Philips DVDR5570H 250GB HDMI DVD Recorder with Freeview

Philips DVDR5570H DivX Ultra 250GB DVD Recorder with Freeview

The Philips DVDR5570H DVD Recorder from Philips is much more than an ordinary DVD player/recorder! It’s equipped with a hybrid TV tuner and records analogue and digital TV programmes directly onto its 250GB hard drive. You’ll also be able to record videos to DVD and share your favourite films and programmes with others!

The Philips DVDR5570H displays high definition images thanks to its 1080p HDMI connection, and it’s compatible with most formats including MP3, DivX and JPEG. It comes with a USB 2.0 port for quick and easy data transfers, and has a pause and rewind button that you can use while watching programmes that are being broadcast live. The DVDR5570H DVD Recorder has been designed to give you the ultimate viewing experience!

DivX, MP3, WMA and JPEG files can be transferred onto the hard-disk from DVD, CD or USB, and the hard-disk can hold up to 270 DivX files, 10,000 photos or 7,000 music files on top of the regular MPEG-2 TV recordings. The same file types can also be copied from the hard-disk to DVD or USB device (or directly from USB to DVD), but MPEG-2 hard-disk recordings can't be copied to USB.

Another impressive feature is 1080p, 1080i or 720p upscaling for DVDs and hard-disk recordings, which should boost picture quality on a hi-def TV. Elsewhere, the Skip Commercial Block feature will be a godsend to those who get annoyed by the increasing amount of adverts on our screens. The unit automatically detects the beginning and end of commercial breaks, allowing you to jump past them by pressing the chapter skip button. Our test revealed that this works fairly well, accurately chopping out the adverts from a Channel 4 broadcast. The chapter points are set when the unit is in standby, and takes 30 minutes to process one hour of recording time, but the end result is worth waiting for.

HDD Media Jukebox
Create your very own digital media jukebox right in your living room. Transfer MP3, WMA, MPEG2, DivX, DivX Ultra, Xvid, JPEG and HD JPEG files quickly and conveniently onto the recorder's built-in hard disk - from USB thumb drives, portable media players, digital cameras and even some AV devices. Play back your favourite movies, music or photos on your TV or home theatre system any time you want. The options are endless, as will be the enjoyment.

True high-def HDMI 1080p
HDMI 1080p upscaling delivers images that are crystal clear. Movies in standard definition can now be enjoyed in true high definition resolution - ensuring more details and more true-to-life pictures. Progressive Scan (represented by "p" in "1080p") eliminates the line structure prevalent on TV screens, again ensuring relentlessly sharp images. To top it off, HDMI makes a direct digital connection that can carry uncompressed digital HD video as well as digital multi-channel audio, without conversions to analogue - delivering perfect picture and sound quality, completely free from noise.

File transfer: HDD, DVD, USB
Thanks to the complete file transferability, you can transfer or copy your multimedia files from one source to another regardless of whether the files are stored in the recorder HDD, on a DVD disc or on your USB flash drive.

One Touch Pause Live TV
Pause Live TV puts you in absolute control. Once the recorder is turned on, a large built-in memory automatically starts recording the programme you are watching -- allowing you to pause, replay or save the programme, any time. If you need to take a break, you can pause your 'live' TV programme with just one touch of a button, and resume watching when it suits you.
