Philips DVDR75 Progressive-Scan DVD Player/Recorder
A Good, Solid Recorder
This is my second DVD recorder (the first was a Cyberhome).Many people complain about the Icon system and settings layout on this unit for being hard to understand and confusing. This is true to a point, however, after using it a few times it comes easy (it isnt THAT bad). Do keep in mind however, that DVD recorders are a bit more complex than a VCR. There are many more setting adjustments that you can make. This alone makes ANY DVD recorder a bit harder (at first) to understand \\"right out of the box\\". As far as quality recordings, this unit does a great job, even at lower speeds, from cable or from a vcr. The Firewire input is a nice touch if you have a digital camcorder.
