Philips DVDR985 Progressive-Scan DVD Recorder and Player
Effective but not so reliable
Ours went out thank goodness we bought the store's extended warranty.  Disc Error.  It took a while to repair it but the store gave us a similar model to use in the meantime. Now that it's back it's running fine so far. We shall see we have another 1.5 years on our extended warranty. It was a floor model so we're pretty happy with it thanks to the warranty.  Just wish it was a bit more reliable although since it came back it has been much more reliable, from 80% to like 95% I would expect maybe the firmware upgrades?
