The Ultimate Player: You've Got it? It Plays It!
Let me just start out by saying: I love Philips brand products. A good majority of the electronics products I own are Philips made. Not once have I ever had any sort of problem with any of their products. I, of course, also say this about Magnavox and Philips-Magnavox products as well. Just to give... Read full review »
Now watch your Divx/XViD movie collection on your TV
Till now if you wanted to see movie on your living room TV, you had to use only DVD or VCD if you could stand lower quality of picture and didn't mind dealing with multiple CDs for every movie. But that is about to change. Divx/XViD a format based on MPEG4 and wildly popular among internet... Read full review »
Wonderful Features, inconsistent implementation.
This DVD player comes with a unique feature that makes it very worth it's $45 price tag on Amazon right now. It plays Divx files that are encoded into .avi format. It will also play Xvid files. Now there is a lot of content available on the internet, especially if you are interested in early fan... Read full review »
Region-free, but also quality-free unfortunately :-(
Unlike most other reviewers, I didn't care in the least for the multi-format playing (Divx, etc). The reason I bought this DVD was to be able to play my European DVDs (particularly British comedy). After having entered a 'secret' code on the remote, it did that very nicely: no problemo playing back... Read full review »
There's a REASON they only offer a 3 month warranty.
Great DVD player... for 8 months. Reading the other reviews here, I wish I'd heeded their warnings. Yes it works well (except the menu is extremely clunky--reminds me of an 80's video game--and the remote is so poorly designed you'll find yourself always pressing skip when you meant to press fast...

Inexpensive multimedia player, capable of PAL dvd playback
My previous system was Go-Video DVD-VCR combo, which I still use as a VCR, but its DVD player eventually made me run out of my patience because of frequent freezes and NTSC/region1 restrictions.
So I bought Philips DVP642. It gave me instant gratification by providing wide range supported...

The DVD Player for the Pirate in All of Us
I originally bought this DVD player because my old Sanyo DVD player wouldn't play very many of the DVDs that I burned on my computer. Half of the time, I'd burn the movies and they'd constantly skip on my player, but would be fine on someone else's newer DVD player. Since I planned on making use of... Read full review »
No way to resume play!
I bought this 8 months ago and am now looking for a new DVD player.
This was a great DVD player to begin with; it certainly does play all formats.
BUT many, many of the DVDs I rent will not play; I've noticed that Sony DVDs made after Jan 07 will not play at all; this player...

You get what you pay for.
We just got this DVD player 2 days ago and are very disappointed with it.
We bought it to replace our 4 year old Panasonic DVD-RV31. Although there was nothing wrong with the Panasonic we wanted a DVD player that would play SVCDs and have Progressive Output to go with our High Definition...

Wonderful Buy
I needed a cheap, functional DVD player, and did a lot of browsing. Target and Best Buy were hopeless, their only really cheap option was Cyberhome, and the reviews on Cyberhome were more than discouraging. So, I resorted to the Web.
I found this item on Amazon, for an amazing price of...
