Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Philips DVP3345V/17 DVD/VCR Combo
Customer Review: Not as good as JVC HRXVC12S for same price
Summary: 2 Stars
I wanted a DVD/VCR combo with a silver finish to match my silver SA Explorer 8300HDC DVR. This was the only silver unit I could find (new and from reputable stores/websites) other than the JVC HRXVC12S (JVC HRXVC12S Progressive Scan DVD Player and VCR Combo)...not counting a couple Walmart/Kmart brands I wasn't too keen on like Sylvania. I was less than thrilled with this Philips combo upon unboxing it, however, as the entire thing seemed to be made of plastic, and it was not as deep (front to back) as my DVR, under which I wanted it to be placed. I played a couple of DVDs and noticed the tray seemed very flimsy--definitely not kid friendly. Whilst the picture looked fine, there was a noticeable pause when the layer changed. I was also disappointed that the remote was filled with nearly 50 tiny, similarly-sized & shaped buttons that didn't glow or illuminate. It's also not Energy Star certified and does not have a dts decoder.
By comparison, the JVC does have a dts decoder, is Energy Star certified, has a more user-friendly remote, its DVD tray feels solid and it's built with a metal case. It's also about an inch deeper so it fits underneath my DVR much better. Unfortunately its silver finish is darker than the DVR's, but I believe it's better than the Philips in every other way.
Note that neither of these units has an optical digital output (just coaxial), and neither routes the VHS picture through the component outputs. Neither has HDMI or a TV tuner either but that should be obvious.
