This DVD recorder arrived today after ordering it from Unbeatable.co.uk yesterday. Their website claims it is capable of outputting pal progressive scan, yet there are no component video outputs on the recorder. I was under the impression it had these as some folk on this site were recommending this particular do-it-all budget recorder.
As it outputs in RGB, is this really going to be a big problem? I'm new to this sort of thing and have component leads and a Toshiba SD-240E for playback with component but no optical out - would you advise I keep the Toshiba D-R3 and get a coax digital out for playback of disks in Toshiba SD-240E machine, or replace the recorder with something else, say Panasonic E55 which does have component video output?
I initially preferred the Toshiba model over the Panasonic owing to its support of DVD-RW, giving greater compatibility and flexibility than either DVD-RAM or DVD-R. So it's a trade-off decision and one I have to make myself, but the thoughts and recommendations of others would be appreciated.
