...I had never owned a Philips DVD player before this purchase but was assured by many people that their DVD players were always in top form. This product is possibly the cheapest DVD players I have ever bought but must say that I found that for its price and what I use it for it was a great buy. Another reason I decided to buy this DVD player over the many other options that were available to me was because this DVD player is small and slim and is ...

Advantages: Apart from the frequent freezes in playback, a good DVD player
Disadvantages: Infuriatingly frequent freeze-ups while playing disks.

Disappointing: this player had promise but a maddening fault. We ordered this player to partner a flatscreen TV, intending to use the upscaling feature to take full advantage of the panel's resolution. The first impression was very good: excellent picture, good sound, and all seemed well. It's a nice looking player (only flaw is a rather flimsy disk tray) that's easy to set up and get working. Unfortunately, on a variety of disks, the player demonstrated ...
...would freeze for anything from a moment to five seconds or so, like a really bad layer change. Not a problem with the disks (several tried, all OK in other players) but the player itself. Okay, so there's a problem with that particular player, so we return it. The replacement has the same fault but does it more frequently. And it's surprising how annoying those short freeze-ups can be. Maybe I was very unlucky and got the only two bad examples, ... Read review

Advantages: DVDs, DIVX, and looks fantastic.
Disadvantages: none

Before I bought this DVD player Id never really owned a DVD player before. I had however had and still do have a ps2 on which I used to play my DVDs. I never really went and still don’t go on this so much so I was going to sell it and buy a DVD player. In the end I decided to just keep the ps2 and to get a cheaper DVD player than I was looking for in the first place. The main reason why I wanted a new DVD instead of the one in the ps2 was ...
...DVD player in a ps2 doesn’t recognise this format and scene as I have several divx movies already on disk and on my laptop to put onto disk then I wanted a DVD player that would recognise and play this format. Another plus to this format is that it saves space on disks as it compresses movies into smaller file sizes without compromising on the quality of the movie, so effectively you can get several movies onto one disk rather than just one ...

Advantages: USB, DivX, multi-region
Disadvantages: Periodically loses multi-region, no USB access from remote

Had this player for over a year now and has been brilliant all round. Used remote hack to make multi-region and changed video system from PAL to NTSC (hold Pause until display on player flashes) to stop judder on playback. Has played everything I've thrown at it. It did lose it's multi region setting recently but used remote hack to re-set factory settings and then Zoran file burnt to CD to access region setting menu and now fine again. One drawback ...
...have to press a button on the DVD player to access the USB stick and this can't be done on the remote. Not a major problem though. Has HDMI out which provides better picture quality. Coaxial out for digital sound. Decodes Dolby 5.1 and DTS. As a bonus, it looks pretty sleek too. ... Read review

Advantages: Great quality
Disadvantages: Not very advanced interface

This DVD player is the one that i have in my lounge and is a great one in my eyes and i think i will have it for years to come. It goes very well with my sony LCD HDready television and was very easy to set up and also very quick. It plays pretty much anything and has great quality and is very easy to use, i.e. the remote is very simple layout but with most features available. Plus this dvd player is also a great buy because it is under £100 and ... Read review
