I'm thinking of buying a Philips DVDR 3570 H DVD recorder, can anyone tell me if this is a digital or analogue unit??

Thanks

Thanks

to the forum. Looking at the google links to it, I would say, most definitely digital. I will take a bow and wait to be corrected

Hi there, its own tuner is actually analogue I am afraid, if that is the info you are after. Oddly enough Philips don't seem to point that out anywhere except in the manual!
I bought one about a week ago and am very happy with it so far. If you have a digibox it should be able to connect to it via a scart if you happen to be in a non analogue signal region. I live in a pretty non digital area ... I am not totally convinced we're ever going to go all digital really but anyway ...
Not had a chance to write to dvd yet but HDD function is brilliant.
Lots of other models out there ... this is very slim and the record/playback lights are so cool (of course that is not a serious buying point right ). Got progressive scan and comp video, pity we got a non SCART TV! (yeah, its really that old!). On our tv picture looks great even on SLP (low quality supposedly).

Hope that helps.

Yup analog, I have had the next one up to this with a 250gb drive for the last 10 months. Excellent machine although IMO the remote could have been a little better designed, the machine can be slow to boot and the menu system can be sluggish.

Yeah I'll second the slowness of the remote especially. Trying to set times, you can wait for it to scroll the digits round ... but only like 1 digit every 20 seconds! Far quicker to give yourself RSI and keep pumping the button!
