DVD Recorders Thrive in Company With VHS Players, TVs, Hard Discs

摘要

For some time, manufacturers have been offering DVD recorders for recording onto DVD-RAMs, rewritable DVDs (DVD-RWs) or DVD+RWs. Manufacturers have also offered DVD recorders containing hard disc drives, as well as models in combination with VHS format VCRs. The trend to combine products has even led to the marketing this year of at least one three-in-one product combining a VHS VCR, a hard disc drive and a DVD recorder in one unit. Meanwhile, since last fall, manufacturers have also started to offer combination products that bring together a recording device with a CRT TV and a recording device with a home theater system. Similar systems with a thin LCD TV or plasma display panel (PDP) TV have also appeared.
