On DVD Recording

Well, as the box claims this thing is a "DVD RECORDER", I guess I should start reviewing this beast as a "DVD RECORDER". To put it bluntly, I hate it, as a dvd recorder. I find my wife's computer (with a DVD R/W drive and gobs more hard disk storage space) to be much more... Read full review »

Pros Can watch a recorded program while it records something else
Cons THE TV GUIDE FEATURE

Then things started going awry. More on that below.

What I really like about this DVR is that I can watch something I recorded to the hard drive while it's recording something else. Love, love this... Read full review »

An Excellent product in my opinion

Pros 160GB Hard Drive Ten minute transfer to DVD
Cons No TVGOS (but never had it) Need Too many screen selections
Recommended it? Yes

I tried several DVRs without hard drives and then bought this one, which has a 160GB. It is a dream to use, but the learning curve is steep. It took me a long time to discover that I could edit and erase portions of whatever I had on the drive, so that I could be commercial free on DVD, but after I... Read full review »

VERY HAPPY

Pros Huge 160 GB hard drive Fantastic picture quality
Cons If TVGOS isn't available manual recording can be a pain
Recommended it? Yes

I took the plunge and bought the 633H-S 6 months ago. I love the 160 gb hard drive. When I make recording's of TV shows in the XP or SP mode you can't tell they're not live. The TVGOS (TV guide on screen) was a bit of a problem as it wasn't available in my area (NYC) till last Fri. It's made... Read full review »

Chock full of features, very difficult to use

byajgeb Jan 21, 2006
3 Helpfuls 4 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Very strong editing capabilities. Large hard drive.
Cons Almost unbelievable difficult and unintuitive to use.
Recommended it? No

I primarily purchased this unit to copy old VCR tapes, and possibly edit the commercials, and to record special events, and then go back and record them to disk WITHOUT the commercials (e.g Olympic Games, Super Bowl-although you may WANT those commercials)! I have a digital Comcast Cablevision... Read full review »

DVR-633H-S

bybrewster60425 Jun 17, 2006

Pros Excellent manual DVR capabilities.
Cons Bad TV-guide feature. Frequently fails to make high speed DVD copies.
Recommended it? No

The manual Digital Video Recorder (DVR) features of the Pioneer 633 are excellent.

There are some problems with the unit that the average person might consider minor, such as audio drop-out at the end of a deleted segment. The TV-Guide feature is somewhat convoluted. And finally, the unit... Read full review »

Good Product, Unusual Quirks

bynutotech Jan 1, 2006
2 Helpfuls 3 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 2 Comments
Pros Lots of hard disk space, flexible programming options, easy to create DVD's
Cons TV Guide feature doesn't work; strange audio drop-outs ruin recordings
Recommended it? No

I have "taped" a number of shows with the DVR-633H-S to the HD and for the most part I'm happy. But the TV Guide thing is for crap. It is suppose to pick up all the information from your cable box so that recording is simply "click on the program." But it hasn't/doesn't work that way with my cable... Read full review »
