Philips DVDR520H DVD Recorder with 80 GB Hard Drive
Defective product until you upgrade the firmware
I was concerned about purchasing this product after reading all the horror stories on this page, but decided to take a chance. Right out of the box the unit was fine, but a week later I began to experience problems with \\"freezing up\\" that would only go away if I unplugged the unit (Very Annoying). I went to the Philips website and found that a firmware upgrade existed, and I decided to take a chance. After the upgrade the unit works perfectly! I recommend you all upgrade the firmware immediately after purchasing.
