Philips DVDR985 Progressive-Scan DVD Recorder and Player
Never again
When I first purchased this product (over a year ago), it worked fine for about a year. Soon I began to get intermittent error messages, and I even tried upgrading the the firmware. Like others have reported here it just freezes up and takes several re-starts to read a disc it just recorded. Funny thing is if I put the newly recorded disc in another machine it plays just fine! I am now looking to buy a new DVD recorder since this one is utterly worthless. <br />And just the icing on the cake, it won't even play new commercial DVD movies most of the time. I will never buy another Phillips product again even if they did the right thing and recall this defective piece of junk.<br />One last rant, customer sevice = NO customer service.
