I am now looking for the HD model for a different toy to play with and like I said if anybody out there in AfterDawn has a nice one or knows where I can purchase a NEW one PLEASE let me know.... Thanx for hearing me out ilo4me
You're lucky. I've had mine for a year and a half and now having problems. When I defrag, the machine locks up and then I lose about half of my recorded programs. It won't let me copy programs to DVD (DVD+R, RW various brands). Now my programs have a very noticablly loud hum in them. All of this has happened in the last few months. And yes I have done all of the hacks and firmware updates. You just must be lucky. I won't buy one of these or anything from this manufacturer again. Good luck finding yours!
Defrag a HDD in a DVD or PC is a rewrite of all files. Files are rewritten so as to place them in an orderly fashion so the HDD can access them faster with less wasted space. A HDD in DVD unit will also place the video files in any space avail. A Defrag will rearrange them. BUT all to often video files will be corrupted and result in a program glitch or loss. DO NOT Defrag a HDD Recorder An ilo RHD04 and the LiteOn 5045 are similar except for the 5045 All-write and larger HDD. Both units as to hack, are out of production If anyone wants a RHD04 or 5045 [To Hack] they will most likely have to bite the bullet and pay the price. I have two RHD04, two R04 units and a 5045 all units have worked very well. The major problem can be the DVD drive, But it can be replaced, Along with other issues Check these sites. http://www.techolio.com/forums/phpBB2/viewforum.php?f=7&sid=c57605768663a1bc3da540c0c74f72be http://www.normediasolutions.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=12 This is my opinion There is not a unit that will replace a 5045 or RHD04 for a specific purpose. There are units that are less of a use problem, but I feel that a great share of the problems are not understanding the machine and its operation, Operator Error is a major cause of problems [--- ilo4me--- ] When I read your post. While the RHD04 is a great machine, I would recommend getting a 5045, if found, Either way you might be faced with a troublesome DVD drive and need to replace it Edit [thronedad] -- posted on another thread that he might dump His RHD04 You might contact him/her.---- Sounds like it would be a good unit
