Recordable DVD Media
Record your favorite shows onto DVD-RW, DVD-R, DVD-R DL, DVD+R, DVD+RW, and DVD-RAM DVD discs. It is also compatible with DVD-R Double layer media and provides up to 14 hours of media recording.

Don't worry about limited playback capabilities, this player can play DVD, DVD-RW (VR Mode), DVD-RW (Video Mode), DVD-R, DVD-R DL, DVD+R, DVD+RW, DVD-RAM, VCD and CD-DA discs. Also, you can play your favorite songs from CDs or MP3 files, and JPEG images.
High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI)
If you're looking to pump high-definition DVD playback into your HD displays or projectors, this player will do the job. It has a high-bandwidth processor capable of transferring 720p or 1080i through the HDMI outputs.

Progressive Scan
This is a progressive scan DVD player, capable of scanning an entire video frame at once; scan-lines commonly associated with interlaced video are drastically reduced. The result is a spectacularly clear image with no motion artifacts (stair-stepping), and details so sharp they seem as if they're etched onto the screen.

Simply connect your digital video camera to the DVR-550HS's DV input terminal, and you're ready to record images onto the internal hard disk drive or a DVD recordable disc.
