Performance

 

Pioneer's DVR-233-S, an entry-level standalone DVD recorder, performed well in our image-quality tests, delivering the expected resolution and image quality at various recording speeds.

Solid recording quality; easy-to-use remote and onscreen menus; 30-second commercial skip.

No front-panel FireWire or S-Video inputs; poor DVD-RW editing options in video mode; no MP3 or JPEG playback.

While delivering a good user interface and slick design, this entry-level recorder falls a couple features short of the competition.
