Title: Philips has lost its credibility.
Product review: Philips, once an innovator and giant among electronic recording pioneers (they first mass marketed the cassette recorder/player), are now producing crap of the lowest level. I have tolerated the CDR 785 for almost two years and:1. The CD burner NEVER worked properly, finally dying completely (and eating the unfinalized cd!); and2. It is among the most user-unfriendly devices I have ever owned, particularly in regards to the manual and the recorder.As a 3-CD carousel PLAYER, it is fine, but...it cost $379.00 new, and I recently bought a 5-CD changer for slightly over $100.Ridiculous amount for a piece of over-hyped garbage (remember the TV ads for the "party mix" CD burner...?).Truly a sad day for a one-time pioneer in entertainment technology.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
