Philips DVDR77 DVD Recorder
Does not record DVD+RW
I had high hopes for this device, but unfortunately it does not recognize DVD+RW discs as advertised. I tried several brands of DVD+RW media including the Philips DVD+RW that came with the recorder. The recorder gets stuck with 'reading' on the display and never lets you erase or record. When it gets stuck in this state, you can't even bring up the menu. It's either a broken design or crap quality (defective). Either way, if you want a DVD recorder that actually records DVDs, look elsewhere.
