PHILIPS DVP3100V/05 DVD Player
Customer Review: This thing is next to useless!
I have had nothing but trouble with this player since I brought it - truth be known, I have brought two now as I returned the first thinking it to be faulty, only to find the next displayed exactly the same faults! Well, where do I start! It’s so noisy! When on standby you get this really anoying high pitched whine, which is even louder when vhs tapes are played. This was almost enough for me to throw it through the window. Then, the standby screen which is blue and carries features such as “PLY” and “HI-FI” leap up and down. The menu button on the remote only works if the batteries are brand new (I kid you not) and the fast forward and fast rewind buttons don’t function at all when the player is in VHS mode. This means you can’t just leave the tape to rewind, you have do do it bit by bit! I’m just going to email the supplier in the hope that they will see fit to refund my money so I can buy a completely different model. If not, I’m just going to throw it through the window and buy another just the same! Just don’t buy it: as you can see, it’s so much more trouble than it’s worth!
Customer Review: Philips DVP 3100V
Generally I’m very happy with this machine. Plays both DVDs and videotapes fine. I’m puzzled by the comments about it not being multiregion as I played a Region 1 DVD on it the other day with no problems! Didn’t have to hack it or anything! My only complaint - and why I haven’t given it a higher rating - is that I can’t work out how to video-record off my TV! As someone else pointed out, the manual isn’t particularly helpful!

Panasonic DMREX98VEBS Panasonic DMR-EX98VEBS DVD Recorder with 250GB HDD, Digital Tuner, VHS VCR, SD M 
Panasonic has developed the DMR-EX98V with even higher image quality. Picture quality is better. DVB-T Adaptive Noise Reduction detects and removes the block noise that often occurs in digital broadcasts, to produce beautiful images with minimal noise. And the enhanced quality of 1080p Up-Conversion and rich color gradation of Deep Colour compatibility are seen in deeper, higher-resolution images. The Diagonal Processing automatically detects diagonal lines in motion images, and converts them to sharp lines. The new VIERA Link function of the DMR-EX98V is more advanced. Auto Preset Download does away with the need to make channel and other initial the DMR-EX98V settings. Direct TV Rec. lets the user start recording the TV program that is currently being watched by simply pressing the VIERA Link button on the VIERA remote and selecting Direct TV Rec. Pause Live TV pauses a TV program with the same ease as pausing a DVD disc. The rest of the program can then be watched at a later time, right from the point where it was paused. The DMR-EX98V is equipped with a USB terminal and an SD card slot, so images from a digital still camera can be easily transferred. A large-capacity hard disk drive lets users store music data and turns the DMR-EX98V into a virtual jukebox. It supports gracenote, in short, the DMR-EX98V goes far beyond the point of easy video entertainment to function as a personal digital media server. To enjoy viewing movies recorded on an SD Memory Card, simply copy the MPEG2 Movie data to the hard disk drive or DVD-RAM and then play back. also the DMR-EX98V automatically recognizes images that you’ve uploaded from SD Memory Card. In the SP mode recording, 384Kbps high sound quality recording provides audio q approaching that of commercially available the DMR-EX98V movie software. Even with music containing a wide range of tones, such as orchestral performances, the sound of individual instruments are beautifully reproduced
