5.0 out of 5 stars video system component, March 25, 2008

This is a good box. It replaces a separate DVD player and vhs player,

and can record dvd as well. It has a built-in digital tuner, and up-

converts whatever it plays to the resolution of the tv. It has a digital

output (HDMI) to go the tv.

In my application, I use the tuner on the house antenna to get "free-from-air" digital broadcasts, while the cable input goes

directly to the tv. I didn't realize how important the upconverting

feature was until I saw it - it makes old media look .. better.

In my copious spare time, I hope to convert vhs tapes I want to

save to dvd - this box can do that offline, and unattended.

good value for the money.

I was having problems coping from tape to DVD, the DVD would only play on their machine. I tried everything burned about 7 DVD's before I decide to call tech support which was very good. It turned out you can only use either Maxell or Philips DVD's. i when out purchase Maxell's and have no problems. Other then that the machine is great.

This was my second purchase of a combo recorder - it should have been my first! In late 2005 I bought an LG LRY-517 DVDR/VCR. The biggest mistake of my life! The LG had constant problems with both DVD and VHS playback. I thought this might be a universal problem with combos but, out of desparation and frustration with the LG, I bought this Philips combo. What a solid, reliable machine. My only complaint might be with the editting program. No big deal. As far as recording, dubbing VHS to DVD, and playback the Philips functions flawlessly. I might just buy another one...and throw the LG away!
