Philips DVD recorders "riddled with bugs"

The site lists machines failing to read disks, switching off while recording, a problem with the timer, machines locking up, and a multitude of other claimed defects.

Digital Spy said it is puzzled that the problems haven't yet reached the general media.

The article points to the DVDplusRW.org forum, where a series of polls on Philips DVDRs seem to confirm the existence of faults on the machines.

We'd be happy to give Philips' point of view if the company would care to drop us an email. µ
