RE: Philips DVDR890 problems - help!!!!!!!!!!!!

Have you tried updating to the latest firmware available on www.dvdplusrw.org

RE: Philips DVDR1000

Incidentally, what is the problem with the laser unit. and what`s the chances of the new unit having the same problems as the one being replaced.

RE: Philips DVDR1000

Thanks, it`s being returned to the retailer on Monday where it will then go off to Philips for repair. How long is reasonable for a repair of this nature??

RE: Philips DVDR1000

My R1000 has similar problems.

It often refuses to play Region 2 DVD`s at all (even thought it is a Region 2 and was bought with a Region 1 hack). Continues to play Region 1 ok and DVD+RW`s recorded from the TV, but R2 either come up "No Disc" or it spends ages spinning around before it eventually ejects the DVD.

It`s currently running the latest Philips firmware also. If the DVD player is left unplugged for about 24 hours it will play Region 2 DVD`s again for a few days.

If it needs a new laser unit do Philips do this free of charge if the 12 month warranty has expired. It was purchased in Jan 2003.
