Great piece of gear

If you hate to watch TV commercials, and want to watch a movie/sports event/documentary from the beginning while you are still taping the end ("chase play"), this is for you. Connected directly to cable input from the wall, you can record hours (and days) of shows to the hard drive from different channels while you are away (my VCR couldn't do this) - then save to DVD anything you want to keep (or erase anything not worth saving)....all without messing with video tape. You can watch things like golf tournaments and slow the playback to a frame at a time to see what's happening in a golf swing. The controller has a commercial skip function in 30 sec. segments - or with a little effort, you can edit out commercials permanently. It also can copy video tapes to DVD (and allows you to edit them), and has a digital camera input (IEEE 1394) on the front of the machine. The machine is complex - because it can do a great deal of things - so it requires some time to get up to speed on all its capabilities....but is worth the investment.

Recording TV programs and home movies just got way easier. The DVR-510H DVD Recorder/Player lets you record content onto an 80GB hard drive for temporary storage, or onto DVD for permanent storage, and here's the best part: it's a no-brainer.With the built-in 80GB hard drive you can record up to 80 hours of material - off the air, cable, or satellite, or your home movies - for short-term storage and viewing. You can keep the content on the hard drive for a day, a week, a year - it's up to you.Now: what if you want to keep material - a favorite show, a game, a home movie - for a longer period of time? Burn it onto a DVD-R (permanent; can't be erased) or DVD - RW (can be erased/written over many times). The DVR-510H features up to 24x record speed, so you'll be able to dub a 1-hour program to DVD in basic EP quality mode in approx. 2.5 minutes. Variable Bit Rate recording lets you choose the quality level/recording time. You can even record content to the hard drive while dubbing different content from the hard drive to a DVD. It's fast and easy, and the content remains in a digital state throughout, so the quality level is very high.For exceptional convenience, you can watch a show that you're recording onto the hard drive - and simultaneously dub it at high speed to DVD. Chase Play lets you watch, stop, or pause a show that you're recording. And the Advanced Disc Navigator makes setup easy and shows you full-motion thumbnails of your recorded material, so you can easily find the recording you'd like to play back.The DVR-510H features PureCinema 2: 3 Progressive Scan for a more film-like presentation when watching movies; a component video output for higher-quality signal transfer to your TV; and a convenient front-panel digital video input for easier connection to your digital camcorder.The DVR-510H also features Dolby Digital and DTS Digital surround sound outputs, plus CD, MP3, and WMA compatibility.
