DVD recorder with our A/V receiver and flat screen TV, for example, and HDMI's all-digital signal processing gives you superior pictures and sound

—with no loss. It does this by allowing transmission of both audio and video signals with no D/A or A/D conversion, through easy single-cable connection. The DVR-660H and DVR-560H feature 1080 digital output, to deliver pictures in the highest resolution.

Disc Navigator

Finding recorded programmes is easier than ever. Just scroll through the thumbnails (with sound) of the videos. Choose between 4 titles or 8 titles display mode.
