However, I found out now from Philips Tech Support that it does not play some compact DVD as well as VCD. Their website states that it plays it all in region 1 but now I found out it does not. I bought this DVD/VCR combo so that I could play DVD, VCD etc. Hence, I have to return it to Philips and find out if it is a problem with the unit or not. I could play these on my neighbors Panasonic DVD. multi format as well as PAL tapes from UK. It is a bummer.HB DVD reveiwer
I tried with different tapes, to no avail.The DVD player is a lemon, too. I still could hear the audio, but the video is a still screen. I played a good DVD disc, which I verified with a SONY player, and it stopped working every 10 minutes and automatically shut down. I wish I could have given negative grade for this product and Philips customer support.I received the device 10 days ago, and that is how long I've gone through pain dealing with it.The VHS part. Forwarding it did not help. I contacted Philips customer care, and got treated like an idiot. I played a perfectly good VHS on this device, and after it ran, displayed picture on the TV for 10 minutes, the picture froze and stayed still forever. They want me to pay for shipping to a repair center for the brand new device that does not work right in the first place.So go with any other brands, but not Philips for this type of product.
Well thats not neccessary because the clock sets it self and the player will come on and stand by two minutes before the set time. The player will also let you use the tuner before it starts recording. I did not know about all of the features that it has. If you ever wished you could change the channel as fast as you finger will go, well with this one you can. For example. The tuner is so fast,it will be on the channel that you want it on before the numbers on the screen say it. You have it set at 8 for channel 4, it will come on at 7:58 and turn to channel 4.
I also like the dvd timer. If you change the channel it will turn back at 8. By the way the tv tuner is the fastest i've ever seen in my life. I bought this Philips dvd/vcr combo recorder so I could burn dvds and have a good vcr. I thought that if i wanted to set the dvd recorder to come on at 8 o clock i would have to set it two minutes early. It has a 60sec flash rewind for a T120 vcr tape. The instructions says that it can only record to dvd+r disc but I have a maxell dvd-rw disc and it works fine.
I love this recorder/player and if your thinking about buying it and you have more questions you can email me your question at imperialdefence@yahoo.com
