    Won't record constantly going wrong - even bought a second one in hope that could not be as bad - IT WAS.
    Philips promised on FIVE ocassions to sent new software CD - again never arrived - will never buy another Philips.

    I don't think the Philips DVD-R880 was worth the £400 my wife paid for my xmas present.

    Philips have developed a reputation for supplying DVD recorders that fail after only minimal use. My own recorder was used only a dozen times in 3 years before displaying countless error messages and finally giving up the ghost. Philips wanted a minimum payment of £120 just to look at the ma ...

    When I bought the Philips DVD-R880 DVD recorder, I thought because it was made by Philips it would be reliable. I have many Philips products, all with no problems except this heap of rubbish. Yes the notorious Philips DVD-R880. My friend and I both bought one, his started to freeze and stopped reco ...

    I have been a long time admirer and buyer of Philips goods,30yrs or more but after my experience with DVD 880,and may I add, I am not over enthusiastic with the VCR 830 which isn't powerful enough to pull many tapes through and I need to buy only the most expensive tapes to allow it to function,no m ...

    The Philips DVD-R880 is the worst piece of audiovisual eqipment I have ever bought. It hangs while recording and does not play back commercial DVDs. I bought about two years ago. Like other reviewers here I blamed dodgy discs during the guarantee year and failed to demand my money back in time. This ...

    To start

    DONT EVER BUY ONE OF THESE UNITS

    I'll leave it up to you if you want to buy Philips after reading this.

    I was given a working unit and it remained that way for a couple of months. After that, it refused to record anything and continually aborted with "DISC ERROR" or "DISK WARNING" ...

    The Philips DVD-R880 machine's worst and most recent fault: when in record mode, it not only fails but wipes everything else already on the disc. It has been a pain to use from new and now, at two years old, it will only playback discs it has previously recorded. Other discs either stick or are no ...

    Like many on this forum, I have had a Philips 880 DVD recorder for about 18 months, and it does seem to have a built in obsolescence (but then all digital technology has to keep people updating it!). I frequently get 'No Disc' or 'Unknown data contained on this disc', and jumping sections of chapter ...

    My Philips DVD-880 developed a fault, not reading disks, skipping chapters etc just weeks after the two year mark.
    To be honest it always struggled to read some disks but I foolishly blamed the disks.
    After many fruitless conversations with Philips, they flatly refused to look at it despite me sho ...
