"P.O.S. P.O.S. P.O.S. P.O.S."
Pros: burning DVDs is nice
Cons: Remote is Cryptic, No Disk errors, Tons of Coasters
Summary: It took forever to figure out how to do anything with the remote - and it is not designed for the common tasks you would use the remote for!
Though it will read -R and +R formats it will only burn to +R. Which +R brand DVDs will it burn to? - I've had mixed results will a broad range of media... sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't -- even with their own brand of DVD media. Sometimes it will not recognize a disk at all, other times it will let you start burning then stop in the first 30 seconds and crash the player - then other times it will record everything and then fail during finalization... with a "Disk Error" message. I've probably thrown away 1 disk for every one I've burned... not to mention the various stacks of non-compatible DVDs.
As others have said, it will fail to recognize some purchased DVDs (that are brand new and have never been viewed) -sometimes it jumps and skips on DVDs that work perfectly on other machines.
This product sucks, as does their tech support (I'm reluctant to say that they even have tech support). It is a shame that this product is so flawed and Philips is ruining their brand by turning a blind eye on the consumers who have purchased it... just as others have said, I don't think I'll buy another product from this company.
Don't buy this DVD Recorder, you will be sorry.

I have had nothing but problems with Dvd Recorder In the past 4 or 5 years that I have had this thing it may have worked about five times and that is to view dvd's not to burn so if I cannot watch them how can I burn them.
