Worked for a year then died.
The DVP-642 played well for a year of occasional use. It performed as advertised with DIVX and PAL but the unit had a short lifespan. It died, with only a blinking power light and a dvd that would not eject. This problem has been noted in other reviews.
I would suggest not stacking it...

Philips DVP642 Progressive Scan Turns Off?
I have had the DVP642 for a couple of days now. I have been actively comparing it to my older Panasonic RP62 player. However, I noticed a problem when analyzing some of the images (its most apparent on the credit screen when the credits are scrolling up fast). I have set up the 642 dvd player to...

Plays Divx/mpg/avi as advertised - Genius!
The day came when my Pioneer DV414 player would no longer power-up (my main suspects are a juice-box and my 2 year-old son...) Anyway, I was in the market for a new DVD player for the home-theater.
I had purchased an Apex player for my brother-in-law last Christmas, so I was familiar with...

Audio/Video sync issues
After reading all the other reviews, I was very interested in getting this player. Unfortunately, I find myself disappointed by the fact that (A) audio and video go out of sync with non-DVD movies all too often, and (B) Too often you can't rewind or fast-forward non-DVD movies. In my opinion these... Read full review »

MAJOR RELIABILITY PROBLEMS
I purchased a Philips DVP642/37 DVD player and returned it under warranty due to video locking up problems. The unit was replaced with another DVP642/37 with the serial number blanked out and this unit also has video locking problems.
Since the serial number of the returned unit was...

Great Machine with One Fatal Flaw
This machine plays anything I put in it beautifully. BUT it does have a tendencey to blow a key capacitator, which is the cause of the "blinking power light" problem you may have read about wherein the machine stops responding and only blinks its little red light at you in mockery.

Outstanding value
I liked my first one so much that I bought a second.
This is a great player for non-home theatre applications. Sound and video quality is acceptable, but not nearly good enough to compete with, say, a good CD player. For the price, though, it is outstanding.
It plays AVI files,...

Doesn't Last Long
Mine stopped working after about 9 months, and I didn't use it all that much. The labor charge to repair it would be as much as a new player. This seems to be a frequent problem from what I have been reading about it. Read full review »
Horrible Machine
As soon as I took this machine out of the package and connected it I have had problems. It plays nothing but cds and mp3 discs. It does not play any dvds at all, not even run of the mill dvds rented at Blockbuster. All I get after a long time of disc reading is "no disc". You get what you pay for... Read full review »
