    Advantages Advantages Solid construction / easy to use

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Lack of firewire conection

    I got this machine for christmas 2003 and have been very pleased with it so far. It has many features and I will try to go through some of the ones that I have found useful together with a general overview of the product. Firstly it is taller than many of the current units on the market. This I have already found to be an advantage as it has allowed a large LED screen to be included which with my failing eyesight make things a little easier to see. The screen is located centrally on the front of the unit. This large size I believe to have another advantage as it allows for better air ... more

    Advantages Advantages ease of use/setup

    Disadvantages Disadvantages stuck to the dvd+ format

    On purchasing Philips DVDR880 recorder (dvd+rw format)everything was fine for first few months(infact under used) and then for no apparent reason would get 'DISC ERROR' messages on loading some shop brought dvd films. All available methods to remedy were tried (ie lense cleaner etc)and Philips contacted as a last resort! Only help offered so far by them was to upgrade firmware in player and see how it went on! Still problem persisted and Philips are investigating! needless to say i brought this product a year and a half ago and Philips discontiuned it a year after it went on sale speaks highly ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Random access to all recordings and scene selection very handy

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Slow initial reading of dvd movies before displaying the menu for selection

    One of my best digital equipment buys,does everything that has been described in terms of facilities i.e.random access to recordings,ffwd and rwd feature,scene fwd and rwd,scene selection and all the other facilities listed.With the dvdr880 I have not only replaced my vcr, but my cd player too.However the one main setback is the reading time which seems to be quite long in the case of dvd movies,(must be something to do with the dvd rather than the player) which can be a little bit daunting for the ones with less patience at that stage.When investing in this piece of equipment get yourself a ... more
