Mine went wrong in the first 12 months but got it repaired under the warranty. Basically the DVD recorder stopped reading all discsclaiming they were empty when in fact they had previously been recorded onto. The repair job sorted it but now it has gone again.

The Philips DVD-R80 DVD recorder gave me disc error, after disc error, and I was unable to synchronise my Sky system to it.

First impressions were good. Nice looking player especially ...

I bought the Philips DVD R80 DVD Recorder as a means of keeping stuff permenantly, working in tandem with a Sky+ satellite reciever. All I can say is that the R80 is perfectly suited to this role. The connectitvity from Sky+ to R80 to (widescreen) TV is RGB/Scart throughout, and consequently highe ...

When you place chapter markers on a DVD+R disc they can only be recognised by the Philips DVD R80 DVD Recorder itself. No other machine (including Philips players) will recognise them. Apparently it is OK if you use DVD+RW discs but you can't finalise them.

Some people won't mind this problem, i ...

I have had this Philips DVD R80 DVD Recorder for 6 months now, picture quality is outstanding and sound quality excellent.

Very easy to use, program and set up using guide plus or manual setup.
