| Review summary | Panasonic's budget DVD recorder shows the manufacturer at the top of its game, reaping the benefits of the company's history in the market. It can record to various -R/+R/RAM DVD media and is one of the few models that can offer quality recordings at the 4-hours-per-disc setting. And with component outputs providing a very good AV performance to a flat-screen TV, this is the budget DVD recorder of the future Read full review |
This is the best budget DVD recorder on the market by some margin. It offers excellent quality recordings straight from TV, impressive playback of shop-bought discs and is incredibly easy to use Read full review |
Hitachi's DVRX-7000E may be the company's first DVD recorder, but it's the best value model on the market. Sitting way above the raft of cheap recorders from the no-name brands, it rewards you with stellar picture quality and useful features, such as the ability to remove advert breaks in programmes Read full review |
At last! A DVD/hard-drive recorder with integrated Freeview tuner. It's the centre of your AV setup in one box. Like most pioneering technology, the essential purchase will likely come with the follow-up -- the EH60D doesn't have dual tuners and can't even play DivX movies. But it's a solid AV performer with great recording features, and the convenience of the setup makes it a recommended purchase Read full review |

Doesn't come cheap, but its excellent picture and sound quality make it worth the hefty investment
