HELPPPPP We have just bought a TRF 7160 and can't even turn it on. It refers in the instructions to 'switch ON using the switch on the back of the unit' but there is not switch. Helpppppppp we can't turn it on

@samsplatt No there isn't on my machine either. Just plug it in and press the silver button in the middle of the front panel. A hideously bright blue light should illuminate surrounding the said button and you will be on your way.

Thanks for the video, very well explained. How have you found this in every day use?. I'm looking at buying one for my parents, they want something simple

Hi, I find it really useful especially for setting the recordings, much easier to do with a proper keyboard. For downloading the recordings I use the FTP facility because it is much quicker. This model of Topfield is much better than the old ones for turning favourite programs into DVDs, no need to demux the .rec files, the .mpg files it produces can be edited directly. Pleased with the device but wish they had made a better remote control.
