Are DVD recorders not good players?


I am not much of a video person..but have had it with my VHS recorder...and thought about getting a DVD recorder.

A question, all the highly rated DVD players are just that, players. Is there a compromise that keeps a DVD recorder from also being a good player?

Thanks

BEWARE- i got the panasonic dmre-85 hs w/120gb hard drive.
a very popular machine (the manual should keep you busy for a couple of days), but it needs VENTILATION, and a battery back-up (imo), as there are multiple warnings about voltage and power issues in the manual. think of it as a computer- don't even think about plugging it directly into the wall.
