Philips DVD Recorder with 1080p Upconversion and HDMI

Some of you out there may not know that today is the twelfth day of Christmas. We wish we were you this year. Because, here at the offices, way back in September, we all decided we’d go for an old fashioned Christmas celebration that lasted for twelve days. It sounded like such a great idea at the time. We were all behind it.

But now, we really want to just sit down and watch a movie on our refurbished Philips DVD Recorder w/HDMI&1080p Upconvert. Only we can’t do that. Firstly, because of all those drummers drumming on the main floor. They’re very good, it’s just impossible to hear even with the Dolby Digital quality sounds. And before you suggest it, we did consider headphones, but the pipers piping really carries through the offices. What can we say, we’ve got good acoustics.

We also can’t go into the other rooms, because everyone is leaping and dancing. And you would not believe how much milk we’ve got in the warehouse right now. We thought about going out back and setting up the Philips DVD Recorder w/HDMI&1080p Upconvert to record the NTSC signal from the air, maybe right to a DVD+R or DVD-R disc, but swans are mean, mean birds. They basically took over back there and it’s really ugly what they’re doing to the geese. So we’re kind of out of options at this point.

We do like that the Philips DVD Recorder upconverts to allow for sharper images of normal recordings. We got a pretty nice camcorder when we sold off the gold rings and that plugs right in to the i.LINK digital input. We also can play DivX, MP3 and JPEG and there’s digital coaxial, composite video and HDMI in and out. And there is a remote, even though that might show up with some feathers on it from all the birds.

Unfortunately, the Philips DVD Recorder w/HDMI&1080p Upconvert does not work as a converter box, so when February rolls around, you’ll have to have some way to convert the signal before you can record it. We heard this directly from the hens. But if you’ve got digital cable, or one of those nifty little boxes, the Philips DVD Recorder w/HDMI&1080p Upconvert will continue to work fine. One might even go so far as to say it will be an absolute dove about it.

We hope when you get it home, you’ll find a nice, quiet place to enjoy a few movies with your Philips DVD Recorder w/HDMI&1080p Upconvert. We’ll be envying you. And keep an eye out, because we might have a sale on pears in the near future. It’s always nice when the holidays are finally over.
