1.0 out of 5 stars High quality product? Not on your life!, 17 April 2005
By M. Lee "Keys" (London, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I thought, mistakenly as it turns out, that Philips were reknowned for reliable products. Well, that is not the case with this pile of junk. Timer recording frequently results in the unit freezing up with the only way of freeing it being to unplug it, losing that part of the program which may have already been recorded. In fact, the unit freezes up for no apparent reason whilst editing, recording, copying etc. etc. It is totally unreliable. Dolby 5.1 theatre sound is only available in digital audio which is of no use to me as I use an anologue 4 channel surround sound system which works splendidly with my old dvd player. It also squeaks in operation when it's been running a while. The on screen menus are only available in small typefaces which I find difficult to read. There are some features which are not explained in the manual. Slow motion is a hassle to get, requiring a trip through menus!
I have to say that picture quality is superb if you can put up with the aggravation and background squeaking, which I am not prepared to do.
This would be expensive at half the price!

3.0 out of 5 stars Not Actually A Philips Product, 8 Feb 2005
By Ian Mitchell "IM35461" (East Sussex United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I am now on my second unit.
Menus are more friendly than other Philips DVDR machines but that is because inside it is actually a Liteon LVW-5045 (also on sale at Amazon).

The Philips one costs more, has half the size hard drive and only works with + DVD media. The Philips model is however better styled.

This model also has very poor widescreen switching support on both input from Sky Digiboxes and output to some TV's e.g. Sony.

Also no S-Video input.

4.0 out of 5 stars Philips DVDR 520H with 80gb hard drive, 18 Mar 2006
By D. Davies "soup dragon" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is an excellent product. Record quality is exceptional, on dvd and hard-disk and the apperance is aesthetically pleasing with minilistic styling blending in well with today's silver finish products. User friendly, and easily converted to multi region.Have used this recorder more in the past two weeks than the video recorder in the last 6 months.

4.0 out of 5 stars Had it 2 years now and its been excellent
Had no problems at all with this machine and would recomend it to anyone.
You have to use the higher quality options, otherwise its a bit poor, and that the only issue.
