Review: Bought the Philips DVDR70 multi-region capable DVD recorder a couple of days ago, and within 10 minutes of switching it on, I was ready to record from my TV. The interface is easily learnt, and very useful, allowing selection of functions such as erase disc, naming programmes, and playing/recording of programmes. One slight gripe, concerning the terminology in the manual, concerning connection of scart cables for VCR to DVDR recording. I had to make notes to help me remember/decipher what to do. Apart from that, for the price this recorder is superb value. I recorded at mainly 2hr & 2.5hr levels, and I found the quality very, very good.Recording at 6hr level from tv is also quite good, but to me it is the quality and durabilty of the DVDR system, as a whole, that will preserve my VHS video collection for posterity! Great value for money, great bit of kit. Go and buy, you won't be disappointed. |
