PURCHASING

Well known brands offer a greater level of service, documentation, downloads and support than lesser known brands.

When you go to buy:

• Test in store if you can. Use the media you will be normally using. (You can use this in demo mode for Video-SL)
• Ensure they have a returns policy
• Let the store know what you are buying it for. Make sure they sell you a machine suitable for what you are trying to do.
• We recommend you get an agreement with the store allowing you to return the machine if it turns out to not be compatible. Get this in writing from the salesperson or manager.
