Yeah it can....and also, it has a USB and FireWire port on in it too. The USB was a nice "didn’t notice it" feature. To get USB on the Pioneer, you have to go to the top model which is jut crazy in my mind. Although, it doesn’t play the DivX off USD, only MP3's and Photos. I just put an old HD into an unused external HD case and then load all my MP3's and photos on to it, and then plugged it in.
P.S the model I got was DVDR3455H Jeremy -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Robert martin Sent: 10 April 2007 09:55 To: NZ Borland Developers Group - Offtopic List Subject: Re: [DUG-Offtopic] G-Code Generator Thanks Jeremy I must say I would be tempted to get it for $450 (nice deal). I also quite liked the styling of the Phillips. I have heard that the Pioneer and Panasonic are very good. Although i think the Panasonic looks a bit retro ! I will do a bit more research I think. But the phillips actually sounds fine to me. I take it from you comments that it can play Divx / AVIs, just not when recording to the HDD ?
