Philips DVDR520H DVD Recorder with 80 GB Hard Drive
Haven't used this model but know Phillips products
I haven't used this Phillips model but I owned a Phillips DVD/VCR once. Phillips has a history of good products such as their small stereo systems, or at least the one I have. I started with the stereo CD player and figured I would build from there. The next thing I bought was A DVD/VCR combo. Within 6mo. the VCR stopped working. <br />Well, I tought, no problem it had a 1 yr. warranty, so I took it to an \\"authorized repair shop\\". They informed me that I would have to send the unit, at my cost, to Phillips HQ to get a rebuilt replacement ( this was the way the warranty would cover it) In short this would be more expensive and hassel than to buy a new and different brand. My conclusion is Phillips helped create the light bulb then a few years later the compact disc. Anything past that they pretty much suck. Stick with what you know Phillips, and it 's not customer service or recorders. <br /> <br />Cal the Handiman
