Philips Electronics Australia is proud to announce the availability of two new DVD recorders with hard disk, the DVDR5570H and the DVDR5520H, which feature built-in digital SD tuners with 250GB/160GB hard disk drives respectively.

Philips’ DVD recorders with hard disk also come equipped with Dual Media ensuring recordings can be made on any format of disk and can playback on any DVD player.
All Philips Hard Disk Recorders feature High Definition technology and a range of connectivity options to provide the best possible picture and sound.

Each recorder also comes standard with the HDD Media Jukebox feature, providing the tools to create a digital media jukebox right in the living room. Movies, music, and photos can be quickly and conveniently transferred onto the recorder’s built-in hard disk via USB or disk to share with family and friends. The 2-way USB allows consumers to also transfer digital files from HDD to a USB flashdrive and enjoy content on the go. Philips goes one step further with i.LINK connectivity, which makes it possible to directly connect a camcorder to view and record personal memories.
Philips remains committed to the goal of providing consumers with home entertainment products that are easy to experience, demonstrated by features such as One Touch Pause Live TV and One Touch Recording.
