Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I purchased this dvdr because the price was right and because it had the ability to record shows on a daily/weekly basis (I had previously purchased and returned a Panasonic brand that was more expensive but did not have this capability).After having it for a couple of months, I am finding that it has a number of annoying "quirks".
Firstly, when the machine is turned off it displays the time.However, almost every morning I wake up to find that it has turned itself on in the middle of the night and gotten itself into a mode where it now says "Menu".I then have to hit the power button to get it to turn off properly and to display the time again.Not such a big deal, but a minor annoyance.
The bigger deal (which I just discovered a couple of days ago) was that I had to manually change the time for daylight savings time and after I did so my scheduled recordings got screwed up (they are no longer recording properly... one show didn't even record at all... I had to manually hit the record button in order to get it to record), and then I noticed that a day or two after I changed the date and time it automatically reset itself to a random date and time.
Anyway, I am having a lot of bizarre problems with it.I don't know if it is because it is "remanufactured" or if they are all quirky like mine, but I don't think that I would recommend this to anyone.Unless you want to buy it because it's inexpensive and hope for the best that yours won't suffer from the same problems as mine, I would recommend spending a little more money and buying something of a higher quality.

Product Description:
Enjoy all your favorite DVD movies in flicker-free presentation and record your favorite TV programs to disc--via the built-in NTSC TV tuner--with the Philips DVDR3355/37 DVD Recorder. Philips makes it easy to create recordings and helps eliminate any confusion over disc format with dual-media support, enabling you to use DVD+R/RW and DVD-R/RW discs to record up to six hours of MPEG2 compressed video on a single-sided disc. For playback, it's compatible with VCD, SVCD, CD-R/RW, MP3-CD, and MP3-DVD disc formats and the EG2, MPEG1, Divx (3.11/4/5/6.x), and MPEG4 compression formats. It also supports simultaneous playback of JPEG pictures and MP3 music, enabling you to run a photo slideshow with music playing in the background.
For setting up timed recordings, the DVDR3355/37 uses the VCR Plus+ system.
