    CNET Review

    August 4, 2003

    The Good: Guide Plus EPG; component-video input; excellent video processing; solid recording quality in long-play modes; slick styling; relatively painless operation.

    The Bad: Somewhat expensive; crowded remote; Guide Plus may not work with all cable systems.

    The Bottom Line: Loaded with features and delivering great video quality, this Philips is a solid all-around DVD recorder.
