General Comments

Paid a ridiculous amount of money for my Philips DVD R880 in Nov 02 but was really impressed. Good picture, good sound. I could even work the timer.

Fast forward 2 years and it's not so good. Pretty bad really. Not one single pre-recorded DVD will play. No Disc. No Disc. No Disc. My 4-old (and almost 1/4 of the price) PS2 sits there laughing at it.

Tried Philips Customer services - took the women 10 minutes to say in 50 different ways that it is not their problem, that if I had reported it earlier they would have repaired it. What? I should have reported a working product before it went belly up? It's all my fault because I didn't predict the thing would pack in after 2 years?

If they had any shred of decency they would recall the product (along with the R890 & R980).

Just avoid it.
