Mitsubishi steps into the void with a pair of 500GB DVR-BZ200 and 250GB
DVR-BZ200 Blu-ray recorders.
Both feature support for Blu-ray's AVCREC specification allowing them to record
about 2 hours of Full HD (1,920 x 1,080) content in MPEG4 AVC/H.264 format
direct to standard 4.7GB DVDs.

The good: Jukebox mode rips, stores and plays audio CDs, MP3 and WMA files; records to all types of DVD; ample 250GB of hard drive space; USB for viewing photos and PictBridge printing; upscales DVDs via HDMI to 720p or 1080i.

The bad: Long Play recordings are jittery and jagged; no EPG functionality.

The bottom line: A decent upgrade from a VCR but the lack of digital tuner means picture and sound quality of free-to-air broadcasts are not improved.
