In addition you can play DIV-X movies through it. Recording ... ...recording if you want to exclude adverts. The great thing ive also found is that formatting the disc is easy and only takes less than a minute.

Also when recording multiple programmes to a disc and then erasing ... webtoolsclient1 23.04.2009 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: helpful Review of Philips DVDR 3380	Picture Playback Sound Level Ease of Use Range of Features Value for Money
Philips DVD Hard Drive Recorder DVDR3440H Advantages: DVD and Hard Driv e in one package Disadvantages: Copy protected software rejects certain TV programmes From the outset this appears to be a useful and reasonably priced unit. The DVD recorder works well, and the results are of good quality, but it is advisable to only use DVD+R discs, and the DVD+RW will not work in some other machines. The Hard Drive gives good quality, but suffers a serious disavantage. Certain programmes may be rejected due to Copy Protection software built into the unit. The problem here is that the user is not warned at the start ... ...impossible to stop the machine. The percentage of rejection may be small, but this feature renders the Hard Drive unreliable. Recording onto DVD from archive home videos is quite good, but it is best not to use a Scart, instead go in at front on Phono leads. When using Scart, the recorder is liable to go into pause mode if home recording is of poor quality. Whilst the unit seems to be of good quality, the isssue of Copy Protection should be made ...

Phillips DVD Player - Brilliant Advantages: Looks good, Loads of features Disadvantages: Expensive, Quite big I bought this product a few days ago and I thinks its brilliant. In terms of the looks its stylish, and sleek. Not only you can you watch DVD in HD but also you can pause live TV, record it on its 160 gig hard drive and store photos and videos. For the price I feel it was a little too much. I paid £140 at Sainsbury. But looing at sources you can get it for much less (£80 - £100) I would reconmend this product to anyone who likes whatching TV and ... ...a hifi. It is east to set up, just connect the two wires (included) to the back of the TV. Next you just follow the simple instructions to add channels. You can also add VCR players and also a Top Up Box. All of the things to make this product work is inclueded even the bays for the remote. So what are you waiting for!

Beyond the VCR Advantages: Guideplus; several recording modes; plays CDs and MP3s Disadvantages: Freezes occasionally; missed programme endings ...integrate as promised with my Philips Freeview box. However, I've learned to live without that. ** New info My final gripe is that this is supposed to be a multi-region DVD player, but so far I've not managed to get that to work.. Some players come pre-hacked, while with others you have to do it yourself. Mine is one of the latter, and I've not yet got around to doing a search for the relevant info. Since I had a multi-region player before ... ...it on sale now for as low as £150 from many online retailers. ** Summary In spite of my gripes, I've never regretted buying this recorder. Apart from the minor annoyances, the only useful addition would be a hard disk as well, and Philips has another model with this feature. ... rappinhood 20.07.2005 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Philips DVDR80	Picture Playback Sound Level Ease of Use Range of Features Value for Money
