This Sony DVD multichanger is great.  It joined the line-up Dec, 2003.  SuperAudio CDs sound fabulous on it, and is mainly what I use it for.

The Philips DVD Recorder has been somewhat ignored.  I use the built in TV tuner and really don't record much.  Mainly the built in TV guide is not supported by the local cable station--the program lineups are all wrong.  So it has been a disappointment for its intended use.  Maybe it will work when I move.  I do use it as my main DVD player and it does outstanding, as it should, for that utilization.
