Cons Rough manual, LED display is limited

I did my homework and decided on the D-R400 due to it's low price, clean appearance, and full features. I was disappointed at the first box store when told they were out of stock and not due to be replenished. The saleperson told me that the Toshiba D-R410 has replaced the 400, but is not as full...
