Hi

Thanks for all of your replying, especially from salaman.

I have just bought philips dvdr890 yesterday. Originally i would like to buy the sony one, but they told me i can not record the tv shows if i buy the private importated machine instead the one from sony company.

So far i am satisfied from philips one. But I have only tried dvd+rw for HQ and SP mode. I hope it can work well in the future.

Unfortunatelly this machine can not play Pal system of DVD. I am curious if the ones made in taiwan(China?) can do that or not?
