Plays DivX, MP3, WMA and JPEG digital camera photos

Play virtually any media format you want - whether it is DivX, MP3, WMA or JPEG. Experience the unbeatable convenience of great playability and the luxury of sharing media files on your TV or home theatre system - in the comfort of your living room.

DivX Ultra Certified for enhanced playback of DivX videos

With DivX support, you can enjoy DivX encoded videos in the comfort of your living room. The DivX media format is an MPEG4-based video compression technology that enables you to save large files such as movies, trailers and music videos on media, e.g. CD-R/RW and DVD recordable discs. DivX Ultra merges DivX playback with great features including integrated subtitles, multiple audio languages, multiple tracks and menus into one convenient file format.

HDMI 1080i with high definition video upscaling

HDMI stands for High Definition Multimedia Interface. It is a direct digital connection that can carry digital HD video as well as digital multi-channel audio. By eliminating the conversion to analogue signals it delivers perfect picture and sound quality, completely free from noise. HDMI is fully backwards-compatible with DVI (Digital Video Interface).

Integrated Freeview tuner and analogue TV reception

With the Hybrid TV Tuner, you can watch any programme - whether it is a digital or analogue broadcast. While the broadcast industry makes its transition to digital, the Hybrid TV Tuner lets you watch analogue transmissions now, and any up and coming digital ones. You receive seamless entertainment - now and into the future.

Progressive Scan component video for optimised image quality

Progressive Scan doubles the vertical resolution of the image resulting in a noticeably sharper picture. Instead of sending a field comprising the odd lines to the screen first, followed by the field with the even lines, it writes both fields at the same time. A full image is created instantaneously, using the maximum resolution. At such a speed, your eye perceives a sharper picture with no line structure.

VIDEO Plus+ for quick and easy programming

With the VIDEO Plus+ system, all you need to do to programme your video recorder is to enter the "Pluscode" – a single code of up to nine digits (but usually fewer) that is printed next to each TV programme in most TV guides.

Dual Media conveniently records on DVD+-R/RW, DVD+R DL

Philips DVD Recorders support 'dual media' recording - the ability to create recordings on DVD+R/RW, DVD-R/RW and DVD+R DL discs. Now you can buy any disc and the Philips recorder will always create fully compatible recordings that can be played by any DVD player.

On-screen TV guide for intuitive recording

There are hundreds of programmes at our disposal each week. Unfortunately, it is never easy to find out what interesting shows are in store. The on-screen TV guide provides a clear and concise list of TV programmes that will be broadcast. It ensures you find what you need quickly and conveniently and allows you to immediately choose the programmes you want to record. There's no easier way to watch TV than with the on-screen TV guide.

USB Direct plays photos and music from USB flash drives

Simply plug your device into the USB port on your Philips DVD system. Your digital music and photos will be played directly from the device. Now you can share your favourite moments with family and friends.
