Magnavox MDR867H HD DVR DVD Recorder

Overview

Magnavox builds the MDR867H as a disc player for a TV or home theater setup. A single HDMI connection carries the picture and sound to the screen, and playback runs at 1080p Full HD. The black chassis is meant to sit with the rest of your gear.

Buyers who only need discs to play on a screen will find the basics covered here: a Blu-ray media type and an HDMI output. What the listing does not cover is the wider format picture, since disc formats, upscaling, HDR and streaming apps are all absent. Treat it as a disc player, not a media hub, and confirm your discs and display match before ordering.

Who it's for

A living room or bedroom setup where discs are the source and the TV handles the picture. The HDMI link simplifies the wiring. Shoppers who want apps, HDR or format details listed up front should look elsewhere, since those facts are missing here.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

Playback quality depends on the disc and the display the HDMI cable feeds. With no upscaling or HDR listed, the player sends its output as stated and the screen does the rest of the work.
