When you plug it back in after you've had that problem, does any
error code display on the front before the "PHILIPS" comes on?
It usually starts with an "A" or a "B".
Did you check to see if there's a firmware update for the DVDR70?

It could be a DVD disk error. Try another new DVD. Make sure you are using the correct type of DVD, either DVD-R or DVD+R depending on your recorder. Check your manual.

If there is no error code displaying....get that disc out of that machine and try a different one or different brand.
I have a Philips DVDR985 and when it DID screw up (once) it displayed an error code.

On the front of my DVDR77, if there's a problem with a disc (which is prettty rare) the front display says "disc error" as well as on the TV screen.
If it only stays on for 30 seconds, it will tough to even load in a firmware
update (even if it does need it). Chances are it will need to be sent in
to a Philips service center.
