Packaging & Interior Look

The retail package that arrived in our labs contained the unit, a remote control with two AAA batteries, and an AV cable.

On the unit's front panel, from left to right one can see the power button, along with two other buttons - "DISC HISTORY" and "DISC NAVIGATION" - that control DVD playback and recording. Right below these there is a small panel that when opened, reveals three AV RCA connectors. Continuing towards the right we can see the eject button, and several more buttons that control DVD playback and recording. Finally, we can see an IEEE1394 connector, that can be used for connecting a DV camcorder and transferring videos to the DVR-320.

The pictures below are taken from the interior of the DVR-320, after removing the cover. This action is not recommended, since it voids the manufacturer's warranty. (Click on images for full size views)

On the back there are the DVR-320's audio/video connectors.We can find a multitude of connections there. Starting from left to right we can see: VHF/UHF in/out (for the TV signal), Audio L/R out, Composite & S-Video Out, 1 Scart output for connecting TV, 1 Scart input, Optical Digital output.

The package also includes a remote control. While a bit large in size, it offers complete control over the DVR-320, and then some more. Properly programmed by following the instructions found in the manual, this remote control can control not only the DVR-320, but your TV as well. Speaking of the manual, the package comes with a 70 page manual that explains in detail and with simplicity all the DVR-320's operations.
