The DVD works light brand new, It would have been nice to have a remote to go with it. I like the fact that it has a TV tuner within the recorder.

This Phillips DVD recorder will not record on most cable TV channels...I kept getting an error message stating that "this program is un-recordable"...I tried using several different re-writable brands of DVD-RW's and DVD+RW's all with the same negative results. I have several other DVD recorders and all of them are able to record on every channel in my channel line-up. I previously had a Phillips DVD recorder that had the same identical problem. I would not recommend Phillips DVD recorders to anyone.

The machine is very good for the price vs other new and more elaborate functions. But for what it does which is record timed programs onto DVD it is great. The remote is a little hard to read given the small buttons and I need reading glasses. I would have wanted the software to be a little more user friendly. Panasonic has a much more friendly interface. The disc edit function especially. I would like to be able to set the record time on disc to 4 hours rather than a predetermined 2 hours some engineer decided that would be good. There is no option unless you do timer record and make it record at a lesser quality. Overall a Good rating for the price, I just hope it lasts longer than my panasonic did.
Since I have only used this DVD recorder to play DVDs up until this point, I can't really write a full review. What I have noticed is that it plays recorded programs on discs which are not finalized (my previous DVD recorder - Panasonic DMR-EZ28 - broke and I would no longer even read discs). The only concern I have is the humming noise that is present when the unit is on. Other than that, I would recommend this product. Hopefully I will be able to update this review as I use more of the unit's features.
Allright, Here is the Skinny, This thing works perfectly, it was cheaper than Phillips other model on ebay, but it played all the formats minus r plus r, etc.. This part about all these other reviews that people cant get the digital channels to come in is really ridiculous..you need to have the correct spliter at the front of you cable service another words 1 in and 5 out not a 1x3 then a 1x2 then a another spliter after another and then you put your digital phillips recorder on the last one it just doesnt work. you need the biggest spliter at the front and make sure you take the on for the phillips at the front or as one of the first connections otherwise you wont get a signal. I bought 2 of these, one for my upstairs projector and 1 for my downstairs projector, they work perfectly and I get all the channels, any questions look me up on ebay as Pipefittermike, ThanksRead full review
Aside from the manual being a little tough to follow (you need to jump from page to page for some of the basic task instructions), this is a fine alternative to a VCR. The lack of a COAX output for the "play" part of the device is a little "off-putting", but considering I have more cables than I know what to do with, it was easily overcome. I like the idea of never needing to replace recording media, as the DVD should be good for many more write cycles than any VCR tape ever made. As long as I only want to watch the DVD on this device, I shouldn't have to replace it for a very long time. Purchasing it on Ebay was a plus.
I bought it about 2 weeks ago to use for my recently purchased 40 inch monitor which doesn't have TV Tuner. It works perfect and easy to install. Also, its accessibility is also good so I'm not failing to use it without manual. Easy to use. I haven't the function to record the TV using DVDRW, but I believe it would work great. Thanks for the good item and hope you flourish in your business.
I bought this dvd recorder because my father bought himself a 42 inch plasma. The DVD has an upconversion to 1080p and because of this HD-DVD vs Blu-ray format war it's a good alternative to hi-def dvd watching. My father has a large dvd library and the dvd recorder goes great with his home receiver and it takes all region dvd as well. The only minus I can think of is it doesn't have a digital optical output. All and all it's a great buy.

Records a great picture, but slow at changing TV channels. Because of that, I would give it a 90%.
