Are DVD recorders also good DVD players?
Besides all the recording features, DVD recorders are also excellent DVD players, just as with standard DVD players, basic units may not have all of the high-end bells and whistles, but most units have progresssive scan, component outputs, Dolby Digital, and DTS pass-through, CDR/RW, and VCD playback, just as any current DVD player would. Some units also have CD-MP3 and JPEG still photo playback as well. When you shop for a DVD recorder, also make sure it has the playback features you require.
