Philips DVDR985 Progressive-Scan DVD Recorder and Player
Piece of Crap
I bought a Phillips DVDr985 for $999 from a competitor.  I planned to use it in my business.  After selling the service of making DVDs directly from digital cameras to my clients, the largest client I have asked that I provide the service on one of their largest projects.  The very first time I used this machine,  I kept getting &quot;disk error&quot;.  I called Phillips, 5 times, and finally got them to admit that they would send an upgrade disk to me, which means that this thing had problems that they are trying to fix.  I told them I needed quicker service because of the client and they told me to download it from the net.  I did so, and still received a &quot;disk error&quot;.  Another call to Phillips...have to send the unit in to get repaired.  Call to retailer where purchased...yes you bought our service plan, but will have to send it in to get repaired.  The bottom line is that I have to go purchase another DVD recorder while this one, in warranty, is being repaired.  Bet you ass I will not buy one from this retailer or anything in the future with the name PHILLIPS on it.
