Being somewhat of a DVD player fanatic, I manage to get through them like a teenager gets through phones.

The DVDR610, on first looks, does come across incredible sleek, stylish, and modern. The specifications of being able to write to DVD, DVD-RW, and having a nifty little remote control, as well as an 8 hour recording time seemed very well thought out by philips.

Not all was as it seemed however.

The timer/clock, seemed to have a mind of its own and would randomly skip half an hour every day, after consulting the handbook (an appalling thing at that), i found no solution to this and tried to contact Philips...nothing further.

If you happened to be watching TV and recording at the same time, the recorder would switch off should you sometimes use the TV remote - less than handy.

The general playback quality of DVD's was good, with no skipping, and the supplied surround sound to my speakers was of good quality. I cannot, however recommend the remote as a means of control..either the buttons did not do their respective jobs, or did not work at all.

Overall, its not a good dvd player for the price you will pay for it, for another £60 or so more you could get a much more respected, more efficient model.

5/10

P.S. I no longer have this model
