Ultimate Set Top Box


Pioneer has cooked up a combo DVD recorder, VCR, and hard drive recorder box. This would definitely get the spot above my TV, except it's only availabe in Japan. Anyone going to Tokyo and can pick me up one?
Pioneer Corporation announced today the introduction in Japan of the DVR-RT7H, the company's first combination VHS/ DVD recorder with built-in HDD offering a variety of easy dubbing features among VHS, DVD and HDD.

The Japanese market for DVD recorders has been enjoying rapid growth, and the DVD recorder has become the standard video recording device for the home. Especially, a combination VCR with DVD recorder (including models with a built-in HDD) has captured as much as 40% of the market.

Pioneer's first 3-in-1 combination recorder is equipped with One-button Auto Dubbing feature, which allows easily converting video archives of VHS to DVD . The DVR-RT7H also contains a wealth of other DVD recording features, such as up to 24 hours of continuous recording onto a single-sided Dual Layer DVD -R ( DVD -R DL) disc(1) and a maximum of 100x dubbing (HDD to DVD -R), the fastest in the industry(2). Thus, this combination VHS/ DVD recorder can fully meet a wide range of customer needs.
