RE: Best Budget DVD Recorder - Liteon or Yamada - Please help !

I can only say as I have found!
The only system of DVD recorder with error correction is the RAM system but it was too expensive at the time I bought so I bought the +RW system and for a while had few problems the odd disc gave error readings but I put that down to cheap discs by varying the write times I found I could use the discs untill I came to about the 10th or 12th re-write on all the more expencive discs then the dreaded "disc error" kept coming up which renders the disc unplayable. This becomes very annoying after losing the tale-end of the programme you wanted to watch I was having to use my old VCR on the most important recordings (like F1 or Top Gear).
I now have a new recorder that is the RAM system. It only cost 40% of what I paid originally but nobody told me about the error correction on the RAM system everybody slaited the +RW`s but didn`t give a good technical reason why it wasn`t as good

"You pays your money & you makes your choise"

If it was me I`d save a little more and buy something like the Panasonic 55E which use :) s the RAM system

RE: E55 and Ext Link problems

Possible cause is that the free view box being live (switched on instead of stand-by) is activating pin 8 (I think it`s pin 8) the function pin that tells other equipment to turn on. Try switching the STB to stand-by.
I presume you have a STB with timer facilities to control the E55 if not the Ext Link button should not be used.
