I ordered this DVD recorder after reading the reviews. The unit I received had the wrong remote included. It didn't work with the unit at all. The manual showed a completely different remote. And the manual was one that was copied off the internet, not an original one. I am sending this one back and I will never order a refurbished unit again
I enjoy this recorder very much. It is easy to use.If the recorder does clears out the channel memory constantly, you can correct this by turning off the auto DST (daylight savings time adj) and auto clock. Just set everything up manually.The recorder will leave some space more than the time set. For example, if you set the recorder to record 2 hours using the 2 hours setting, it will leave a few minutes left on the disc. This is useful when using the timer since I usually set the timer to record one minute before the program's schedule and to end one minute after since getting the clock set perfectly with the TV show is very difficult.The sound level is a little quieter than I expected so I have to raise the volume when playing the recordings and also the picture is a little darker.The DVI input did not work with my camcorder because it would not recognize my Samsung camcorder. The recorder wouldn't let me just direct feed (as opposed to using the built in extras that recognize the camcorder). I have to use my Panasonic recorder to transfer my camcorder tapes. My Panasonic also won't recognize the camcorder but lets me feed the video and sound through the DVI input .If I had extra money to spend, I'd buy another one because this recorder is so inexpensive now.
Even though the refurbished price was a bargain, I would not buy this product if I had it to do over. Look at other units and manufacturers. Compared to my previous 2002-vintage Philips DVDR75, it is confusing and far too quirky. E.g., it forgets all of the channels -- both analog and digital -- and other settings after it is programmed. Turn it off and BLAM total memory loss. Has to be set up again every time you turn it back on. It seems to record OK, but the quirkiness is not worth the bother.
Can record on DVD-RW and DVD+RW. The TV tunner is great, can switch from analog to digital with a push of a button. Great for older tv sets. Using the digital I found cable chanels I never knew I had.My last recorder was a Pioneer. Philps has a quicker start and finalizing is much faster. This is a great recorder for the money.
Great unit!! We were very happy with the product & speed of delivery. Excellent price for dvd recorder.
I bought this unit to replace my broken Panasonic dvd recorder. Tuner does not pick up HD over the air channels, just analog. Unit does not keep time info once turned off. I hooked up another dvd player to it to duplicate a dvd. It was unable to duplicate previously recorded dvd unless tv is turned on to what you are recording. In other words, you cannot watch another channel while duplicating dvd. I am glad the price & shipping was resonable. Takes a long time to load & read dvd. Bottom line, would not recommend. I gave it 2 stars only because of the price.
This unit works great. Have also a 3506 and another 3505. Tried 5 (five) magnavox ZV457MG9 and trutech zv450tt8 all made and serviced by Funai, the Philips all work fantastac, all of the magnavox and the trutech had the SAME ERROR, a defective DIGITAL tune which works for about 24 hours and then is gone no access to digital channels at all and no locating them on a rescan of dtv. Recommend the philips 3506 and 3505. Stay away from the mentioned magnavox and trutech.
All of our expectations were met through the purchase of this product. This is our second Philips DVDR3505. We enjoyed the features of our first one so much that we wanted another one. No worries about this one being a refurb, since it's for using and not for "show". It's a little work horse. We especially like being able to schedule certain programs to record and we don't have to be present to ensure they are captured. Satisified with the price for the product. We consider this a good value.
This item works exactly as advertised. It was easy to hook up to my entertainment system and performs well. Very easy to program.
