Philips DVDR985 Progressive-Scan DVD Recorder and Player
A lemon by all standards!
At $963.83 on May 25, 2002 I bought this product, that now sells for less than half the price I paid. Since the very beginning, this diabolic machine gave us trouble with its tendency to perform in unusual ways (as compared with the similar DVD players we own). Now, it has ceased to function entirely due to (what the repair man confirms) is a set of instructions programmed by Philips to render the machine useless to its very owner... Great!<br />Don't buy this trash, which I'm using as a test of amazon.com's reliability and good will to its naive customers.
