Introducing the CyberHome CH-DVR 1500, a versatile DVD+R and DVD+RW recorder and player that stands out for its affordability and high-performance features. This device is perfect for recording your favorite TV programs, archiving home videos, and enjoying movies on high-definition or HD-ready televisions.
The CH-DVR 1500 allows users to record onto DVD+R and DVD+RW discs, which are designed for easy on-disc editing and offer the flexibility of auto or manual chapter marking. With this recorder, you can create high-quality recordings that last up to six hours per disc, depending on the selected resolution. The highest-quality setting allows for one hour of exceptional clarity, making it an excellent choice for preserving those important moments.
One of the key features of the CH-DVR 1500 is its built-in NTSC tuner, which enables you to record off-air TV programs. With advanced scheduling capabilities, you can set up to eight events for future recording, ensuring you never miss your favorite shows. The device also allows for live recording, giving you the freedom to capture spontaneous moments as they happen.
Editing your recordings has never been easier. The DVD+RW format permits you to edit on-the-fly, meaning you can add or remove segments before finalizing your disc. This provides a user-friendly experience akin to using a VHS tape, but without the need for tedious rewinding or fast-forwarding. The DVD+R format also allows for editing, but keep in mind that once you burn a segment, you cannot reclaim that space, so plan accordingly.
The CH-DVR 1500 features front-panel composite and S-video inputs, making it easy to connect camcorders and other video devices. The 9-bit analog-to-digital encoding ensures that your recordings maintain high quality. An on-screen disc title navigator offers quick access to your recordings, enhancing user experience further.
This recorder is not just limited to recording. As a player, it supports a wide range of formats including DVD+R, DVD+RW, DVD-Video, DVD-R, VCD, SVCD, and CD-R/CD-RW. It even plays CDs filled with MP3 music files, making it a multifunctional device for all your media needs.
With progressive scanning technology, the CH-DVR 1500 doubles the scan lines of an interlaced signal, producing seamless, flicker-free images. This results in film-like DVD playback with remarkable detail and vibrant colors, enhancing your viewing experience on any high-definition television.
Connections are made simple with composite and S-video outputs, and the choice of either PAL or NTSC video output ensures compatibility with various monitor types. The unit includes an RF passthrough for TV tuning, utilizing the onboard NTSC tuner for channel signals.
For those using older televisions lacking composite-video inputs, an RF modulator will be necessary for connection. This device comes with everything you need right out of the box, including a remote control, batteries, AC power cord, audio/video interconnects, an RF splitter, user manual, warranty information, and three blank DVD+RW discs along with a disc holder.
The CyberHome CH-DVR 1500 is designed to meet your recording and playback needs seamlessly, combining convenience and functionality in one affordable package. Whether you’re looking to preserve home videos, record TV shows, or enjoy your favorite movies, this DVD recorder/player is an exceptional choice.
