The latest flagship hard disk/DVD recorder from Toshiba enters a market dominated by the likes of Panasonic, Pioneer and Philips, all of which have recently impressed with multi-faceted machines that do much more than simply record TV. Toshiba has struggled to match its more talented rivals in this department, so the RD-98DT will be looking to even up the score a little.
Do you still have VHS tapes that you want to play – or, better still, transfer to DVD? Then Panasonic's smart-looking DMR-EX98V could be for you. As a DVD recorder-cum-VCR-cum-hard disk drive, it's certainly an interesting proposal.
Cool in appearance, the DVR-560HX (the black variant, certainly) has clearly been designed to complement Pioneer’s other AV components.
The latest in a best-selling line, Panasonic’s DMR-EX78 is its first UK DVD/HDD recorder with DivX playback. Also new is Freeview Playback, which delivers PVR-style functionality. Other key attractions include 1080p upscaling via HDMI, a 250GB hard-disk (for up to 441 hours of recording), a USB port for playing photos and MP3 files stored on memory devices, FireWire for digital camcorder dubs, multi-format DVD recording and the neat ability to act as a music jukebox. It’s enough to make any AV fan salivate.
It may be Panasonic’s entry-level DVD/HDD recorder, but the smart-looking DMR-EX768 delivers all of the essentials. Unless you’re living in an area without usable Freeview coverage, that is; this budget marvel, like the rest of Panasonic’s digital-ready range, lacks an analogue tuner.
Slimline by design and serious in appearance, Sony’s latest 160GB HDD/DVD recorder will doubtless attract plenty of shop window admirers, and it has the specs to match.
An AV centre in disguise’, reads the blurb that accompanies Philips’ latest recorder, and it’s a fitting description. Not only can the DVDR5570H record television programmes on its hard disk, but it also bridges the gap between your PC and TV by storing music, photo and video files, while also playing a wide variety of disc formats.
The DMR-EX88 is one of the first DVD/HDD combis to boast a Freeview Playback badge, which means it not only boasts an integrated Freeview tuner and 7-day EPG, but it can also record an entire series at the touch of a button. It'll even detect schedule changes, clashes or split programmes automatically, which makes it a very versatile recording solution. A few other combis offer some of these features, but the Playback badge is your guarantee that it does the lot.
