Philips DVDR3575H/37 (160 GB) DVD-Recorder / Festplatten-Recorder

Pro: Good size, good play back, good price, low maintenance

Contra: None as of yet

Fazit: I will recommend this product to all

Beurteilung: Ok, here's the scoop on one of the best DVD players out there in the market. It is small, yet not to small. I will fit in about any entertainment set that you own or on top of the TV. It plays DVD beautifully and never lets dust in. It will play...

Pro: Will play DIVX and JPEG files besides you music and video DVDs.

Contra: No TV guide so it doesn't name the program you're recording.

Beurteilung: This is my second HDD recorder. My first one was a panasonic with a hard drive, but it finally went out. Looking around for another one and finding out that they don't make them anymore was a bummer.
This Philips unit works great, I have a big...

Pro: great recorder, does almost everything you could want

Contra: No unique naming of scheduled recording, some problems with dubbing.

Beurteilung: I was finally tired of using tapes to record my favorite TV shows. I knew that there were hard drive recorders out there, so I thought that I would give this a try.

It works great. I knew that it had issues with the title of recorded...

Pro: Digital tuner, DVR with no subscription, pause live TV, simultaneous record & playback, dubbing

Contra: tedious titling, no timer titles, no DL, no way to group or organize harddrive recordings

Fazit: Lots of features in this DVD/DVR device. The manual is actually decent. Great step up from just a plain DVD recorder.

Beurteilung: The Philips DVDR3575H is a DVD recorder and a 160 GB hard drive DVR in one unit offering 1080p upconvert capabilities and a digital/analog tuner.

Background:
I ve stepped up to the DVDR3575H from an older Philips recorder, the...

Pro: Price!- Subscription free HDD/DVD recorder for around $200

Contra: Remote

Fazit: Great if you don't have an HD TV and do not want to pay a monthly fee. May want an extended warranty based on some reliability problems others have had.

Beurteilung: Having read the extensive reviews of other posters and generally agreeing with the pros and cons that have been written, I will add some notes for those that may have a projector set up.

I chose the Phillips instead of another Tivo Series...

Pro: When it works, the product is awesome

Contra: After the first 30 days, it stopped working and the customer service is horrible

Fazit: It seems extremely hit or miss to me, since the product bugs clearly are not resolved. So good luck if you're a gambler.

Beurteilung: I did a lot of research (2-3 months) last spring before I found the dvdr I wanted. An HDD big enough and a DVD recorder to burn stuff. So I spent $300 and got the Phillips, a decent brand.

The first month it worked beautifully. Everything...

Pro: Recording quality good. HDD great. Editing not too time consuming once you're used to it

Contra: Can have bad spots on the harddrive. Alittle hard to learn..Keep the book handy at1st.

Fazit: Even with the glitches, it's worth it.

Beurteilung: For a really comprehensive and detailed review on the product details and specs see the review by Ames100, it's very thorough. I wrote this to touch on a few points he might have missed, as well as to help the "new to DVD recorders" get started if...

Pro: Hard Drive Recording, ATSC tuner.

Contra: Lots to list: No pgm guide, menus, URC support, cannot delete ATSC sub-channels, more.

Fazit: After researching DVR options with ATSC reception, Philips is about the only reasonably priced DVR with ATSC (3576H is newer). If something besides Philips becomes available, consider it instead.

Beurteilung: This recorder suffered in the early stages, but recent firmware changes have helped. However, even the latest firmware lacks in features that should be standard on an ATSC/QAM/DVR/DVD recorder.

I use this device for free Over-The-Air, ATSC...

Pro: Capacity

Contra: Not reliable, Bad Customer Support,No timer event name, No HD recording

Fazit: Buy a different brand

Beurteilung: Sept 12 2007. Philips seems to take 2 steps forward than 2 steps back.
I have previously owned a Philips HDRW 720/17 and a Philips DVDR3455H/37. Philips seems to advance in development of some features (HDMI and HD tuner) but goes backwards on...

Pro: Digital tuner, HDD recording, DVD+R/RW and DVD-R/RW recording and high-speed dubbing, 1080p upconversion

Contra: Crippling copy-protection restrictions, lack of battery backup, no program guide or automatic naming

Fazit: Good value for the money, routine operation works well, but it would be a lot more useful without those imposed copy-protection restrictions.

Beurteilung: This Philips video recorder is one of the latest generation with a built-in digital tuner, an update mandated by the FCC for all new models sold in the USA after March 1, 2007. It features a 160 Gbyte hard disk drive, direct recording and high-speed...
