Review title: Noisy and unreliable
Product review: I bought and returned the DVDR520H.1) Main problem was the loud noise from vibration when playing back R and RW discs, which made them impossible to watch. This didn't happen every time, but most. Commercial discs played back silently.2) The machine crashes (freezes and has to be unplugged to reboot). On one occasion this happened when I programmed a recording. The recording didn't start and the controls were frozen. This means one can't have confidence programming will work. I wrote Philips to ask about software updates, got no answer until I insisted, then was sent an excerpt from the manual about how to program recording and nothing about updates.3) Editing is unstable. A thumbnail image can be set. Then it moves by itself as much as 20-30 seconds if the file is split further on and has to be redone.
