Philips DVDR615 DVD Recorder
Wanting a refund
I had great expectations for this recorder.  I wanted to get away from the hassles of a VCR.  After reviewing several brands I decided that the Philips had good features for a good price.  After using it for 2 months I know why.  It is not only unreliable (at this point it often won't read the disks it recorded) but the way the menus work is cumbersome.  For example, resetting the clock (which loses a minute a week) requires negotiating  4 menus.  There are many more problems I could mention but won't.  Don't purchase this DVDR unless you are desperate.
