This dvd player was very nice, played dvd, cd, mp3 and avi. Unfortunately it died after just 1 year of service, but for the price of under $50.00 it was worth buying.
It would be temperamental about which discs it would play despite all of them being authentic USA DVD's purchased from Borders or wherever. It wont respond to anything so you just have to unplug it.
I will not buy Philips brand electronics again. As of yesterday, the screen will go blank and then turn to a green flashing screen sometimes when in the middle of a movie or it will slow down to slow-motion and stop responding.
This has even been the case with brand new DVDs so it isn't due to scratches. This one is cheap, lightweight, thin and stylish, but it simply doesn't work.
3 months after purchasing this Phillips DVD player it started acting funny. More than half the time you put a disc in the DVD player now, it just freezes with the screen saying "loading".
This is the 2nd Philips DVD player I've owned, the first was the exact same model and crapped out in the exact same with within 6 months.I would strongly suggest looking at other DVD players.
I recall buying this one for the fact it supported just about every coded and was firmware upgradable.Big deal never ended up sticking anything but a DVD and VCD in the thing.Decently priced at the time though
Yesterday, I would have given this player a 5 star review but a DVD player should last more than 2 or 3 years. See the other reviews, a lot of people had the same problem. I had this player for about three years and it worked great, playing all different types of discs, different regions, avi files etc.Then suddenly, today the standby light is blinking and the player won't respond or open and I have a disc inside from a rather expensive TV show set.Most of the good reviews are probably from people who haven't had this too long. Don't buy this.
i have had mine for 6 years and love it. the only thing it doesn't like are mp4 files. i never had a problem with this player. it is a little dated being from 2003 so it has no hdmi out put. it plays.avi and.divx files i burn onto a dvd.
but if you are looking for a good player that will last you a long time, i suggest this. it has always worked. it also has an easy code to make it region free. I bought this dvd player back in 2003 as a suggestion from a friend. which again is awesome cause i have a lot of region 2 and 3 movies.
don't know if there is an update for that.
