Product Description
DVD Recorder, up to 8 hour record, DVD+RW, Divx, Dual layer recordingAmazon.com Product Description
Enjoy all your favorite DVD movies in flicker-free presentation and record your favorite TV programs to disc–via the built-in NTSC TV tuner–with the Philips DVDR3355/37 DVD Recorder. Philips makes it easy to create recordings and helps eliminate any confusion over disc format with dual-media support, enabling you to use DVD+R/RW and DVD-R/RW discs to record up to six hours of MPEG2 compressed video on a single-sided disc. For playback, it’s compatible with VCD, SVCD, CD-R/RW, MP3-CD, and MP3-DVD disc formats and the EG2, MPEG1, Divx (3.11/4/5/6.x), and MPEG4 compression formats. It also supports simultaneous playback of JPEG pictures and MP3 music, enabling you to run a photo slideshow with music playing in the background.
For setting up timed recordings, the DVDR3355/37 uses the VCR Plus+ system. All you need to do to program your video recorder is to enter the “Pluscode”–a single code of up to nine digits (but usually less)–that is printed next to each TV program in most TV guides. This unit also includes a Firewire port (also known as i.LINK and IEEE 1394) on the front, enabling you to easily connect your digital video camcorder and download video and audio directly to disc in their original digital quality.
Recording and disc editing features include chapter marker, insertion, divide, erase, manual chapter marking, one-touch record, and selectable index pictures. Other features include a 20-event, 1-month programmable recording, daily/weekly repeat recording, Dolby Digital encoding, and tri-lingual menu display (English, French, Spanish). It offers the following video and audio connections:
- Composite AV (RCA) In: 2 (1 front)
- Composite AV (RCA) Out: 1
- S-Video In: 2 (1 front)
- S-Video Out: 1
- Component Video Out (Y PB PR): 1

This is the most outrageous piece of garbage one can own, so please stand in line. I purchased this “device” as a replacement for super cheap memorex dvdr (which was like $30). Now Philips let me buy their product for $100-plus, you see , for Philips that’s like a Ferrari. For just over a hundred smakers I was previleged to the most sadomazochistic experience in the world. This piece of garbage has the best of the 1960s technologies in one convenient package. Here we have a CPU from the first Moon lander, a monochromatic display from the first Startrack(r), the colling from the manufacturer of the commercial Marten owens and ability to not recognize any music or video format in existence in the world today. It is quite likely that the Philips workers in the finest slums of Zimbabwe worked hard and long to write a software that would fit all non-human forms out there in the universe, unfortunately, I happen to be a human, therefore my English skills and my BA were deemed irrelevant at this point.The Box (as I cannot call it a DVDR) has ability to not start and not turn off, not to play, not to search ot lable the titles, not to reproduce alternative angles, mentioned on played DVD disk. It can record with quality well below anything the Soviet VCR tape could offer. The “remote control” thing is a very intriguing novelty and can be a topic for hours of conversation with your friends at the parties, it however can not remotely operate a Philips box. The Progressive Scan feature is a very neat little thing- actually , if one would plug a progressive scan cable and attach it to a progressive scan TV , one will be gifted with a delight of low quality grainy picture. Also it would be impossible move to a regular TVset without first going into what Philips called Menu and resetting output back to regular. If not- you will have all outputs produce finest of black lines. I have left my review of this product at Philips web site as well and offered Philips to go out business, so the smarter businessmen from let’s say North Korea could take over the market share.

Initially I thought it was a good idea to purchase a refurbish DVD player.I’ve always enjoyed the Phillips brand of products and I thought it would be a good idea to purchase this DVD player. It also had the technology and the functionally I was looking for.
There were several issues with this DVD player, first it took a very long time to read and play a regular CD which happened to a store bought music CD. Of the two CD I tried to play one finally played and the other didn’t. I also experience the same problem when I tried playing a regular DVD. This DVD player is supposed to be able to play a variety of recording formats; however, this was not the case. I also tried playing a mini disc which I used on my camcorder only to encounter the same problem over and over. In regards to the recording onto a disc that was another set of issues. I did not find this function to be very user friendly, it was very complicated and it did not work. If I was to rate this product, I would have to give it a 1 out of 10 and the 1 being the worst.

I made the fatal error to buy a philips recorder last year. it started screwing up after 7 (!) recordings so I took it back. It did the same after 20 recordings and I took it to be serviced for a second time. When I got it back it wouldn’t even read the disc!!! I had to yell at them to get a replacement and I got the 3355 model today! It did exactly the same thing that user Brad Smith described and YES it is a really frustrating experience. Avoid Philips products or at least their DVD recorders!!!

I don’t see what the problem is. I’ve had this model for a few months now and have had no unexpected problems. It does play both -R and +R discs perfectly, and easily records to anything but DVD-RAM. If you’ve been experiencing playback problems, then the issue is most likely with the write on the disc itself. On the downside, and like most every set-top DVD recorder, the recorded discs probably won’t play in other machines without reauthoring. And, the remote control is lacking features commonly found on others. But, overall this is a fantastic recorder for the price.
