Picture quality - 02 Apr 2008

I bought this DVD player but took it back as the picture quality stored on it was poor! I found the instructions difficult to understand and I was very disappointed in not being able to tune my digital tv into it!

Ill get straight to the point, this is an AWFUL bit of kit, its painfully slow, records only when it feels like it and even then if it does record what you want it may just decide to randomly delete it at any time. Its also quite prone to freezing if you ask something complicated like changing channel to quickly. Oh and finally the picture quality is honestly so poor i don't know how it passed quality control!!

This does not have an electronic programme guide but does have videoplus. Picture quality off the hard disc or DVD is very good. It plays DIVX movies very well. The remote has some small buttons but responds well. Recordings off the timer are fine but it takes a while to boot up.
The disply when watching live TV has a mind of its own, sometimes displays channel name, somtimes date or programme name. In other modes it works as you expect. Mine froze twice,the red record light staying on after a timer recording, unplugging fixed it.
I've not tried tranfer to DVD but it plays recordings on DVDR & DVDRW well. Overall I'm well satisfied

I previously had a liteon dvd recorder but the timer packed up so started searching for a replacement with more features. decided after reading loads and loads of reviews of various makes and models to go for this phillips unit. I certainly made the right decision, what a fabulous piece of kit. Very versatile, plays divx seemlessly from hdd, usb or dvd and you can transfer the file between any of the formats.picture quality is excellent, set up and use very easy, not crashed at all as mentioned in prevoius review and the response from the remote seems very normal not slow at all. money well spent and you would be hard pressed to find a better unit for the price.

I purchased the Philips DVD HDD recorder to perform the following functions:
1. Archive my VHS tapes to DVD
2. Make it easier to get footage from my mini DV camcorder to DVD
3. Record programmes to HDD to watch later
4. Use my USB key to watch divx movies
5. Use the EPG to record programmes that I would otherwise miss - enabling me to watch TV when I want to!
It is point number 5 that was the most crucial for me. A device similar to SKYplus but with the added benefit of DVD recording and DIVX support seemed too good to be true.
Sad to say then that their is no mention of the EPG function in the user manual or indeed the cover of the box. Every retailer including Currys and Amazon have listed the EPG function as one of the key features of this recorder. Having upgraded the firmware and tried all the buttons with no success I have now sent an email to Philips asking them to clarify the matter.
The other functions perform as they should although I've not tried all of them yet - The interface is friendly albeit a little slow. The device looks stunning. It's remarkable being able to pause and rewind Live TV. Their is no fan noise (or none that I can hear) and the unit hasn't yet crashed!.
Unfortunately though I think I will be returning this because it is lacking the EPG (something which was a major consideration for me when I made the purchase).
I will provide details of the answer from Philips when I receive their email!
