DVD recorders for everyone
Philips has already made a big splash in the DVD recorder market and is
hoping to tempt even more punters to ditch their VCRs with some new additions.
There are two hard disk drive models -
the DVDR3300H and DVDR7300H – and one standalone recorder, the DVDR3305, which
records to blank DVDs. First up, the heavy hitters. The DVDR7300H and DVDR3300H
boast 250GB and 80GB HDDs respectively,
each capable of storing roughly 400 hours and 130 hours of footage – although
you may want to check at what resolution. 
Programmes can
also be burned directly to DVD+R/RW discs. Both players have the usual
Time-Shift capabilities and also sports an Instant Replay button to replay any
scenes just watched. They also support Dual-Layer blank DVD discs, have i.Link
(FireWire) interfaces, two Scarts and in the case of the DVDR7300H, a HDMI input for high
definition content. The entry-level DVDR3305 can record up to six hours on
DVD+R/RW and DVD-R/RW discs, and has four preset recording modes. It costs
£150. The 80GB DVDR3300H is out now and will cost around £270. The DVDR7300H is
due next month but no prices yet.
