Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The Zenith DVR313 DVD recorder relegates the household VCR to paperweight status, as it not only plays DVDs, CDs, and MP3s, but also records TV programs onto DVD-R/RW discs for high-quality long-term enjoyment. The DVR313 employs progressive-scan technology to deliver a superior picture for both playback and recording. Progressive scanning processes video data at a full 480 lines of horizontal resolution per frame, resulting in crisper, clearer images. The recorder/player also resizes video and computer images to 16:9 widescreen or 4:3 conventional formats to correct for varying motion-picture ratios.

The DVR313 is equipped to meet modern home theater demands, with the ability to record in 5.1-channel Dolby Digital sound for a theaterlike atmosphere. The six distinct audio channels deliver an unmatched surround-sound experience when combined with a compatible surround receiver and speakers. The unit also offers built-in DTS decoding, in addition to MP3 decoding for music downloaded from the home PC. The recorder is compatible with DVD, DVD-R/RW, CD, and CD-R/RW discs.

In addition to its more sophisticated features, the DVR313 also includes a host of essential DVD functions, including variable high-speed scan (up to 100x speed) programmable play, search, bookmarks, repeat play, and slow-motion frame advance. The DVR313 connects with other components through its optical and coaxial digital audio outputs, S-video output, and component-video output, the latter of which delivers the highest-quality picture by separating the video data into three distinct signals before sending it to the TV. The unit comes with a remote control and two AAA batteries.

What's in the Box

5.0 out of 5 stars SO FAR VERY HAPPY, February 10, 2004

By 

MICHAEL SMITH - See all my reviews

This review is from: Zenith DVR313 Progressive-Scan DVD Recorder/Player (Silver) (Electronics)

I PURCHASED THIS MACHINE TWO WEEKS PRIOR TO WRITING THIS REVIEW AND SO FAR I AM VERY HAPPY. I WANTED TO BE ABLE TO RECORD MY OLD VHS TO DVD AND IT WORKED VERY WELL. I ALSO RECORDED FROM MY DIRECT TV AND THAT CAME OUT GREAT AND ALL THIS WAS DONE RECORDING IN THE LOW QAULITY FORMAT (6 HOURS). I WOULD HAVE LIKED TO BEEN ABLE TO RECORD IN 5.1 BUT SO FAR HAVE NOT FOUND A MACHINE THAT CAN DO THAT. I DIDN'T SEEM TO FIND ANY PROBLEMS THAT OTHER RECORDERS SEEM TO HAVE, WHEN I SHOPPED THE INTERNET FOR A RECORDER. THIS ALSO HAS AN I-LINK CONNECTION FOR CAMCORDERS THAT IS NOT MENTIONED IN ANY SPEC SHEETS (ITS ON THE FRONT OF THE MACHINE BEHIND A FLIP DOWN COVER, ALONG WITH ANOTHER SET OF INPUTS) BUT HAVE NOT TRIED THAT OUT YET.

5.0 out of 5 stars great recorder, February 18, 2004

MICHAEL SMITH - See all my reviews

This review is from: Zenith DVR313 Progressive-Scan DVD Recorder/Player (Silver) (Electronics)

I have been very pleased with the way this recorder works, everything is one touch and the recordings come out fine. I have recorded vhs and my digital satelite and at 4 hour recordings.
The only thing I would have liked was a second set of inputs in the back instead of in the front. So far nobody mentions the i-link conection for your video camera, it has one in the front, behind a cover.

1.0 out of 5 stars Does not work, July 7, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Zenith DVR313 Progressive-Scan DVD Recorder/Player (Silver) (Electronics)

The two dudes must be paid reviewers, because I've tried three of these and none worked well. Wasted a few disks and the ones I did burn could not play on my Apex player. This is still new technology so go with something more mature.
