You can take advantage of the "Time-shift" function with this DVD player/recorder with integrated 160GB hard disk: a buffer memory allows you to return to the start of a live broadcast program or to pause it while recording the rest of it to avoid missing anything.
You can save up to 260 hours of programmes on the device's hard disk or even burn them on DVD afterwards.

With an extreme simplicity of use, it allows you to record directly from the electronic programme guide by simply pressing twice on the remote control.

The DTH 8657E DVD player/recorder also features an HDMI digital connection and benefits from digital processing which allows you to increase the image resolution of your DVDs for high-definition display on an HD-Ready screen.

It can read DivX and Mpeg-2 video files from burned CDs or DVDs. It also features two USB 2.0 ports: one on the front for connecting, for example, an USB flash drive or a MP3 player to transfer your favourite music tracks, and another one on the back for connecting, for example, an external hard disk to increase the storage capacity. Similarly, the DV connector can be used to link a camcorder to transfer and burn personal videos.
