Review: I have had this Philips DVDR80 DVD recorder for only 24 hours and am very pleased. Picture quality is no problem, even at M6 for home recording/watching purposes. Very extensive instruction manual and, yes it is needed! Recorded DVDs will play on our Sony and Cyberhome DVD players. The GuidePlus system is very extensive and there is also the ability to use VideoPlus as well. I had no problems hooking up to a five year old Pace sky digibox and have not had any problems with the GuidePlus working, as others seem to have done. The remote control is not the best I've ever used, but otherwise the machine is well equipped and the red lights leave others in no doubt that the machine is recording! Box hooked up to ITV at 2pm, presumably to update the GuidePlus. This needs to be at night, but I'm sure Philips will help me on that one. Hooked up through an Ixos XHT 611 scart through the RGB output for a very fine picture indeed! I am also able to transfer all my DV camcorder footage of the kids, when they were just that!! Highly recommendable DVD Recorder, for anyone a little worried about stepping into a three format market. |
