" ... The menus do not function well. ... "
" ... Simply going to a sub station like 2.2, they don't have a dot or point key. ... All you can do is go to channel 2 then use your channel up key to get to 2.2. ... Menus are too bright and fuzzy. ... "
" ... first select the top or oldest recording then press play then Ok then stop then scroll down to the next one. ... first pause then FF then Pause and then play. ... In order to save a deleted selection must click on Menu not the obvious OK button. ... "
" ... Only issue is sometimes when I turn it on, the sound is muted and I have to turn channel to get sound to come back. ... "
" ... The remote doesn't respond well, have to keep pushing buttons and finally will respond. ... "
" ... The only issues I have are that some of the controls could be easier to find like the "Back" button. ... Florescent buttons would be worth the added expense. ... "
" ... Also when trying to program the channel names and groups it kept re-assigning them so I never could figure out what I had done. ... "

Once I figured out how to set the unit up to record future scheduled programming (the instruction manual is little to no help as to how to actually set up and use the recording function), when I attempted multiple times to play back what I had recorded, the unit would completely lock up and I had to unplug it and plug it back in to reset it before it regained any functionality. ...
