Amazon.com Product Description
Tap into multimedia fun with Philips' broad-format, high-style, and ultra-slim DVP642 DVD player. The DVP642 is not only a high-end progressive-scan DVD player equipped to offer scintillating images on high-definition and HD-ready TVs, it's a tech-savvy player that spins your MP3- and JPEG-encoded recordable CDs (as well as Kodak's and Fuji's variants of the same) and CDs loaded with MPEG-4 and DivX video (3.11, 4.x, and 5.x files), perfect for viewing Internet-sourced content in your home theater. Want more? The player also converts Region 1/All Region PAL-formatted discs (the video standard in Europe) for viewing on standard NTSC televisions (and vice-versa, if only for video CDs).
The DVP642's progressive-scan functionality allows compatible TVs to display the even and odd numbered lines of an image in a single pass. This minimizes screen flicker, which is easier on your eyes.
|
Whether your living room is currently home to an HDTV or you're merely thinking of "someday," the DVP642 stands ready to deliver the full potential of your DVDs. Progressive scanning, referred to as 480p for the number of horizontal lines that compose the video image, creates a picture using twice the scan lines of a conventional DVD picture, giving you higher resolution and sharper images while eliminating nearly all motion artifacts.
Playback options include five-disc resume, which lets you pick up where you left off on your five most recently viewed DVDs (not applicable for MP3 or JPEG CDs), disc-lock parental controls, and picture zoom for magnification of select images.
|
The player will play JPEG images one by one automatically, letting you zoom in, rotate, or flip the picture vertically or horizontally. For MP3 playback, the player offers track time display, album and track selection, and repeat (disc/album/track). The DivX media format is MPEG-4 based video compression that lets you save large files like films, movie trailers, and music videos on recordable media.
Philips' 4x video upsampling offers smoother images even when viewing interlaced (nonprogressive) signals through the player's component-video, S-video, or standard composite-video outputs. SmartPicture provides optimum picture settings for color, brightness, saturation, contrast, sharpness, etc., to enhance your overall viewing experience at all times.
The player will play JPEG images one by one automatically, letting you zoom in, rotate, or flip the picture vertically or horizontally. For MP3 playback, the player offers track time display, album and track selection, and repeat (disc/album/track). The DivX media format is MPEG-4 based video compression that lets you save large files like films, movie trailers, and music videos on recordable media.
A set of left/right analog-audio outputs channel audio to Dolby Pro Logic receivers and stereo televisions. Dolby Digital 5.1-channel surround-sound signals can be routed through the player's digital-audio outputs (one each of RCA coaxial and Toslink optical) for direct connection to a full-featured audio/video receiver.
What's in the Box
DVD-Video player, remote control with batteries, a user's manual, and an analog audio/composite-video interconnect.

Poor Product.......2007-12-16
I just purchased this in order to work with PAL region dvds.
It is less than 2 weeks old and has been used maybe 6 times and has stopped working. Every time I put in a dvd it sends back the message 'no disc'.
I see from the reviews I am not the only person this has happened to.
I feel like I just threw away $60.00.
I strongly recommend spending a little extra money for better quality.
Quite disappointed!!!.......2007-12-07
I bought this DVD player for 10 months and now it's dead!!! The warranty cover labor and CRT for only 6 months and the parts for 12 months. I didn't play it a lot for sure. Is the product life too short?
Skips frequently.......2007-12-01
I bought this DVD player about a year ago, and is a decent DVD player overall. It is very reasonably priced, and plays a variety of formats and I have not had to buy any other DVD player to play my DVD/CDs/DIVX/MP3. My main reason for buying this DVD player was to play our wedding DVDs which were in the PAL format, which it has played without any problems. My only gripe with this player however is that it frequently skips, and this seems to be more of a problem with my home videos that I have converted into DVDs. Other than this, I am happy with this player.
amazing dvd player.......2007-11-26
I bought this DVD player to be able to watch movies in .avi (divx, xvid, etc.) format. Works well with most of these files, however some are not compatible, so you will have to discover by trial and error. Plays all regular store-bought DVDs. The remote is badly designed. The buttons are not laid out in an easy to recognize layout. Everyone in my family has pressed the scene back button instead of the rewind button numerous times, which gets pretty annoying fast. Finding the pause or play button also takes several moments, even if the room is lighted and you can see the remote. Also, I think it makes a lot more noise then my old DVD player. You shouldn't notice it though, unless you are specifically listening for it.
Standby light blinking.......2007-11-23
I received this as a gift last Christmas. It quit after about 6 months. I finally dusted it off today and Googled for a fix. I found a fix on an Amazon forum. It cost me about $10 to repair it and 20 minutes of my time. Mine is an older unit so maybe Phillips has fixed the power supply capacitor problem by now.
It is a good unit otherwise.

This machine is just WRONG. KAPUT. NO FUNCIONA........2007-12-21
I have had the machine for over a year. I think you need to take a college graduate course to understand the manual. I have read and reread it many times. We finally accomplished recording to the DVD. Forget about any onscreen help. That doesn't exist. I am usually pretty technical having a experience as an electronics technician and as a computer LAN administrator. This machine is just plain frustrating. I tried to figure out the VCR section and preprogram a channel for recording a later time. Yeah...I have to take another college course for that too. My parents were looking to buy a DVD/VCR combo. I will steer them away from a Magnavox as far I can. Please do yourself a favor and spend a little extra money on something else. However, if you want to torture yourself then you can buy this and give yourself a migraine. Anything has to be better than this machine.
Run like the wind!.......2007-07-06
What a piece of crap. It is so terribly difficult to operate and program. I've given up. I read the manual a couple of times to no avail. I'll play a VCR tape and try to copy it to DVD but sometimes it records a blue screen, sometimes TV and sometimes your VCR tape but you'll never know until after 2 hours of tape runs. And if you loose the remote don't even think about being able to fully control this thing with the buttons on the front. You can't even put in a DVD and press play unless the default selection when you put the movie in is "Play Movie".
I've built my own computers, setup home automation systems. A Computer Network Engineer by trade but this thing is out of my league. My conscience doesn't allow me to resell this thing on Ebay. It would be like selling a car that you know has major problems. But I really don't think my unit is defective just the most non-intuitive piece of electronics I've ever seen.
junk, Not Functioned! Joke, garbage.......2006-10-12
I bought 3 of this machine and gave to two electronics genius son-in-laws.
One son-in-law barely managed to work the machine but it wasn't a great performance. One can use just as VCR not for DVD recording. One is VCR head already worn out, it couldn't adjusted by tracking, the bad screen. I complained Philips out let. It became 90 days already. Their answer is that's you expected from remanufacturing. This machine is very complicate to use for it to be functioned. I tossed about $500 for three. I learned that I should buy ONE very good machine instead of three garbages. Such a waste money, energy and time.I am very unhappy.
JUNK-JUNK-JUNK.......2006-06-29
Open the box, hooked up, and pulled out his home video collection to start burning to DVD- After about 30 minutes the unit froze and shut down. Several minutes later we were able to recover the VHS tape but the DVD refuses to open. The unit now refuses to power on. The unit was obviously defective and returned by someone else (writing in the owner's manual)- now we are stuck with expensive paperweight as the 90 day warranty is expired.
Sent it back.......2006-03-22
Too loud, even when off! THen it had glitches in dvd recording. Sent it back and Amazon was great and paid for the return shipping!!!
Product Description
The DVDR75 allows consumers to quickly and easily transfer their favorite videotapes and broadcast programming to DVD. The DVDR75 features i.LINK for digital copying from camcorders, allowing consumers to digitally preserve their favorite past and future family moments. In addition, the DVDR75 features progressive scan for razor sharp pictures and top quality sound. Including VCRPlus for easy timer programming and up to six hours of video recording per side, the DVDR75 provides consumers a more affordable DVD Recording option.
Amazon.com Product Description
Capture, edit, and preserve precious memories with the Philips DVDR75 DVD player/recorder. Using the model's extensive inputs--including an i.Link digital video jack--you can transfer and assemble your most treasured camcorder footage, archive old video tapes, or burn video from a PC straight to high-capacity DVD (up to 6 hours per disc side using either DVD+R or DVD+RW). The unit's onboard Virtual Time Base Corrector ensures better-than-original copies from old video tapes.
You can also use the DVDR75 like a VCR, burning televised programs directly to disc using helpful VCR Plus+ programming data. Recording functions include safe record, one-touch record (OTR), track append, track divide, track erase, automatic/manual chapter marker insertion, disc write protection, favorite scene selection, index picture screen for instant content overview, and Selectable Index Pictures.
The DVDR75 is also a first-rate DVD player, featuring progressive-scan video outputs, Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel surround sound passthrough, MP3 CD playback (CD-R/CD-RW), and compatibility with most DVD media (including video-mode DVD-R and DVD-RW).
Whether your living room is currently home to an HDTV or you're merely thinking of "someday," the DVDR75 stands ready to deliver the full potential of DVDs. Progressive scanning, referred to as 480p for the number of horizontal lines that compose the video image, creates a picture using twice the scan lines of a conventional DVD picture, giving you higher resolution and sharper images while eliminating nearly all motion artifacts.
Top-of-the-line component-video inputs and outputs help minimize digital and line-scan artifacts on compatible advanced televisions, while composite- and S-video inputs and outputs bring compatibility with nearly any video component and television monitor. Audio inputs consist of two-channel analog jacks with 16-bit analog-to-digital conversion and Dolby Digital 2.0 audio compression (compression is non-defeatable).
Two sets of left/right analog-audio outputs channel audio to Dolby Pro Logic receivers and stereo televisions. Both Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel surround-sound signals can be routed through the player's digital-audio outputs (one each of RCA coaxial and Toslink optical) for direct connection to a full-featured audio/video receiver. If you don't have a surround receiver or six-channel speaker setup, you can still make every movie night the ultimate experience: 3D Surround simulates surround sound through two speakers (even the stereo speakers on a TV).
What's in the Box
DVD recorder, remote control, batteries, user's manual (in English only), one blank DVD+RW disc, an AC power cord, a stereo audio interconnect, a composite-video cable, an S-video cable, and a coaxial RF antenna cable.

DVD Workhorse.......2007-07-24
I've been using this DVD-R75 recorder for 2.5 years with only the occasional coaster while recording to various brands of DVD+Rs. This machine seems to like the Fujufilm DVD+Rs best.
I especially like that I'm able to select a screen shot for the thumbnail in the menu and also write whatever title I want for the program.
In the title I called it a workhorse for a reason. It's been faithfully serving the role once held by a VCR in time-shifting. I work straight night-shift so without a faithful recorder I would miss anything I wanted to watch in prime-time. I simply set it and forget it and it records over and over on DVD+RWs which I can then erase and use over again the next day (either individual titles or the entire disc - at my option).
The only minor thing I've run into is that sometimes it will overwrite titles on DVD+RW discs if I'm not careful to position the disc where a 'FREE TITLE' exists. I don't think this is a problem with the machine but is inherent in the DVD+RW format since files can't be marked as protected on them.
I purchased this machine on Black Friday (the day after Thanksgiving 2004) and have never regretted it.
Even without using the component outputs the picture still looks better than from a top-of-the-line VCR and with Dolby Digital 2.0 stereo sound.
I've also used the firewire port (iLink) to download video files from my digital camcorder with great success and no degradation in quality.
DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT.......2007-02-25
We purchased this product new for $500.00. It never worked correctly. The video to DVD transfer was never true from the originals. It would make it too bright. It's also extremely sensitive, so if your video is snowy, it may not record it or skip parts. It crashed while watching DVDs. Every time I tried to contact them, they would have me speak to someone in India and I would only get software upgrades. This product has also been discontinued. Philips products are terrible and their customer service is even worse. I also had color issues with one of their TVs. I wasted much of my money and time. I hope you won't do the same.
BEWARE: DVDs are non-standard & incompatible.......2006-11-29
BEWARE: DVDs are non-standard & incompatible
I am bitterly disappointed with the Philips DVDR-3400 recorder, and suppose that all of its line has the same problems.
I did not find out until I had burned 300+ DVDs that the disk directory structure created by these Phillips machines is defective. The main title on the disk you make will appear to "play" on your home DVD player... but ALL of the post-recording edits made (cutting out parts you didn't want etc.) are LOST.
AND most PC-based DVD players and other software won't handle the disk, so if you wrote your home movies to disk for long-term archiving, you're out of luck.
I don't know how a company the size of Phillips can release such a piece of crap. They HAD to know of these problems. I am sick to think of the time I have lost. All I have is junk to show for it. And yes, I did everything right (finalizing the disks etc).
Add to this the terrible remote control with rubbery, no-feedback keys that often don't work; little provision for using the deck for playback, etc. etc. (read other's complaints) and you have a real loser here.
I bought my first Phillips tape recorder in 1968. I will never buy another Phillips product.
Save your money - DO NOT BUY!.......2006-05-25
I have owned this recorder since October 2003 and it worked wonderful for about 12 months or so. Right after the one-year warranty mark was over...it started to shut itself off. Sometimes it would go as much as 50 minutes before shutting off and other times, it shuts off the first couple of minutes. Either way, I have tried calling customer support prior to the warranty period being offer, and they insisted that I have received a replacement unit. Not true. To be honest, I cannot tell you how many times or hours I have wasted with these people and got nothing. I am going to sale the lame thing in my garage sale for probably $25.00....that is $325.00 less than what I bought it for. It's worthless....but another brand. I will never ever in this lifetime own any other product by Philips again. Very bad customer service.
Just like everyone else........2006-05-12
Well from reading the other reviews I can only add the same ole same ole. Purchased in Nov 2003 worked pretty well until 2 months ago.Seems like we are reaching the max use range on this product. Disk errors started cropping up, would not read the disk it just wrote too etc. etc. I just got word from the repair store today and the laser lens is shot and $350 to repair, needless to say what my decision was. Less than 3 years of use and now I have a VERY expensive DVD player. (while that lasts but who knows for how long). Customer "no service" at Philips could seem to care less. They spend 10 minutes getting your personal information and 3 minutes on diagnosis. All in all I can't recommend the machine or the company. I may make the same mistake on a different manufacturer or model but I won't make it again on a Philips product.
Product Description
See, hear, play everything.Does size matter? Ever heard of less is more? Introducing the best value DVD-player. No complications! Just a simple set that plays practically any disc format, including your digital photos with absolutely no compromise to picture quality.
Amazon.com Product Description
Small size does matter--especially when you're trying to keep your entertainment center from taking over the living room. Philips helps keep it tamed with the slim-profile DVD622/37 multi-format DVD player, which measures just 2 inches high. It provides compatibility with a wide variety of disc formats and digital files, including DVD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW, CD-R/RW, MP3, and JPEG (Picture CD).
Its 192 KHz sampling enables you to have an accurate representation of the original sound curves. Together with a 24-bit resolution, more information is captured from the original analogue sound wave form, giving a much richer audio reproduction. Other features include PAL/NTSC playback, JPEG photo slideshows (with zoom and rotate functionality), Dolby Digital decoding, and tri-lingual menu display (English, French, Spanish). It offers the following video and audio connections:
- Composite AV (RCA) Out: 1
- S-Video Out: 1
- Component Video Out (Y PB PR): 1
- Coaxial digital audio Out: 1
Tech Talk
Progressive Scan doubles the vertical resolution of the image resulting in a noticeably sharper picture. Instead of sending a field comprising the odd lines to the screen first, followed by the field with the even lines, both fields are written at one time. A full image is created instantaneously, using the maximum resolution. At such a speed, your eye perceives a sharper picture with no line structure.

No Sound.......2007-06-19
Had this DVD player for a year and watched about 5 movies a month when the audio outputs stopped delivering sound. Phillips used to make great equipment, this DVD player is junk. Save yourself some money and buy the "El Cheapo" DVD player for $30.00. The cheapies last longer and they're made in the same place as the high end models with the same materials and lack of quality.
Great price. Great entry-level DVD player.......2007-05-17
I have to admit I am impressed by the negative comments I have read about this product. Yuo all must have received a defective unit or just got unlucky with it. I got this DVD at JC Penney on sale for $29.95 in August 2006 because I needed a new cheap DVD player with progressive scan. Then I come to find out that this DVD player has both NTSC and PAL which is great for me that I watch movies from Italy. I already had one Sampo DVD region free to dothis but I searched online to see if I could unlock this Philips. Found it. After pressing 8 buttons this cheap DVd player plays anything I feed him with. It does play PC recorded DVDs too. Its menu is easy to use and so its remote. The progressive scan picture looks great on my 50" Panasonic plasma. And all for $29.95.
Worst dvd player ever!!!!.......2007-03-09
I have owned this dvd player for less than a year, worked fine everytime. then all of the sudden played a dvd worked fine, put in another one and said bad disk. tried about 10 different dvds over the course of 3 days, one dvd worked for about 10 minutes and then time after time bad disk. well have you ever seen the copy machine scene in office space..... thats what happened to this pos.
Good basic dvd player for a good price.........2006-12-30
I bought this player 6-8 months ago, and have had no problems with it. I have a Netflix subscription and a 3 year old, so it gets used every day. It's a great little player for the money.
Nice price. Poor product. Poor customer service........2006-12-03
12 months after I bought this DVD player it stopped working; it randomly stops and resets itself every 5 to 10 minutes.
I called Philips technical support and after navigating their support phone line for half an hour and speaking to an agent for five minutes they told me that because it is out of warranty and this model is no longer covered by their 'Out of Warranty Reduced Cost Exchange' program, all I can do is go to their website and buy a new model. I asked if I could troubleshoot it and was told that they no longer support this product.
I'll be staying away from Philips products from now on; budget or high-end.

Playback options include five-disc resume, which lets you pick up where you left off on your five most recently viewed DVDs (not applicable for MP3 or JPEG CDs), disc-lock parental controls, and picture zoom for magnification of select images.
The player will play JPEG images one by one automatically, letting you zoom in, rotate, or flip the picture vertically or horizontally. For MP3 playback, the player offers track time display, album and track selection, and repeat (disc/album/track). The DivX media format is MPEG-4 based video compression that lets you save large files like films, movie trailers, and music videos on recordable media.
Philips' 4x video upsampling offers smoother images even when viewing interlaced (nonprogressive) signals through the player's component-video, S-video, or standard composite-video outputs. SmartPicture provides optimum picture settings for color, brightness, saturation, contrast, sharpness, etc., to enhance your overall viewing experience at all times.

You Get What You Pay For.......2007-12-07
This DVD player never operated at a very high level, but then you get what you pay for. At the original price of approximately $40, this player "worked" for a year and a half but there were always problems with it such as stopping and starting during movies, freezing up entirely, failing to recognize that there was a disc in the tray to read, the tray refusing to open... I was pretty shocked since Philips makes quality products. It wouldn't have been so bad if I'd have gotten a year and a half of great play, but no such luck! Don't buy this model - upgrade!
1 in the garbage, 1 returned.......2007-09-19
2 of them broken, one bought brand new locally, the other refurbished from here. I returned the broken refurb for a refund, but I paid 2x shipping cost for $40 player and got nothing. The one bought locally wasn't opened till months later and the receipt was lost, so that was a complete loss. Don't be fooled by the features, don't waste your money.
Remanufactured DVP642.......2006-06-12
Great valued unit - but buy it new. Bought a remanufactured unit as a second DVD/DivX player - died on me just after the 90 day warranty ended (No Disc error for DVDs, plays CDs fine). Meanwhile, my original non-remanufactured unit is still working fine after a year and a half.
Good unit for the price ... mileage may vary!.......2006-06-02
I've enjoyed this unit and just bought my 2nd after the first one died ... lasted about 1 1/2 yrs. Other reviews indicate that these units seem to die after some time and I've read it's related to a power capacitor (probably an easy fix for someone skilled in electronics). Other problems are that some DVD-Rs won't load in this ... seems really arbitrary though, not any specific brand. I like it to play .avi files from the computer. If I were just playing store bought DVDs, I think I would choose something a little more reliable. I bought my second one from a retailer that offers a 4 year extended warranty for $20. I figure the extra money is worth it as 4 out of the 5 DVD players I've owned have died within 3 years. So my advice ... make sure you have a good warranty and expect to replace it, enjoy it while it works.
Remanufactured Phillips 642.......2006-05-05
Worked well for 30 days and then started having problems turning on. Really a pain. Won't turn on normally and have to spend 10 min. or so pushing the stand-by button to get it go on. Don't be a remanufactured one.

CONSUMER ALERT: This television receiver has only an analog broadcast tuner and will require a converter box after February 17, 2009 to receive over-the-air broadcasts with an antenna because of the U.S.'s transition to digital broadcasting. Analog-only TVs should continue to work as before with cable and satellite TV services, gaming consoles, VCRs, DVD players, and similar products.

Amazon.com Product Description
The Magnavox MRV640 is a first-rate DVD player and recorder, a state-of-the-art source component that's also fixed to displace your VCR. Now you can archive your home movies and edit favorite scenes to share with loved ones: use recordable DVD+R and re-recordable DVD+RW media for compiling home-video highlights or for storing TV programs, then mail them to loved ones or, with TV programs, watch them at your convenience. The MRV640 stores up to 8 hours of audio and video at varying quality levels, from sub-VHS quality to VHS/S-VHS quality, DVD quality, and full DV quality.
Whether your living room is currently home to an HDTV or you're merely thinking of "someday," the MRV640 stands ready to deliver the full potential of your DVDs. Progressive scanning, referred to as 480p for the number of horizontal lines that compose the video image, creates a picture using twice the scan lines of a conventional DVD picture, giving you higher resolution and sharper images while eliminating nearly all motion artifacts.
The MRV640 also performs 3:2 pulldown detection. DVD mastering introduces a common distortion when adjusting 24-frames-per-second movies to 30 fps video; reverse 3:2 pulldown digitally corrects this distortion, removing the redundant information to display a film-frame-accurate picture.
Top-of-the-line component-video inputs and outputs help minimize digital and line-scan artifacts on compatible advanced televisions, while composite- and S-video inputs/outputs bring compatibility with nearly any input source and television. One each RF coaxial video input and output simplify hookup with antennas, older VCRs, and cable boxes. The unit's front panel sports a set of inputs for your temporary AV connections.
What's in the Box
DVD recorder, remote control, remote batteries, an RF coaxial A/V cable, a stereo analog audio interconnect, a composite-video interconnect, a user's manual (English/Spanish), a quick-use guide, and an AC power cord.

Programed not to open "BLOCKED" .......2007-04-12
Same problem as many others. The month after warranty expired it wouldn't open and said "BLOCKED". I called and was told to unplug it and press "ON" when replugging. "BLOCKED" again came up. It does not even have screws you can unscrew yourself without special tool. I lost hours of recordings when it would shut itself off during record or play modes! Over priced even if it did work for more than a few months.
I'll NEVER buy Magnavox again because of bad product and run around service guy who said "It is probably past warranty, they all should be" It shouldn't have been on the market.
Don't waste your money!!.......2006-11-22
I bought one of these little jewels new and after recording maybe 3 hours total, I couldn't eject the disk because it was "blocked". I sent the whole thing back to Philips for repairs and waited. ... and waited ... and waited. Finally, after 2 1/2 months of waiting and several phone calls (answered in India by people I couldn't understand well) and at least three people telling me to call back in one week I finally made a big enough stink to get transfered to a supervisor. The supervisor and every other operator I had spoken with to that point had verified all of my information including name, address, zip, etc. Then the supervisor told me that they hadn't sent the repaired or in my case remanufactured DVR out because they didn't have my address! Well I finally got the remanufactured one back and it lasted for get this, 95 days. That's five days more than the "renewed 90 day warranty" that came with it. Now it won't come on at all and won't eject again. OH, I have to give Magnavox credit though, this one did record for twice as long as the new one... 6 WHOLE HOURS! Save your money and save yourself a headache. This thing is a piece. I'll never buy Magnavox again.
pretty good....functional.......2006-07-06
The interface is a bit difficult to use - definitely not user-friendly. I had to read the manual to know how to use it. It's a pretty good machine for functionality - I haven't done anything special with it other than record and play. I've done that at different speeds and haven't had any problems. No complaints.
Purchased 2 - Only 1 works.......2006-02-03
I purchased two of these as gifts for my sons. One set up quickly and works great a month later. However, the other one will not read a disc; any disc; even the rescue disc sent to us by Magnavox. They are very helpful at Magnavox, but am disappointed to know that we have to pay shipping to the repair center. Also, I "thought" I read that we could purchase an extended warranty on these. That is not the case. Magnavox will not sell extended warranties on refurbished items. Also, if you send them for repair, they do not give you another 90 days to see if the recorder works okay; you only get the original 90 days, so if it doesn't work this first and only time, we will be out of luck. However, I should have connected the recorder prior to gift time to be sure they both worked properly.
Worthless.......2005-11-09
I recently bought this recorder, and after only 35 days, the DVD drawer would not open due to being "blocked" by some sort of internal mechanical device. Additionlly, when I tried to turn the DVD player on it would automatically turn off while trying to retrive the cable signal. Also, when I would record a TV show, sometimes it would only record and play for approx. 2 minutes although the Disc would show 1 hour of recording. Take if from me, save your money. This is the most worthless product on the market today.

It is a good, pretty, reliable DVD player, just a little slow........2007-12-12
I've had the product for a long time and it still is working great. The only thing that consistently aggravates me is the time it takes to power the unit up (from sleep) and get the tray to open.
3 years of bliss.......2007-10-18
I was looking for a unit to play foreign DVD's (requiring PAL and multi-region support) and this player was recommended to me by some ex-pat's.
The player is very basic and played absolutely everything I threw at it without any worry.
Sadly, it's developed a noise after only three years. A poor record, but I liked the unit enough that I'll take a chance on another inexpensive Philips model for the exact same purpose.

Junk.......2006-02-19
Of all the DVD players I've ever owned this is the worst. It continually skips and freezes. The progressive scan capability fails on most DVD's. I have owned various players over the years and this is the only one that has failed so miserably.
I contacted Philips to see about having it replaced and have received the worst service imaginable. It is apparent they don't care about quality.
If you want a good DVD player I recommend going with Toshiba instead.
Has been working great for 2-3 yrs, if you lose picture try these instructions!!.......2006-01-16
For the people that lost the picture but not the sound in their
DVD player Philips 727:
Using the remote control deactivate progressive scan by:
1. open the tray
2. then press the left key
3. then press the mute key .
In my case the image came back
There's some way on your remote to accidentally put the player in progressive scan mode, and then you can't see the picture. I found this possible reason online and then found the instructions to deactivate the progressive scan from page 13 of the manual. It worked for me!

Customer Reviews:
One year and going strong.......2004-03-24
The picture quality on this is as good as any other DVD player I have seen. I have had it for a year and have watched a lot of DVDs, and there was only one DVD it had a problem reading, and it was only because that DVD (a rental) had some deep scratches on it.
Low quality equipment.......2004-03-06
I am extremely disappointed with this Progressive-Scan DVD player.
I am writing this to keep anyone from making the same mistake I
made being lured into the low price.
When watching DVDs, about 1 in 2 of the disks freeze in the middle
of watching. I've watched the same disks on other DVD players and
not had the problem. Frequently, I'll have to go to another scene
to continue the move.
Besides that problem, I find the system menus slow and
cumbersome, and unintuitive. This is obviously a cheaply made
equipment with very little quality.
One of the best Value for Money DVD players around.......2003-12-22
Frankly all of us when spending on something look for the best value that money can buy, especially Electronics and Cars!! It is this space that Philips' DVD Q35 falls. It started out with a price tag around $200 but in the last months of 2003 it has been selling for about $80 (read Fry's). At this price it is one of the best DVD player that one can buy. First, it plays every format, except DVD-Audio, SACD. Second it can support both NTSC and PAL video formats (very very few players in US market have this feature). Third and most important, this player can be made region free to play DVDs from all over the world. Fourth but not the final, the Video and Audio quality is excellent almost at par with high end Denon, Onkyo systems. Has all sorts of connection possibilities. Don't even think twice. Just get it, you wont be disappointed.
Value for money.......2003-10-06
Its worth paying. Its nice, plays MP3s, JPEG and all DVDs that I have tried. I have tried PAL VCDs as well.
The negative side - MP3 menu is too thin.
It does not play or hangs with some DVDs, the other player I have also does the same. Whereas my laptop DVD player plays that.
Philips has a problem - now it's my problem.......2003-07-26
I purchased the Philips DVDQ35 from Amazon about a 2 months ago. It played photo CDs and regular CDs fine. The problems came when playing DVDs. On EVERY DVD I play, it starts skipping and freezing after about 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours into the movie. This even includes brand new DVDs fresh from the box. I called Philips and the said it sounded like a hardware problem to them. They shipped me a brand new unit - new serial and manufacture date. Guess what ... the new unit does the same thing - exactly. I searched the internet for "Philips DVD player skipping" and have since found out that there are a lot of people that have been junking their Philips DVD players for exactly the same reason - skipping and freezing during DVD playback. It seems Philips will gladly keep sending you new units with the same problem (YOU have to pay for the shipping back to them), but won't refund money or give you a comparable model that works. I guess instead of repeatedly sending back the players, I'll have to eat the loss and junk this one. No more Philips for me.
