DVD players are preferred over VCRs because of their ease of use and their quick access to content without fast-forwarding or rewinding. Still, many who have left VHS behind miss the ability to record their favorite content. With the Cyberhome CH-DVR1600, you get all of the recording versatility of a high-end VCR and the convenience of a progressive-scan DVD player. Recording to Disc
CyberHome's DVR 1600 Personal DVD Recorder records to inexpensive and reliable DVD+R/RW discs. Its built-in editing features allow you to add chapter markers or, if that's too much trouble, can automatically select chapter markers for you. Users can record from TV shows through the built-in tuner or from any video source, thanks to the unit's composite video, S-video, and IEEE 1394 inputs. That means that you could record directly from a cable box or a digital video camera's Firewire port. Like a traditional VCR, more programming will fit on a disc at lower quality record levels. For example, the DVR 1600 will record 6 hours of programming in SLP mode, but much less in SHQ mode.
Also like a VCR, the DVR 1600 features live, timer, and scheduled recording functions. The on-screen disc title navigator makes it easy to quickly access your recordings and set up new programs.
Full-Function Progressive-Scan Player
The DVR 1600 is also a full-function progressive-scan DVD player, supporting the best functions of commercial DVDs, like zoom, slow motion forward, fast-forward, review, frame-by-frame, multi-angle, program play, bookmarks, and parental lock. As a player, it supports a variety of disc formats, including DVD+, DVD-, VCD/SVCD, and music formats CD-Audio and CD-R/RW.
