Cons Phillips does not have the bugs out of this one. Try another brand.
Recommended it? No

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... Read full review »

Philips DVDR985 Recorder: A Keeper

byychromosome Sep 13, 2003
12 Helpfuls 13 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Worked well right out of the box. Stable. Produces DVDs with high quality video
Cons Lousy manual, confusing and hard to use remote, and baffling on-screen menus
Recommended it? Yes

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,... Read full review »

Pros None.
Cons I had two machines, neither worked properly. Overheats easily.
Recommended it? No

This will be a very short review as my experience with a WORKING Cyberhome 1600 is very limited. I purchased one in May '05 at my neighborhood Best Buy.

I tried to transfer footage from my DV Camcorder, but ran into problems right away. The machine must format the DVD+R disc before... Read full review »

Pros Inexpensive, good instruction manual.
Cons Poorly made, remote would not work properly, entire unit broke after 6 weeks.
Recommended it? No

I purchased the Cyberhome DVR 1600 DVD Recorder at my local Best Buy in March. I was confident that I was buying a good product because # 1 – it's coming from Best Buy and # 2 – I have a compact Cyberhome DVD player that has worked fine for a couple of years. I needed a new DVD player to replace a... Read full review »
