Not reliable

Advantages: Plethora of features and readable formats
Disadvantages: VCR always broke.

Now before you read this I would like it to be known I sold these refurbished and this review is based on that. I cannot pinpoint my disdain for these and I do not know if the brand new ones had the same problems but I hated these and wanted them all to be burnt in a fire. Yes it has both a vcr and dvd player in one, which really is only good for space saving and having only one remote, I hate integrated systems if part of it breaks you have lost ...
...had a crapload of features, it was progressive scan, it played divX, mpegs, mp3's, Wma's all burnt dvd formats the - and +'s and it had auto and manual tracking for the vcr, it also had a built in rf modulator so if you had a tv that only had coax it would still play the dvd downgrading it to analog. However all 200 units we had had a faulty vcr, it would not track no matter what, it ate tapes and it really did not ever want to release tapes without ...

Review of Philips DVP3350

Plays any disc

Advantages: With multi-region feature
Disadvantages: None

Philips DVP3310 When my old DVD player died, I wanted an immediate replacement for it since there are DVDs that I really love to watch over and over like Titanic, Somewhere in Time and Face-Off. My toddler also loves to watch ‘Tom and Jerry Show’ almost every morning. I’m not really that keen on DVD player’s technicalities so I really didn’t know what to look for in a DVD player. I was just used to plug, play and watch on my old DVD player. ...
...former player. Somebody told me that I needed to get a multi-region DVD player that plays all kinds of discs. I started my internet search on a multi-region DVD player and I ended up ordering Phillips DVP3310 and paid £45 for it. The delivery was quick. I ordered it Monday and it arrived Thursday morning. In the box *Phillips DVP3310 DVD player *2 x AAA Batteries *Remote Control *Warranty Leaflet *User Manual First try The first time ...

Review of Philips DVP3310

Upscaling DVD recorder for the price of a player

Advantages: Features, Connectivity, Media and Video formats the envy of other DVD recorders.
Disadvantages: No more live TV for me! I'm re-watching my recordings upscaled

...sterling service I retired my Philips DVDR70 DVD recorder for a newer model. As I had recently updated my TV to a HD-Ready 1080i LCD panel I thought I would opt for one that offered both video-upscaling to 1080i and HDMI connectivity. I chose to look among those models of DVD recorder manufactured by Philips, after all they did invent the CD/DVD technology upon which all players and recorders are based together with my great experience living with ...
...not only offered a built-in Freeview tuner but also one for analogue TV reception, until the analogue "switch-off" looming in the upcoming years, making recording both analogue and digital TV so simple. The Freeview has a full 5-day EPG for you to review the upcoming digital schedule as well as program the recorder direct from the programme listings allows the recorder to oversee all the channel switching and timers. Unfortunately, they still have ...

Philips DVP 3120 - nice little DVD player

Advantages: Fair price
Disadvantages: Sound is ok - but not brilliant

Review of Philips DVP 3120

For the price, it has to be considered a must!

Advantages: looks good, plays everything, cheap
Disadvantages: Remote Could Be Better

I have had this DVD player for about a year now and, overall, I have to say that I am very pleased with it. Firstly with regards to its looks, it looks good! It is a silver unit with a black front and a red standby button on the bottom left of the player. The buttons on the front are very basic: it only has 5 button, a USB port and the tray. On the back, you get the usual connections that are expected including, obviously, an HDMI port. The actual ...
...enough to fit through a letter box) With regards to the actual player, the main reason I bought it was for its playback capabilities. It plays everything! As far as I've found, there is nothing that it has had trouble with and there are no issues with colours or syncing problems. I mainly play divx's and these work a treat. The DVD player also upscales with is supposed to be quite a good feature. Personally, I cannot tell the difference between ...
