- Dead after 1.5 years
I liked this player.. when it actually worked.
Unfortunately at the 1.5 year mark it slowly start fading away. At first I thought it was a broken remote but when I bought a universal remote, it didn't improve anything. The unit no longer responds to remote controls while the buttons on the main unit still work. This doesn't really make life easy since there are only 3 buttons on the main unit.
I believe this is due to shoddy worksmanship since I've read similar things about ... Read More

- Good little player - these are priced right and basic models
We own three models of phillips and each has it's pro's and cons. This is a bit better than some of the other models -not quite as slow although by no means does it compare to some of the other more expensive units on the market. Multi-region is a big issue, nice picture, does what it is meant to do without the hassle. For the price, I'm pleased by this machine. Since this is the most recent purchase I can't yet comment on the durability - however, if it performs as well as the others you can't really ... Read More
Rating: - its good, better if you have a fat 32 external hd, best with a universal remote
It plays everything and you can even plug and play from an external hardrive that has its own power supply. Good all around for playability.
downsides: that remote... ugh... its tempermetal shall we say but when you get around to figuring it out well, it will only be slightly aggravating. (my best advice is using left and right for fast forwarding than the skip/ff buttons as it will always confuse the two if you aren't careful)
Rating: - Nontech DVD Review - It is what it is and does what it does
I purchased this product (refurbished).Due to all the changes in technology, I wanted something fairly inexpensive to play my DVD's on.Most of my TV equipment is Samsung.However, the reviews on the Philips seemed better for this product.It's not a big deal, but I do agree with other reviews that the DVD tray is very shallow and there is a delay in launching the tray. Philips tech support was helpful in confirming that I needed to update some firmware.This was easy to do. Connection was easy with ... Read More
