Philips DVDR985 Progressive-Scan DVD Recorder and Player
Not sure yet
I've had my DVDR985 for a little over a year now and I too have started getting disk error messages following the finalizing of the disk.  I had been throwing them away at that point but have recently found that if I remove the disk and shut the unit off, upon startup it recognizes the disk and things seem well. So I'm not sure if I'm on the slippery slope toward total failure or what.  From what I've been reading I'm thinking I'm doomed.  I bought a three year service contract and am close to handing it over for &quot;repairs&quot; whatever that might be.  It sounds like no one knows for sure.  I have found that it is sensitive to the particular brand of disk you use.  The Verbatium disks give me major problems but Fuji disks seem very stable, they are all +R's  not RW's.
