Philips DVDR985 Progressive-Scan DVD Recorder and Player
Philips has troubles
A year ago I ordered a Philips DVDR 1500. Lots of troubles from the start. Sent back to service after 1 month for a new motor. About a year later I sent it back again because of several error messages on the screen. They replied that they are discontinuing the DVDR-1500 and they will replace it with a DVDR-985. The DVDR 985 arrived on Monday. I burned one DVD... by Thursday it too was dead. I called technical support they are going to replace this one also. Now I see all over the web that Philips is having lots of trouble with DVD recorders. Good luck if you buy this. Pioneer is the best at DVD recorders.
