tweaks). Short of loading the NAS console software, it is essentially plug and play. The form factor is ideal, fuctionally ergonomic,& whisper quiet operation. Once out of the box, I had my back up running in under 3 minutes. Buy it.

    4 out of 5 stars Ethernet Hard Drive Works as Advertised.......2007-07-21

    First off, the Buffalo LinkStation 250GB drive operates as advertised with a simple to follow hardware/software installation. The drive runs so quiet that you have to look at the green LEDs on the front panel to tell if it is on. This item would be near perfect hardware-wise, if it had a 'sleep' mode for powering down the disk drive and fan after the drive is not accessed within a user settable time. Unfortunately, the hard drive stays on forever (as other reviewers have noted). I didn't bother installing MEMEO. Why spend time learning and setting up software that will stop working after the trial period is up? MEMEO may be fine, but I don't like products marketed that way. The utility program included by Buffalo is called 'HDBackup' and performs the basic job of letting you select folders on network connected devices and copying their contents to the LinkStation at a user set time interval (like every Friday at 4pm). Adding source folders to copy is slow work, but only needs to be done when setting the HDBackup software up.
