## Overview

The Philips DVDR75 is a versatile DVD player/recorder that allows you to record directly from your TV, offering up to 6 hours of video recording per side. With advanced features like progressive-scan output for high-definition viewing and tools for easy editing, this device is perfect for preserving and enhancing your cherished memories.

## Description

.com          Capture, edit, and preserve precious memories with the Philips DVDR75 DVD player/recorder. Using the model's extensive inputs--including an i.Link digital video jack--you can transfer and assemble your most treasured camcorder footage, archive old video tapes, or burn video from a PC straight to high-capacity DVD (up to 6 hours per disc side using either DVD+R or DVD+RW). The unit's onboard Virtual Time Base Corrector ensures better-than-original copies from old video tapes. You can also use the DVDR75 like a VCR, burning televised programs directly to disc using helpful VCR Plus+ programming data. Recording functions include safe record, one-touch record (OTR), track append, track divide, track erase, automatic/manual chapter marker insertion, disc write protection, favorite scene selection, index picture screen for instant content overview, and Selectable Index Pictures. The DVDR75 is also a first-rate DVD player, featuring progressive-scan video outputs, Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel surround sound passthrough, MP3 CD playback (CD-R/CD-RW), and compatibility with most DVD media (including video-mode DVD-R and DVD-RW). Whether your living room is currently home to an HDTV or you're merely thinking of "someday," the DVDR75 stands ready to deliver the full potential of DVDs. Progressive scanning, referred to as 480p for the number of horizontal lines that compose the video image, creates a picture using twice the scan lines of a conventional DVD picture, giving you higher resolution and sharper images while eliminating nearly all motion artifacts. Top-of-the-line component-video inputs and outputs help minimize digital and line-scan artifacts on compatible advanced televisions, while composite- and S-video inputs and outputs bring compatibility with nearly any video component and television monitor. Audio inputs consist of two-channel analog jacks with 16-bit analog-to-digital conversion and Dolby Digital 2.0 audio compression (compression is non-defeatable). Two sets of left/right analog-audio outputs channel audio to Dolby Pro Logic receivers and stereo televisions. Both Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel surround-sound signals can be routed through the player's digital-audio outputs (one each of RCA coaxial and Toslink optical) for direct connection to a full-featured audio/video receiver. If you don't have a surround receiver or six-channel speaker setup, you can still make every movie night the ultimate experience: 3D Surround simulates surround sound through two speakers (even the stereo speakers on a TV).What's in the Box DVD recorder, remote control, batteries, user's manual (in English only), one blank DVD+RW disc, an AC power cord, a stereo audio interconnect, a composite-video cable, an S-video cable, and a coaxial RF antenna cable.             From the Manufacturer          Capture, edit, and preserve your precious memories with Philips DVDR75 Progressive Scan DVD Player/Recorder. Create a DVD from any source using the i.LINK digital connection. Transfer your most precious moments captured with your camcorder or archive all your old video tapes straight to DVD.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can the recording be edited?**
A: I've done a bit of linear like cutting commercials using pause and play but that's about it

**Q: does this recorder have a tuner ?**
A: I'm not sure but I have no issues recording from cable, or from a non-copywrited dvd, vhs or mini dv.  I've never tried recording direct from tv though because I have cable.  It will send up a big error message on copy protected cable shows or dvd's and won't record them.  Hope that helps.

**Q: Will this record from comcast? I am wanting to record movies that i taped with dvr on my xfinity box.**
A: You can record straight from TV so youd just need to set it up properly.

    DVDR75 - Facts and Fiction
  

*by D***N on Reviewed in the United States on November 24, 2003*

Ok, you probably read lots of other reviews by now, but here is a summary, of what you will get for your money. But first, keep two things in mind, when you read other 'low rating' reviews :1. This DVD Recorder is by far one of the less expensive ones - but what you get for your money is truly amazing.2. In electronics, there are always 'lemons', but with Amazon's great customer service, it is very easy to exchange a unit, that does not work properly.Ok, so here is what you get when you purchase this DVD recorder.- A DVD recorder that records on DVD+R and DVD+RW in amazing picture and sound quality. Depending on what quality level you choose, the picture is clearer than on a pre-recorded DVD or (on the lowest quality selection) as good as a VHS tape. The sound is truly amazing.- When you copy from DVC to your DVD recorder using the Firewire link, you might get some distortion when playing the recorded DVD on another player. But if you use S-Video and the highest quality setting (M1), then there is absolutely no difference between the original and the copy.- The reaction time of the DVD player is a bit slow, when you press a button. But once you get used to this, it really isn't a problem.- The DVD+RW discs do not need to be finalized in order to play them on another DVD player - this is a huge advantage over the DVD-RW format. In general, DVD+R and DVD+RW is much more likely to be compatible to other DVD players than DVD-R and DVD-RW. DVD-ROM is really not a DVD format and is hardly ever compatible to another DVD player.- Even this DVD recorder does not have a hard disk, it is still cheaper, to buy this unit together with Tivo (the total will be about $ 600.--) than another DVD recorder with a hard drive. This way, you will get all the Tivo benefits and copying from Tivo to this unit is a breeze !- Operating this unit is extremely simple and it is very easy to organize your DVDs (titles, index pictures, chapters etc.).- The DVD player is excellent and supports the most recent sound systems. The picture quality is truly outstanding.My verdict - buy this unit ! It's a fact, that in 2 years from now, it will be as 'outdated' as the more expensive recorders that are out now - but for the price, you really get your moneys worth ! And the DVD+R and DVD+RW discs that you record on this machine will still be 'top of the line', when it comes to picture and sound quality, in many years from now.

    Philips DVDR75
  

*by K***R on Reviewed in the United States on June 4, 2003*

I have owned this unit for only 6 days. I burned 10 discs and there are a few problems so far. When recording all the way to the end of the DVD+r disc an error occurred. Also, if you take the DVD+r disc out before finalizing, it will not be recognized on the recorder that it was made on.I called Philips and they are aware of the problem. They are sending out a software update via US mail.The menu is a little confusing but you get used to it.The recorder gets a little warm after a few hours of operation.The remote is not universal.Picture quality on playback is excellent. Low profile a plus.Will see if the updated software corrects the above problems before I give my thumbs up on this DVD recorder.UPDATE: I just received the firmware update from Philips (ver,ff12r). It took a good 20 min. to update the recorder. I tried to open an unfinalized +r disc that was made before the firmware update. The dvdr 75 let me burn another chapter, but would not let me see previously recorded chapters.  It did let me finalize the chapters that I burned after the firmware update.I noticed that, when you burn all the way to the end of the +r disc, it displays "disc is full" and stops recording automatically.  It didn't do this before the firmware update.  Now, after copying about 35 VHS tapes and 10 DV camcorder tapes, I am very satisfied with this unit.  I also recorded a 2 hour movie off of DISH Network, using the timer.  It worked flawlessly.  I am upgrading my recommendation to 4 stars.

    Works well, great deal
  

*by J***S on Reviewed in the United States on April 26, 2004*

Before I purchased this unit, I read all of the reviews and almost bought the Gateway instead.  What convinced me to go with the Philips unit was the ability to edit titles and chapter markers.  I have used it quite a bit since I received it one week ago and am very pleased with the purchase.  Before I made any recordings on +R media (I used Memorex 4x), I followed the instructions to update the firmware.  This went smoothly but the process is not for the technically meek!  I have subsequently transfered all of my Hi8 analog family videos to DVDs.  As a previous reviewer indicated, you have to be patient with the system.  It does take TIME to process each command, a lot more than one might think.  Watch the screen or the LED display on the front panel to see if the command has been processed.  If you don't wait, you can crash the system.  I have crashed it 3 times in one week.  The manual is relatively clear and I recommend reading the manual before buying and before using (see Philips website for the manual).  Overall, I am happy with the purchase.  It is a great deal at a great price.  Since I have only had the unit one week, I can't comment on long term reliability yet, an issue that came up in some online reviews.
