Magnavox MDR515H/F7 500GB HDD & DVD Recorder fully tested & SATA/USB HD adapter

Description

This listing includes the recorder, remote, and a bonus USB 3.0 to SATA III Hard Drive Adapter that I used with IsoBuster PRO (not included) to pull recordings off the hard drive onto my Windows computer. This unit was purchased 10 years ago as refurbished. Both HDD and DVD recordings were tested and work well (see images for verification, monitor not included). One note about the remote: the OK button needs to be pressed hard to work, but all buttons appear to work normally. If this is a major concern, I have successfully used a universal remote from Phillips Magnavox to control this DVR (also not included). I swear I have the manual somewhere, but can't find it at time of listing, so I will say the manual is not included. If I find it after the sale, I will make arrangements to ship it to the winner, if possible.

The
Magnavox MDR515H/F7 HDD & DVD Player / Recorder With Digital Tuner
is a versatile DVD player and recorder with a built-in ATSC/NTSC tuner. With the 500 GB hard disk drive (HDD), you'll be able to play content from the hard drive, a DVD or CD, and also record onto the hard drive or a DVD and edit the content later.
With the MDR515H/F7, you could record a TV show to the hard drive, keep it there and delete commercials with the editing features, then save it to a DVD or simply keep it on the hard drive. It records up to 620 hours of programming (in SLP mode), and you can simply erase content when you're done with it. It also has one-touch recording (OTR) and 1-button dubbing, and while you're watching television programming you can simultaneously record additional content.
This recorder features HDMI 1080p upconversion, meaning you can enjoy crisp, clear picture quality if you also have an HDMI-enabled display. Since it is progressively scanned, this allows for a smoother picture quality than interlaced scan methods. And if you have MP3 files and JPEG photos saved to a CD or DVD disc, you can enjoy those too. Simply pop in the disc and you can hear your favorite music, or see your personal photos displayed on your TV screen in stunning high definition.
With the included fully functional remote control, adjustments can easily be made from the couch. You can even set a parental control lock if you have young kids to control playback of certain DVDs that might be inappropriate for them. For a DVD recorder with a generous amount of recording space and integrated tuner for hours upon hours of entertainment, consider adding the MDR-513H/F7 to your home entertainment system.

Unlike conventional interlace scanning, the progressive scan system provides less flickering and images in higher resolution than that of traditional television signals

Every time you turn on the unit, it automatically records the channel currently being viewed and temporarily stores the recorded content to the hard drive. This way you can pause or go back to the TV program you're watching or start recording the whole TV program even at the middle

Parental Lock Control
If you have young kids, you might find the DVD playback parental lock control useful to prevent children from watching inappropriate material
