We say: Despite the
long specs, this deck is
very average when it
comes to basics like
picture and sound. It
may be multiregional
and have lots of inputs,
but the lack of
VideoPlus or similar
programme guide and
the fact that the
progressive scan func-
tion copes only with
NTSC marks this out as
a dubious foreign import
clearly not aimed at
UK consumers.

We say: This elegant deck
may not be the cheapest
DVD recorder out there,
but but it’s one of the
best, thanks to the
combination of DVD-RAM
flexibility and DVD-R
compatibility. The RGB
input on the recorder is
vital for anyone with
digital TV (Freeview, Sky
or cable). A great
all-purpose recorder for
day-to-day use, and
reasonably priced.

We say: Colourful and
detail-laden pictures on
recordings made in
optimum modes makes
this a special deck.
Others can compete
there, but not over the
inclusion by Philips of
GuidePlus, a seriously
special addition. Editing
may be limited and the
menu navigation may be
a little slow but it’s so
feature-packed we don’t
have any major gripes.

We say: Like the cheaper
DMR-E55 this elegant
deck is not the most
affordable but its recording
and playback performance
is so damn good it makes
it impossible to seriously
fault (though DV camcorder
enthusiasts should note
that there is no DV output
for dubbing edited footage
back to a camcorder).
Overall, a great machine if
you can justify the price.
