How many watts are needed?

Hi

I am looking to get a Surround sound system to connect to my dvd recorder and sky.

There are so many, however I don`t want to pay too much.

I do not want one with a dvd player built in as I have a dvd recorder.

Can anyone suggest a good one and how many watts to get a decent good quality sound.

Thanks

Philips Recorder won`t play DVDs

Hi there

I have a Philips DVDR880, however it has stopped playing DVDs.

It will still quiet happly play audio CDs though, I know this seems to happen quite alot with the philips. Or is it a case that something else has broken inside?

Does anyone know if a software update will solve this problem? I only have dial up and see that it is a large file, so don`t want to download it if it is a waist of time.

Thanks

DVD Recorders with Set top box control

Hello.

Can anyone tell me of DVD recorders that have STB control built in to them. The only one that I can find is the dvdr80 from Philips, but I have heard some bad reports about Philips machines.

Why are the Older Philips DVD recorders more popular

Hi there

Might seem like astrange question, but I have been looking at Philips DVD Recorders on ebay, and it seems to me that the older models are more popular and people are more likly to pay a higher amount for these.

I am talking about I have seen lots of DVDR890 or DVDR880, and these are going to quite high prices compaired to the DVDR70 or even the brand new DVDR610, which seem to be going at much lower prices.

Do the old older models have better features or something?

Also does anyone know the difference between the DVDR880 and the DVDR890

Many thanks

Philips DVD Recorder Problem

Hello

Can anyone help.

I have philips dvdr80. What is happening is the machine seems to be working fine apart from it is not able to read any disk that I put in to it.

As soon as I put in any disk, it says reading and then says no disk.

Does anyone know what has gone wrong. The machine is now out of its warranty of course!!

Do you think that it is a problem with the cd drive in the machine, or would it be some other peice of hardward in it?

I was thinking of buying a cheep "faulty" one from ebay if it is likely to be a certin part of it that can just be swapped over.

Any idea are really welcomed.

Cheers

Can anyone that has managed to use the hack on this machine, tell me if there Guide Plus is still working? And if so what version of software are you using?

Would be glad to hear from anyone that has done the hack on a dvdr80

cheers

Help with copying dvds

Hi

I am trying to back up my dvds. I am using Intervideo dvd copy.

The program runs fine, and seems to make a copy of the dvd OK, however whenever I try to play it back in any dvd player - including my philips dvd recorder, the pic and sound just break up. Its as if the dvd player cannot pick up the signal properly.

I am really new to this, is there anything I am missing. I am using a Packard Bell DVD+RW

Philips dvdr70 v dvdr610

Hi there

I recently got a new dvdr70 from Tescos, however it turned out to be faulty. I took it back and they didn`t have any of the dvdr70s left so they replaced it with a dvdr610.

Can anyone tell me if there are any differences between these 2 machines. The person at Tescos said that the dvdr610 was a later version.

Is there anything that the dvdr610 can`t do that the dvdr70 could or vise versa?

Many thanks

RE: Philips 610 & the new update

Has anyone else noticed that since the 13th October update that when you change channel on the tuner that it no longer shows PDC anymore, nor does the channel name scroll along the display of the recorder any more?

Any ideas when this has been changed?
