I have two of these Philips DVD machines between 3 and 4 years old. Both now refuse to read about 50% of recorded +RW discs even when they have just been recorded on the same machine. A caption appears informing me that either the disc 'contains unrecognizable material' or that it is an empty disc. ...

Generally good to operate if you have a controller and good quality recording even if you put low quality recording on.

The Philips DVD-R75 seemed good value at the time of purchase. It was the only unit for the price that offered i-link DV IEEE1394 fire wire input socket. From day one I had intermittent recording errors. After 18 months, it wouldn't record or playback at all. They wanted £81 to repair it. I wo ...

I purchased the Philips DVD-R75 DVD Recorder 2 1/2 years ago. The first problem (disc error/wouldn't record) surfaced at the 1 year point. I had the unit repaired and it worked fine until recently when the same issue occurred. Cost of repair exceeds that of a new unit so it is now scrap. Stay away f ...

I bought 2 Philips DVD-R75 DVD recorders for myself and my daughter 2 years ago, and I have had nothing but trouble with them. I get a disc error - empty disc, and a load of nonsense appears, when the disc plays perfectly well on a friend's Goodmans machine.

No more Philips for this family! ...

The Philips DVD-R75 DVD recorder worked well for 11 months, then the record light was permanently on, and the front display was blank. It was away for approximately 4 weeks.

After a few months a disk error was displayed after 2 hours of recording. The disc error now comes on after 1 hour of reco ...

A little over a year I began getting disk error on brand new disks, and my Philips DVD-R75 won't record any more. I have called twice, and they say it will cost $189 to repair it. I can purchase one cheaper than that. The product is inferior, and they should recall it. Another person buoght this pro ...

At first I was pleased with the unit. It worked well. But, over time, (1 year), it began to have trouble. The machine would say every disk was empty even though it was full. I tried new firmware. Nothing worked. Quality was just not there with this machine.

I am a Philips fan, having always found their products dependable (I have owned most things from radio alarm clocks (1982 and still going strong) to TVs (had one for six years and upgraded for no real reason to a Hitachi which required no end of repairing from the moment the guarantee ran out), so I ...
