Philips DVDR75 Progressive-Scan DVD Player/Recorder
Awesome!
I've owned this recorder for over a year now. It has worked perfectly for every recording I've done (over 175 so far)   I could not recommend a better performer for anyone. Connections are \\"no non-sense\\" for anyone familiar with audio/video connections. The menu is something to get used to though if your not used to digital recording. Once practiced however...no problem whatsoever.  The one thing that stumped me (on the remote) was that the fast forward or rewind button has to be pressed for 2 seconds to actually rewind or ff regularly - otherwise it goes to the next or previous chapter. Most remotes have seperate buttons for these features. This is one flaw I would recommend philips to change!  This recorder has given me 0 problems. I read many reviews proclaiming problems - and I admit I was worried at first. But those worries diminished after 100+ successfull recordings. One recording after another this is a recording champion in my opinion. Disc recording options are 1 (HDTV*quality*) 2 (DVD) 2X (Near DVD) 3 (SVHS) 4 (VHS) 6 (VHS-EP) One thing I noticed is that when you choose a recording length it shows the quality-of-picture even before recording is optioned. Nice!  I've always trusted Philips for disc recording. I have a Philips CDR-200 CD recorder that I bought over 5 years ago that still works flawlessly even after 400 hundred discs recorded.   Philips is a true pioneer of disc recording and is (in my opinion) one of the most trusted names in the field.
