Perfect for professionals seeking versatile media recording with nostalgic charm.

## Description

This is a video recorder, a DVD recorder and a hard disc recorder all in one unit. There is a forty nine key remote control and once the unit is plugged in everything can be controlled from the remote apart from inserting/removing videos and DVD's. The front of the unit has a total of 17 buttons but all there controls are duplicated on the remote. The unit has a blue, a green and an orange light to tell you which mode you are in and these are repeated on the remote control to allow easy swapping between VCR, DVD and HDD. Setting a timer program is very easy - one touch on the remote - brings an easy to follow screen where single or multiple programs can be set, it also has a countdown figure in the corner to tell you how much space you have and this of course changes according to which of the various modes you are in. This has a sixty eight hour - in SP mode - hard disc the actual hard disc size is 160GB In the centre of the face of the unit is a 9x3 LCD display, when switched off this displays a very readable clock along with a red marker if any timed events are set. When recording it displays an six digit counter that in theory could allow a 99hour 59minute and 59second recording. This unit can record from an external Freeview, Cable or Skybox When a timed programme is five minutes from due it will turn the unit on and this also tunes to the AV channel - a slight annoyance - but you can quickly switch back to what you were watching. Several modes to increase the recording time are available, the normal SP or LP with video, DVD and HDD have a total of six modes so a DVD that would store around four hours on 'LP' could store anywhere between one hour and ten hours. The stated figures for the HDD range from 34 to 340. I found the SP 68 hours as good as a professional DVD.

Review: real find - The Funai HD-B2735 has proven to be a real find. Even on the 'SP' setting, the picture quality on my HDD and DVD-RW recordings has been excellent. If you don't want to spend too much money, and you don't mind having something that looks like a top-loading vcr (circa 1985) sitting under your tv, I'd really recommend it.
Review: Funai DVD recorder - Prompt delivery Good value for money. Instruction book can be a little confusing. Thr fan at the back of the unit is on constantly when the machine is on and can be a little irritating. Still have not gor the hang of which channel to go to on the TV to get the HDD without putting the unit off and then on again. Every time you turn the unit on it has to load up. All things considered for the price it has everything that I want and would recommend it.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Our MAc does not support to read DVD-RW. But how can we set to record to DVD-R?**
A: The question doesn't seem to be about the Funai recorder (my Funai is currently on its last legs and the remote is giving up the ghost and it stopped being able to record to DVD some time ago), but seems to be about a Mac computer. Since Macintosh introduced USB ports about 10 years ago, Macs have been able to cope with all sorts of external DVD USB players and recorders. As these are so relatively cheap (from c. £20), have a look at what is on offer on Amazon. If you have a Funai recorder and it is still working, consider yourself lucky: I don't think that they were built to last.

**Q: Does this machine have a digital tuner**
A: I'm personally using an external TV signal source so I wouldn't know. However, a quick research seems to suggest that this device doesn't have a digital tuner... (see: http://www.justanswer.com/electronics/555a6-funai-hdr-b2735d-compatable-digital-tv-when.html )

**Q: Does a remote come with the machine and can it record using VHS?**
A: It comes with a remote and records on VHS and DVD and will copy one to the other.  However it cannot receive digital transmissions so you will need a digital transformer to record live TV, and my machine lasted less than 12 months.

**Q: Can you dub between the 3.i.e. hdd/dvd/vcr?**
A: You could (the machine is now long gone) BUT if it discovered any Macrovision Copy Protection it would simply shut down with a copyright warning. This was present on most commercial DVDs and VHS pre-recorded tapes. It could only dub freely with home-recorded material.

### ⭐⭐⭐ Very Picky About Recordable DVDs, Fiddly Recording
*by H***T on 5 July 2008*

This machine is a great idea, but several niggles keep it from being what it should be. The set-up is automatic, but then leaves you to sort out the ordering of channels manually with the remote. I bought this to transfer ageing tapes to DVD and this is where the real problems come in. It won't accept many DVD-RWs (probably about half are rejected for no apparent reason, and I have been using the recommended Maxell ones). And then there is the Macromedia "function". If the machine detects a Macromedia copy-protect signal on a tape, it simply switches off the recording session, whether to HDD or to DVD. I suppose the implicit meaning is that I should buy a DVD of a videotape I already own. Recording from Freeview is much more fiddly than it should be, as the unit itself is a purely analogue one, rather than a digital one: it has to treat the Freeview box as a satellite box. I suspect I should have bought a DVD recorder on its own and linked it to my older video, rather than going for this all-in-one unit. It certainly would have been cheaper, and probably wouldn't be so fussy about the DVDs it will deign to record. My wife's Humax PVR runs rings around it for ease of use and for functions.
