Guide Plus when works is OK BUT AS THE dvdr80 has trouble with days in the month needs checking to see at end of month if the date is still correct.
Bad Points
Instruction Booket next to useless, Constant crashes, Service Centre useless only advice given is to reset it or failing that return to Supplier.
General Comments
Now on my second replacement DVD R80 unit, no better than before constant crashing of unit, will not manually record, Disc Error comes up all the time. Anybody that is thinking of buying one BE WARNED, IT WILL GIVE YOU HIGH BLOOD PRESURE, GREY HAIRS ETC, THERE ARE MUCH BETTER dvd recorders out there, oh and by the way Philips have now replace this with a newer model stange after only being introduced to the market 9 -12 months ago

Amazon.com: Customer Reviews: Philips DVDR80 Progressive Scan DVD
I am on my fourth Philips DVD unit in less than two years. There is very little help from Philips, if it were not for the in-store warranty I would not have any working machine at this time.

Pleased to read these reviews, as we too have been victims of the Philips DVD-R80! Decided to buy a recorder as we hadn't rushed out to buy a DVD player on their arrival. Wish we had waited and not wasted £300 on a machine that has brought little satisfaction. It has to be the worse return on investment we have had. I note Philips don't even recognise the model number on their own website now. I wonder why?
Seems a recurring fault of frozen disk and no disk error - come on Philips own up and recall.
