DVDR730

Product Highlights

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

RGB Component Video Input
RGB Component Video is the inter-connection standard 
for analog video with the highest quality -- sharper than 
S-video and composite video.
Philips DVD recorders can record directly from RGB 
sources such as satellite receivers.

8 hours recording
The 8-hour record mode available on specific DVD 
recorder models lets you record up to eight hours of 
video on one single-sided DVD+RW/+R disc.

Digital Photo Manager/Recorder
Digital Photo Manager is a powerful picture browser 
in a DVD player or recorder that provides a simple 
and intuitive on-screen interface and an array of photo 
management features. 
It shows thumbnail views or slide shows of your pictures 
on the TV screen. You can edit your pictures (rotate, flip, 
tint control, filtering) and zoom in on any details.

Media Slot
Media Slot is a simple card solution, giving you instant 
access to digital pictures from various memory card 
formats like Compact Flash, Memory Stick, SD card and 
MultiMedia Card via a PCMCIA adaptor.

i.LINK
Also known as IEEE 1394 and FireWire. i.LINK is the 
worldwide standard for connecting digital video devices, 
used on digital home video equipment such as DV and 
D8 camcorders, as well as PCs. Conveniently, it carries 
all audio and video signals via a single cable.
With i.LINK Digital Video input you cam copy your 
home videos in their original digital picture quality.
