Just brought myself a DVD recorder, so that I can copy all my old camcorder videos of the kids onto DVD.

 

Was in ASDA the other week and spotted this one at £119.99, and thought it would do the job, but just couldn't quite justify the money on the basis that I wouldn't be getting rid of the 'old' one as it's got the Dolby Digital 5.1 decoder built-in, and this one hasn't.

Anyway popped in on Thursday and spotted that they'd knocked £20 off the price, so thought 'Sod-it' and brought it :D

 

It's the CyberHome CH-DVR 750, and has got loads of I/O ports.

 

 

As long as it records decently then that's all I need out of it, as, like I say, I'm still keeping my other one, which is a Sony DVP-NS400D, mainly because it matches all my other Sony gear in the lounge :cool:

 

EDIT** The picture shows a DVR 1500 (the old model), mine has the brushed alloy, flat, front panel, with the addition of a DV input (firewire) port.

Looks nice Dave,

 

What connections does it have on the back too

Also, how long can you record on a single DVD

 

I dont suppose it can cope with the "new" Dual Layer disks yet can it?

 

Cheers mate

Rear connections are; RF in, RF out, SCART 1 to TV I/O, SCART 2 I/O, Composite Video (RCA), S-Video, AUDIO out (RCA), & Co-Axial Digital out (for 5.1).

Front connections are; DV in (i-Link/DV), S-Video in, AUDIO in (L & R, RCA), & Video in (RCA)

 

Recording speeds are; HQ = 1 Hour, SP = 2 Hours, LP = 3 Hours, EP = 4 Hours, & EP+ = 6 Hours.

 

No it cant do Dual Layer

 

It's got a built-in TV (analogue/NICAM) tuner, and records in PCM mode (Digital 5.1)

 

So at £99.95 you can't really beat it, well I'm impressed for the money anyway.

 

HTH

Bargain that!! :D

blimey, defo a bargain

Does sound a real bargain that .. bet you were patting your arse all the way home mate ;-)
