agree that it is junk – T. Graves – Denver, CO
We have this for about three years and finally I am exhausted. I agree with the opinion of other junk that is all the same problems that have expressed.
BEWARE: DVDs are non-standard & incompatible – Papoulka –
I am bitterly disappointed with the Philips DVDR-3400 recorder, and suppose that all lines have the same problems.
I have not found until it had burned 300 + DVDs that the disk directory structure created by these machines Phillips is defective. The title of the disk that appears to "play" on your home DVD player … but all post-registration changes (cutting the parts you did so on) are lost.
And most PC based DVD players and other softwareDo not treat the disk, so if you wrote your movies on long-term disk storage, you're out of luck.
I do not know how a company the size of Phillips may issue such a piece of shit. They had to deal with these problems. I'm sick of thinking about the time that I lost. Everything I have is junk to show for it. And yes, I did everything (finalized disc, etc.).
Add to that the terrible remote control with rubbery, non-return key, which often do not work; bit 'possibility of using the bridge for reading, etc. etc. (read the other complaints) and you have a real loser here.
I bought my first tape recorder Phillips in 1968. I will never buy another Phillips product.
audio/sound behind and on delay(on finished dvd recording) for 1-2 seconds(stays on delay for the whole recording)!!!!!!!!!!!!!! – –
I do not know if all machines do, but when you record a program (particularly in M3, M4, M6, M8 and how) the image is in front of audio (for example, someone heard before, you see the hand slap the face, then 1-2 seconds later you hear the sound of the person interviewed ?????). Video and audio are recorded separate course should ?????. M1, M2 and M2x seem to be the only option if you want to work in its natural state as it should. Speaking ofmethods of speed, if you want the best that I stay with suggess M1, M2, and the quality of M2x real image at a distance. we come to the M3 (s-video) you see the difference (not that bad extrordinarally), M4 (about the same as M3, but this speed falls into the category of standard VHS SP speed and that's really seeing the beginning of " image artifacts blocks). M6 is a big joke (even if you get a recording time). This is where you see things that happen down the Strait. an overabundanceblocking artifacts, and sometimes "blurred image". M8. Where do I even begin. very pixilated picture (even with the best source to start recording, as digital cable, for example.). including the Motion Picture "(the natural rate of image, as if you see something alive through their own eyes the color of life) is like the cheap", "VCD quality. Motion does'nt watch live, real or natural at all. So when VHS tapes to any video posted 615 related to PhilipsRCA jacks (yellow, white and red) and / or coaxial cable (the cable to the wall as) the image jumps, jumps and pauses during recording VHS to DVD or when they do (and a DVD has won 't have a troll , abandonment, or any defects and will always jump, skip and pause ?????). have a bad VHS tape?. be recorded correctly?. You can forget. this machine could not record VHS tapes correctly if your life depended on it. Working?. yes (M1, M2 and M2x only). This is a concern and nightmarework?. absolutely (M3, M4, M6, M8 and audio delays, bad Motion Picture "(M8 only to make things clear, VCD anyone ?????) color blocking artifacts, and even bleeding in the picture (especially red , orange, etc.). "optimizer mode for image filter Philips M3-M8" can not save the image quality on this machine. oh and how could I forget. wants 1h, 2h, 2 1/2h 3 hours , 4 hours and 6 hours of actual recording time, forget it. 1h and the way you get around 1:03:04, 2 hours mode is around 01:57:38, 3h mode, you2:58:18 movement mode of 4 hours around 03:58:16, 6 hours and conditions, moves 5:58:17 (estimated by every few seconds, more or less approx.). This is not good. finally, when every minute counts, this machine will not disappoint. nice car, but a nightmare to manage. What a mess. want to have support from Philips, you can forget that. I lost dozens of DVDs on this machine (lucid coasters anyone). In short, a missed opportunity for both parties (consumers and Philips). Zero stars. a big F-. allsuggestions for a good recording double-layer DVD recorder reliably without any problems?. all. I'm all ears !!!!!
