Full review
After owning a dvd/vhs player for about 4 years and the dvd player finally deciding not to work at all, after a period of it sometimes playing dvds and sometimes not depending on the mood it was in, it was decided it was time to get a new one. As we now don't own as many films on vhs after replacing them one by one to dvd it was also decided that there would no need for another combi player and just a dvd player would suffice. However it was after much decision making we decided that a dvd player and recorder would be better so we had a look at ones available and chose to purchase the Philips DVDR3480.

The player in terms of style is very sleek - it has a black finish on the cover wih the dvd slot on the left hand side and the display bit next to this. On the far right hand side is a small flap that covers the ports for the usb, audio and the connections for the scart to connect to a games console or camcorder. To install is very simple with a quick set up guide supplied in the box - the only thing is you'll need an extra scart lead if connecting to a cable box as well as a TV. A remote is included in the box along with batteries which makes a nice change as not every electrical items seem to have these included lately! The remote is also easy to use with simple buttons that state the use rather than tiny little pictures to guess what they are for.

The dvd recorder can obviously record dvds and also plays wide range of different formats of recorded dvds. The full features is listed below:

Plays CD, (S)VCD, DVD, DVD+R/RW, DVD-R/RW, DVD+R DL

Plays DivX, MP3, WMA and JPEG digital camera photos which can either be directly from a USB connection or from a recorded cd

Dual Media records on DVD+R/RW, DVD+R DL, DVD-R/RW
Multi-format playability allows you to play most file formats for maximum listening and viewing pleasure, including MP3, WMA, JPEG and the popular DivX digital media format. DivX playback enables you to play and share compressed high quality DivX video content beyond
your computer.

DivX Ultra Certified for enhanced playback of DivX videos

DivX Ultra combines DivX playback with great features like integrated subtitles, multiple audio languages, multiple tracks and menus into one convenient file format.

Record up to 12 hours on double-layer discs

i.LINK digital input for perfect digital camcorder copies

USB Direct plays photos and music from USB flash drives

Philips DVD Recorders support 'dual media'™ recording - the ability to create recordings on DVD+R/RW, DVD-R/RW and DVD+R DL discs. Now you can buy any disc and the Philips 'recorder will always create fully compatible recordings, which can be played by any DVD player.

We haven't had the chance to try out such things as connecting a camcorder to check the quality of this feature but have used the USB port to view pictures taken on a digital camera and this feature is very good. The pictures load almost immediately and it is just a case of selecting which pictures you want to view.
The dvd recorder is great with excellent picture quality. The only downside for us is that if recording a program from the cable channels we cannot change the channel it is on. This may be due to the way we have set it up though but, we couldn't find any other way of doing it. However for us it's not really a big problem as we tend to mainly use the record function if going out so not something that is a major issue.
The player itself is absolutely brilliant. The picture is excellent and we can really tell the difference from our old player. The images are so much sharper on it and the sound is also excellent.

Overall this is a good choice for those looking for a multi feature dvd recorder and player. It has enough to keep everyone happy and the cost is decent too. The whole player is very easy to use with simple to follow instructions if you do get stuck.

We paid £99 for our player but his is slightly higher than what you can get on the high street as we ordered our player from the catalogue.

A nice easy DVD recorder and a little bit more..
Review of Philips DVD-R 3480 by runetune

Advantages: Excellent choice of formats to record and play from.
Disadvantages: Some slight niggles, but nothing serious..

...got camera working! ~ Philips 3480 DVD Recorder ~ We already have a Philips DVDR70 recorder which I have reviewed. It was the great service we've had from this machine that helped me decide on buying this latest DVD recorder. Our other Philips Recorder is still going and is still being used, but we wanted a couple of other options from our player, and are also very aware that the present recorder was now around 4/5 years old! So we thought it ...
...I've said, having got a Philips DVD recorder that is now around 4/5 years old and still going strong, it made the choice even easier for us. ~ What does it do then? ~ Well, playback is fairly standard for most machines but with the added bonus of DivX as mentioned. So to list it properly: It plays - DVD's, DVD+R or RW, DVD-R or RW, DVD+R DL (Dual Layer), CD and SVCD. The multi-format ability also allows you to play most file formats that hold media ...

Philips - Easy Peasy!
Review of Philips DVD-R 3480 by AndyGray2k7

Advantages: Excellent Playback Quality, Recording and Easy!
Disadvantages: Zoom doesn't go away with the clear button, a little expensive

...was origionally looking for a Philips DVD Player but decided "why not get a recorder instead to replace the old VCR?", so i set off to the shops, went in ASDA and seen this stylish little machine on the shelf, picked it up and went to the till to purchase it! It only cost £98 ;-) ::::SETTING IT UP:::: The Words "Easy Peasy" comes to mind when setting up this Recorder/Player. The manual isn't at all confusing (although it doesn't state how long ...
...you can ring Philips if you really want to find out!). Switch off all your equitment, choose a connection mehthod (i went for Scart from Sky Box into The Recorder and then from Recorder to TV), then set it up using the on screen instructions and wooolah! Your Done! Ready to watch DVD's and Record. ::::CONNECTIONS:::: It has 2 Scart Sockets (For connecting to the device you'll be recording from and into the TV), component and other connections ...

Phillips DVD Player - Brilliant
Review of Philips DVD-R 3480 by chrisattrill

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! Get buying ... Read review

Not impressed
Review of Philips DVD-R 3480 by ecinreb13

Advantages: good picture quality
Disadvantages: buggy, unresponsive, interferes with terrestrial picture

...stops recording after 30 minutes (or whatever). I suspect this is connected to it trying to fit with previously recorded spaces., but whatever the reason it's annoying and wastes time (mine and the disc's). Not impressed and just contacted Philips about my disatisfaction with the item. Hope this helps. ... Read review
