      Philips DVDR5500

      By Patrick Wignall

      Review summary: There are a lot of ugly, chunky DVD recorders on the market, but the Philips DVDR5500 certainly isn't one of them. A slick black and mirrored chrome finish this slim-line unit, and it provides a straightforward way to record TV with the added bonus of ...

      Cons: Playback quality is good, but not perfect

      Verdict: The Philips DVDR5500 produces great quality recordings, looks stylish and is easy to use. Its DVD playback quality may only be so-so, but at this price it still represents good value for money

      Verdict: The DVDR550 might not be the last word in Freeview or DVD picture quality and editing features are limited, but the inclusion of a digital tuner and 1080i upscaling on such an affordably-priced recorder is a real bonus. Also pleasing is the user ...
