I'll Never Again Buy Anything Made By These Folks
|
| The Philips 3400 rates as the worst piece of electronic equipment I ever bought--worse than anything Panasonic made in its worst days. It would be better if you could not turn it on from the get go in order to save frustration and wasted discs. If you record a disc and do not turn it off immediately after finalizing the disc and then unplugging it for 15+ seconds, when you go to record next disc, it locks up and makes that next disc unusable (and still requires pulling the plug, as it wont shut off before trying to record another disc). Probably have wasted 25 discs this way. The remote is klutzy in that much of the time you have to press button several times before the unit responds. It has no such thing as one-touch recording as it requires pressing the source button (despite setting up defaults to record from the DV input) and then the record button. On ending a recording, it has a convoluted way to telling it to finalize the disc. I have a Sony unit a few years old; and it works flawlessly. You can bet that after these two weeks of frustration, the Philips is going back to the store; and I'll spend the few extra bucks for another Sony. |
