Teac PVR-160T: Compare prices

By David Braue on 23/06/2006

More TEAC reviews , RRP: AU$799.00

The good:

  • Clean, smooth picture
  • USB link allows MP3 and picture files to be stored on the unit's hard drive
  • Dual tuners allows recording on one digital TV channel and watching another
  • Easy-to-use interface

The bad:

  • Basic external display not very informative
  • No memory card slot for transferring photos and music
  • 15-second video skip makes fast-forwarding an exercise in patience
  • USB 1.1-only means video downloads are painfully slow
  • Conversion process for burning video files onto DVD not documented

The bottomline:

The Teac PVR-160T isn't brimming with cutting-edge features, but it offers the usual assortment of PVR, picture and MP3 capabilities in an effectively packaged box that makes it a worthwhile investment for anybody investing in standard-definition digital TV.
