Philips DVDR80 review: Philips DVDR80
Philips DVDR80
Guide Plus EPG; component-video input; excellent video processing; solid recording quality in long-play modes; slick styling; relatively painless operation.

DVD RECORDER WITH ON-SCREEN LISTINGS AND EASY TIMER SETTING.
A smart looking addition to Philips' range of disc recorders, the DVDR80 extends recording time to eight hours on a disc (at very basic quality) and improves the performance of other settings. It's easy to use and DVD+R/RW discs are compatible in most...
Excellent recording quality and connectivity ; easy to use ; controls digiboxes ; free GuidePlus TV schedules
