Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I have the DR560 which is the older version of this one. I had some issues with the 560, but it worked okay and the picture quality was very good. So, I decided to get this newer version DR570. I reviewed the other recorder, so I am not going the repeat myself in this review because both recorders are almost exactly the same. Here are my complaints with this DR570. Both remotes are the same in that you cannot see what the buttons are because of the black remote and gray lettering. The picture quality is great, that is, when I can get it to work. I set up the recorder and the next day I noticed the time was off by over 6 hours. I tried to turn the unit on to set the clock again, but nothing happened. The recorder was locked up and would not turn on. I unplugged it for 10 minutes then plugged it back in and it worked. So, I reset the clock and then checked the channels. Then I pressed setup again to recheck the other settings and the recorder locked up again. Soooo, again I unplugged it for 10 minutes and plugged it back in and it worked. It seems that it does not hold the settings and I will have to keep unplugging it. The other recorder did the same thing, but only occasionally so it didn't bother me. However, I don't know just how often this new one is going to give me problems. Obviously, I cannot recommend this recorder.
