Expert review by (gadgetheaven.co.uk)
If you do not have an HDTV you can still enjoy this DVD player using the component video or SCART outputs. This will allow you to view all of the various compatible media types on virtually any television, but leaves you free to make the upgrade to HD...
Expert review by (gadgetheaven.co.uk)
It has an HDMI interface so it will plug straight into the back of your HDTV and allow for digital sound and images to stream with clarity to the display. All of the standard HD resolutions, including full HD 1080p, are supported.

Very easy to set up and use
Would have been better if it could be made smaller and more compact
Consumer review (reevoo.com)
No need for finalising DVD-RW discs; it finalises them automatically after each recording.
Does not display the time when the unit is turned on.

Consumer review (reevoo.com)
Great for playing DVDs
Came with a dent. Does not work well when recording programs. When watching a recorded program, it becomes pixely and stops playing.
Consumer review (reevoo.com)
It takes forever for the door to open so that you can insert a DVD, and also the sound when you are watching a film goes up and down all the time. We are considering returning the product.

Not as easy to use as the last Philips DVD recorder I had

Takes every disk format I can throw at it. Easy setup and excellent price
Remote control is a bit naff
