This is a good box. It replaces a separate DVD player and vhs player,

and can record dvd as well. It has a built-in digital tuner, and up-

converts whatever it plays to the resolution of the tv. It has a digital

output (HDMI) to go the tv.

In my application, I use the tuner on the house antenna to get "free-from-air" digital broadcasts, while the cable input goes

directly to the tv. I didn't realize how important the upconverting

feature was until I saw it it makes old media look .. better.

In my copious spare time, I hope to convert vhs tapes I want to

save to dvd this box can do that offline, and unattended.

good value for the money.

I was having problems coping from tape to DVD, the DVD would only play on their machine. I tried everything burned about 7 DVD's before I decide to call tech support which was very good. It turned out you can only use either Maxell or Philips DVD's. i when out purchase Maxell's and have no problems. Other then that the machine is great.

This was my second purchase of a combo recorder it should have been my first! In late 2005 I bought an LG LRY-517 DVDR/VCR. The biggest mistake of my life! The LG had constant problems with both DVD and VHS playback. I thought this might be a universal problem with combos but, out of desparation and frustration with the LG, I bought this Philips combo. What a solid, reliable machine. My only complaint might be with the editting program. No big deal. As far as recording, dubbing VHS to DVD, and playback the Philips functions flawlessly. I might just buy another one...and throw the LG away!

Want Philips DVDR3545V/37 1080p Upscaling DVDR/VCR Combo with Built-In Tuner Discount?

Initially, I bought the Panasonic DMR-EZ47V, based on Consumer Report's high ranking. It was a glitchy, slow, maddening disaster. I returned it and got this Philips, and so far, no complaints. Turns on and changes digital channels reasonably quickly. Remote control makes sense. Doesn't crash unexpectedly. Pretty low standards, I realize, but after the Panasonic, I'm happy to have a machine that does the basics.

I am on a replacement unit---which turns out to be worse than the first. This machine's VHS recording results are so poor that you cannot tell what you are watching. This machine will play BUT NOT record to DVD.

And, Philip's customer service is anything but service. They continually put you off, insisting that they can only assist you by having someone return your call---and, of course, the return call never comes.

Save time, money, and negative feelings --STAY away from Philip's products.
