I used this with a TV I'm also selling. (← The TV has been sold.) Perhaps because they were both Sharp products, when I put a DVD in this recorder, the TV would automatically turn on, which was very convenient. There were no particular problems. The B-CAS card, remote control, and power cord are included. The main unit is clean, perhaps because it was kept inside a TV cabinet with doors. The remote control was used frequently because it could also operate the TV with just this one, so it shows signs of use. The cover of the battery compartment on the back is missing. Please be aware of this. Number of simultaneously recordable programs: 2 programs
