Can anyone advise if they have had any problems on the above DVD recorder. Since returning a Philips one (3rd time in 3 weeks) have been looking at this model. I`m a bit wary in view of recent experience/problems!
Any advice appreciated!
RE: Philips DVDR610
Wish I knew about this site before hand! Thought I had done fairly well in my research but obviously not!
Influencing my decision in getting another one is that I had already done a load of recordings using RW+ format (converting huge collection of videos to DVD that have collected off TV over the years that you still can`t buy on DVD) and also bought a load of blank RW+ dvds in the process. So I need to find a machine that a) will play the recordings I have already done and b) also record on the RW+ dvds I have left as have about 50!

Oh My goodness me! Have we had problems with the above DVD recorder. We are on our second machine in 3 weeks and that is going back tomorrow!
1st machine - When I wanted to open the drawer display kept flashing up opening/closing without actually doing anything!
Then during the 2nd week the drawer kept opening on it`s own accord with no intervention by me using the remote!!
Finally yesterday was recording, we heard a pop and that was it - only the time appeared and startup - wouldn`t let us do anything including giving us our DVD back!
2nd machine (picked up this morning) Can`t set the thing up - the leads were left in the same place from when we took the other machine out. Had the TV on AV as before but display kept asking is TV on! >:( Just about had enough. Anyone any suggestions or recommendations on choosing a different make DVD recorder as it would be most welcome!
