This machine did not hold up.
Those of you new to the DVD recording world will be pleased to know that the Phillips DVD-R985 does everything it is supposed to do in a format that is more user friendly than the DVR-R format.
Although there as been some talk on the net about having to get new "firmware" to make this...

Philips DVDR985 Recorder: A Keeper
I bought one of these machines from Circuit City in June 2003. Paid about $ 270. It was in close competition with a comparably-priced recorder (DVD-R/-RW) from Panasonic.
I've been waiting a long time for a DVD recorder to transfer 8mm video onto. Been waiting for the price to come down,...

Keep Clear of This Expensive Unreliable Philips Disaster!
When I got this recorder 2 years ago for $700 I was so excited. It had component inputs, firewire, audio meter and so on. Over time my love affair went very sour and the recorder divorced me. I soon had Red disk error messages flashing as I recorded. Those really mean that your disk it over now -... Read full review »
Getting closer to VCR replacement
This unit was the first DVDR I tried. Keep in mind in Spring 2003 will be replaced by DVDR-80 in USA. This unit (985) is called the 880 in Europe. Also called the 985A in America.
Some background for those new to DVD recording first, because this is critically important.

Dont Buy!! Philips or Magnavox Junk
Philips/Magnavox is horrible. Look at the Cnet reviews for my broke DVDR985 recorder. Look at Ebay for all the 50$ broke recorders. I paid 800$ for a piece of junk. People are fed up with this thing and have moved to better stuff. The firmware update crashed my unit and Philips sent me to their... Read full review »
Not Ready for Prime Time...Be Patient
I'm a technology freak. I drool over the latest and greatest. I can only plead insanity for purchasing this Philips DVDR in January. $600 is a lot of money for my student budget, but I had just purchased a TiVo and wanted to get the movies off of TiVo and onto DVDs. My rationale for buying this... Read full review »
Philips finally worked out the bugs
I was hesitant to buy a DVD recorder due to all of the compatibility issues of playing DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R, and DVD+RW on older DVD players. I was also hesitant because of the negative reviews for Philips and Panasonic DVD recorders. I liked the Panasonic DVD recorder that allows you to record to... Read full review »

Wish there was a class-action for this POS DVDR985
I, too, have had several errors with the Philips DVDR985 unit. Like others, it worked flawlessly during the warranty period. Thankfully, I opted for an extended warranty when I initially purchased my unit. It stopped recording to +R disks. After contacting tech support, I was told the same rah-rah... Read full review »
Don't buy this unit!!!!
I bought one with the original firmware before it started freezing up. I called tech support, got the address to the repair station which was 1 hour away from my home. I took the unit in and within 3 weeks had it back. It worked fine for another 3 weeks and then started making coasters again. This... Read full review »
