hello. just wondered had anyone any experience of this. i purchased a targa hdd/dvd recorder in the last few days from lidl. the model no is drh-5200x. seems to be working fine. the only thing is that there is a slight smell in the room from it. not a smell of burning as such but like they left some oil or something on some bit of it that heats up. know there is a fan in the back of it to keep it cool. wonder if it is down to it being new?. saw on the forums that some people had bought some last year. any info greatly appreciated. wife would NOT be happy if house burns down!

I wouldn't take a chance, just take it back and ask for an exchange.

It is probably just the new components , they often smell funny due to the manufacturing processes involved , etc

I would monitor it and check how warm it gets for a few days or so.
