IFA 2008 – Philips Introduces New Hard Disk Recorders
Consumer electronics heavyweight Philips is launching two new DVD-hard disk recorders at this year’s IFA. The new models (dubbed HDR3800 and HDR3810) differ only in their hard disk capacity. The HDR3800 comes with a 160 GB drive, while the HDR3810 offers 250 GB of recording space. Other than that, according to the specs, the hardware is identical.
Both units offer a number of convenient functions. For example, the user can pause the show that is running while it is being recorded as well as repeat or save certain sections. An electronic program guide (EPG) that can be used to record shows is also included. On today’s hard disk recorders, these are considered standard features. Both units also support 1080p High-Definition HDMI.
Specs:
- TV-Functions: Pause Live TV, Instant Replay, FlexTime
- Supported Media: CD-R/RW, DVD+R DL, DVD+R/+RW, DVD-R/-RW, USB-Flash drive, Kodak Picture CD

The Philips recorders will be available as of September. They will cost €350 (HDR3800) and €400 (HDR3810).
