(1 out of 5) by B. Moss on Nov 18, 2009 (Baltimore, MD)This DVD player was working fine for several months and now doesn't work. It will play for 10 minutes, then will freeze no matter what DVD or CD is played. DO NOT PURCHASE THIS PRODUCT!!
ABSOLUTE PIECE OF JUNK - DON'T BUY!!
(1 out of 5) by J. MACKENZIE on Sep 20, 2009 (Taconic, CT USA)Not unlike the other reviewer said, mine stopped dead after six months. This is an absolute piece of junk. Should have known by the pricing. Don't waste your time or money on any Philips products. They are a complete rip-off. I have a twelve year old Toshiba - one of the first DVD players made - and it is still going strong.
Awful DVD player - failed after 5 months
(1 out of 5) by A4Q96 on Sep 14, 2009 (Baltimore, MD USA)Spent a little more to get what I *thought* was decent quality from Philips, but it failed after 5 months (2 months out of warranty). An e-mail to the company yielded repair/replacement options that cost more than buying a new player. It suddenly started giving "NO DISC" readings upon inserting a disc. Tried resetting it and shaking it :) to no avail.
Apart from the failure, the remote control and buttons are very small (and you have to be pointing right at it), and there are few buttons on the unit itself, making it difficult to do anything without the remote handy.
Look elsewhere and spend a few more $$ to get a reliable player! Read a lot of good reviews (and very few "dead after 6 months" reviews) for:

Best Seller & Service Ever!!!
(5 out of 5) by ShoppaHaulic on Sep 5, 2009 (SC USA)I literally do ALL shopping online ONLY,& Amazon the most, for 2 years now. Have extreme spinal cord Injury & spine & wrist/hand conditions which makes typing reviews nearly impossible(there are sooo.. many items i haven't gotten 2 yet). So, having said that, it really says something when I do submit one & THIS SELLER IS WORTH IT!!! I ordered this by mistake(thought in saved cart section, but wasn't). The seller went WAY out of his way to help me. Incredible customer care & HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

I enjoyed very much - may not be for the common user
(3 out of 5) by giantpeach on Aug 10, 2009 (texas)The dvd play er has several flaws that make it not so usable for many users - including that it doesn't remember where you left off when it turns off, doesn't turn on when any button is pushed (you must press the Power button instead of just pressing Open), it turns off after the DVD player is left alone for about 15 mins - then has to start the movie over, somewhat poor remote receptivity.
However for an AVI/download fan this DVD player was great because it made all my DVDs with movies all the more valuable. A more ideal setup might be a DVD player with a USB hookup attached to a 500GB hard drive that stores all your movies... :)
