Philips DVDR985 Progressive-Scan DVD Recorder and Player
DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT!!!
I bought this Recorder for Christmas last year (02).  I am writing this on 8/27/03.  The recorder function has never worked properly.  I have had it in for service at the Philips Service Center and twice have waited 6 weeks for upgrade discs.  None of this has worked, Philips refuses to do anything about it other than send me back to the Service Center for the second time.  Did I mention that the Service Center keeps it for 2 - 3 months?  AWFUL CUSTOMER SERVICE FROM PHILIPS makes me warn all of you not only to avoid this expensive paper weight, but I strongly urge all of you to not to buy Philips products at all based on the level of customer support I have been given by this company.  Keep in mind that I have been going back and forth with the SAME ISSUE for NINE MONTHS and still no resolution.
