Some Nice Features, Some Not So Nice Features

bycomparator Apr 28, 2007
14 Helpfuls 15 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Excellent picture and sound.
Cons Slow channel changing, pedestrian feature set, keeps forgetting the channel pre-sets.
Recommended it? No

First, the positives. Picture and sound quality on playback are excellent. The remote has a toggle with a 30 second commercial skip at the top and "Rapid Play" at the bottom. You can hit the Skip up to 6 consecutive times in a row with a little counter in the lower left hand corner of the screen... Read full review »

A huge improvement

Pros excellent picture, improved interface, ATSC/NTSC/QAM tuners, working auto clock, price.
Cons No true HD or DD, slow tuning, poor channel management, weak remote.
Recommended it? No

This was the second DVD recorder from the new generation with ATSC tuners I tried - the first one was the LG DR787T. It was a close call, but at the end (and after trying the Samsung DVD-AR650 of course!) I decided to keep the LG.

The previous generations of Philips DVD recorders were... Read full review »

Good choice if you can live with the quirks

Pros Excellent picture quality, both in playback and recording.
Cons Quirky, slow, and buggy Gen 1 software.
Recommended it? No

Bought this on impulse after seeing that it had a built in ATSC tuner. It replaced a Cyberhome CH-300 on a 27-in conventional TV in my bedroom. The first thing you'll notice is that it is dead slow in loading and accessing content on DVD. Maybe this is the case with ALL DVD recorders, but since... Read full review »

Pros Excellent Picture Quality, Good tuner, Space Shuttle friendly
Cons Cheap feet, Weak GUI
Recommended it? No

After some bad experiences with other ATSC DVD Recorders, I decided to check them all out. This was one of them. See my other reviews.

The picture quality was pretty good. I found the Samsung DVD-AR650 to have the best picture. The Philips was #2 and #3 was the LG.

The turner... Read full review »

recording flaw

byscan999 Nov 10, 2007

Pros price
Cons you can not record in 16:9.
Recommended it? No

I bought this recorder to transfer images from my DVD cam to a standard DVD. I learned through countless hours that you can not record in 16:9. Even if you send the recorder a signal in 16:9 it will record in 4:3. Page 38 of the manual clearly states this flaw. Read full review »

Phillips is Best Picture Clarity on "CRT" TV

byrlieberum May 24, 2007
2 Helpfuls 3 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Outstanding OTA picture on "CRT" TV. 4.3Pan&Scan option for clear fullscreen...
Cons Slow channel changing. No DVD-RAM capability.
Recommended it? Yes

The Phillips DVDR3505/37 has the best "digital tuner" picture quality out of the two other DVD recorders that I have tested with "digital tuners" (Panasonic and Samsung). The Phillips DVDR3505 produces an amazingly clear OTA digital picture on my old 27 inch Sanyo analog "CRT" TV using an indoor... Read full review »
