Philips DVDR3355/37 DVD Recorder with 8 Hour Digital Video Recording
Not as advertised
I have emailed this to several sites, philips sure screwed the pooch on this one: <br /> <br />Thought you might be interested in my problem and possibly inform your readers. Last week a friend of mine ordered the Philips USA DVDR3355 at buy.com which is advertised as playing and recording all media formats(DVD-R/RW & DVD+R/RW). After receiving it, the machine would not recognize DVD-R disks. We consulted the acompaning manual and nowhere did it say it played DVD-R/RW only DVD+R/RW. Thinking it was a problem with the buy.com description we went to the philips website listing for the machine <br />which lists the same specs as the buy.com listing, so we called philips customer support, who after checking with an engineer told us that philips did not manufacture a machine capable of playing or recording DVD-R/RW. Obviously, somebody at philips screwed up really bad.  <br /> <br />Thanks <br />P.S.  <br />Althu Amazon does not advertise it as such, this player should support DVD-R/RW & DVD+R/RW <br />Just got the runaround from Philips support
