Philips DVDR985 Progressive-Scan DVD Recorder and Player
Philips DVDR985 is a $500 clock--in other words, it SUCKS!
BEWARE!!  I bought this hunk of junk in July '03.  One month after the one-year warranty expired, it quit.  \\"Disc error\\" after recording a three and a half hour football game!  Now I put a disc in, it says either \\"No disc\\" or something about the format being unrecognizable.  I put in a factory recorded disc--The Matrix--and I get \\"No disc.\\"  I haven't tried the firmware update yet, but from reading other reviews here, I have little faith it will work.  I agree with another fellow that Philips should recall these units.  They are complete JUNK!!!
