DVDR985 Better than a VCR!
If it plays on your TV then you can record it and share it with the Philips DVD Recorder. Everything from sitcoms to sports events is now available to you on completely digital DVD discs.

Philips uses the DVD+R and DVD+RW standard to ensure that every recording you make can be played in the most DVD players possible.

With the Philips DVD Recorder you can record from any source: terrestrial, cable, satellite set-top box, or hard disk recorder. The Philips DVD Recorder is equipped with a TV tuner and enough inputs & outputs for all your Audio/Video equipment.

Create your own DVDs with Philips DVDR985
Never rewind or fast-forward again to find the game-winning goal or the long-awaited kiss. Our unique Index Picture Screen allows you to view the entire contents of your discs, including the space you have left for new recordings from your TV screen.

To play discs recorded on the Philips DVD Recorder, all you need is a DVD-ROM drive and MPEG2 decoding capabilities. For sophisticated edits on PC, all you need is a DVD+RW drive and the video-editing software package of your choice.

A winning format
Due to the DVD+RW recording format's high-quality digital picture, exceptional sound, and ease of use compared to other formats, industry support for the DVD+RW format is growing exponentially. Computer giants Dell and Hewlett-Packard have both chosen DVD+RW as the optimal format for digital video recording.

The Philips DVDR-985 is the right choice for the future
The DVD+RW Alliance predicts that CDRW recording will be replaced by DVD+RW, meaning that worldwide availability of low-priced blank media will revolutionize digital video recording options for both casual and professional consumers.

Memories never go out of style.
Remember your high school reunion from a few years back? The year mom went back to get her degree? Wouldn't it be great to keep those recordings forever?

A digital video album
All your favorite scenes from videos of family and friends can be compiled into one amazing DVD. Now, you can really have a digital album of all of your favorite memories. The bouquet toss at your wedding, the day your 5-year-old decided to be his own barber, or the day you shipped the kids off to college - all on DVD.

Are your memories fading?
If your VHS movie library is slowly losing quality with age, then you probably should transfer them all to DVD. Some movies are worth the cleanup that a digital signal provides. With the Philips DVD Recorder you can transfer bulky, low-quality VHS movies to DVD for playback wherever you want (even on PC).

Digital catalog
Ever picked up an unlabeled tape and had no idea what was on it? Imagine a perfect, digital catalog of your material. The Philips DVD Recorder's Favorite Scene Selection allows you to mark the scenes you want to see and skip unwanted scenes - and you can play back your selection on other DVD players. It's an instant picture of what's on the tape, with no winding or rewinding necessary.

More structure, more sales
Avoid the jumble of training tapes in your video storage area - archive your pre-recorded movies on slim, long-lasting DVDs! The Philips DVD Burner allows you to easily transfer your training tapes to DVD for playback just about everywhere.
