Philips DVDR985 Progressive-Scan DVD Recorder and Player
A Major Disappointment
I have to echo many of the bad reviews here.  I bought this recorder in June 2003.  After about 5 months, I noticed it had trouble playing regular DVDs (could not locate PBS clock, disc error, etc.), then it starting shutting off when recording DVD+Rs.  Now it seems its only use is a doorstop.  What a shame, and shame on you, Philips, for promoting such a defective product.  I will never buy another Philips product again.
