Philips DVDR985 Progressive-Scan DVD Recorder and Player
I own 3 - Here's the scoop
Here's what you really need to know about this unit.  The early production models have problems that result in \\"Disc Error\\" while recording.  I have had two units go bad. One the store exchanged. The other, which was 7 months old, Philips cheerfully replaced with a brand new unit.  All three of my units now turn out high volume reliably.  As for quality, the firewire input results in digital noise in the black areas due to conversion to MPEG2.  The S-Video input provides better (near perfect) results.  If you are copying a DVD and use the Component inputs (to my surprise) the resulting copy is indistinguishable from the original.  My third unit I bought as an open box special from Best Buy for $149. It also didn't record but Philips repaired it under warranty.  I am extremely happy with the units and with Philips support of the product.
