Summary: What more could ask for?
Review: I got this player and then read all the bad things the reviews had to say about it. I'm glad that I did it in that order. I have had no problems with it.The picture looks great on our big screen and the sound is also very good. It has been a great value for the money. The loading is a little slow but what do you expect for this kind of money. If I had read the reviews first I would have missed out on a great deal!

Summary: An OK Player with some features not mentioned
Review: I have found this to be an good player for DVD's but not much else. A few things on some of these reviews are just not true for this player, and I have tested these formats and been successful:-Video CD (VCD): ONLY ON CD-RW'S- It does play, even has a light up icon that says "VCD", just doesn't play very well- will fail to load sometimes and may skip
-DVD-R's: The ones I've tested work perfect every time, don't know about DVD-RW's yet So, this is not the greatest of players ...

Summary: NO GOOD
Review: I have owned this machine for less than 24 hours and it was freezing on the first movie I put in. Ironically it was a Disney DVD (Snow White). I called Philips and was told there machine dose NOT play Disney DVD's. What is the point then. Philips sould have let the consumers know that the machine does not play Disney DVD's. At this point, I wonder what other movies might it not play. This thing is JUNK. Buy Sony!

Summary: JUNK, JUNK, JUNK, JUNK!!!
Review: I have purchased many Phillips/Magnavox products in the past and been pretty happy with everything until I purchased this DVD player. One word - JUNK. The problems:
1. When I turn off the DVD player, 1/2 of the backlight continues to emit light.
2. Half of the time when I put a DVD in, the player just sits there spinning the DVD and not playing it.
3. Sometimes the DVD player will not open to allow me to remove the DVD!!! Even turning the player on & off doesn't solve the problem. I've had to use a flat head screwdriver to PRY the tray open!! I returned the 1st one due to these problems. The second one worked fine for a few months, but now is doing the same thing! I use the DVD player maybe once a week. I plan to trash this thing. No more Phillips for me.

Summary: DON'T BUY THIS MACHINE
Review: I purchased the Philips Model 621 and it would not even recognize the DVD when I inserted it. The message "Please insert a playable disk" kept appearing. I took the machine back and bought another one, same model. On our first movie, WHITE CHRISTMAS, it worked fine for about 1 to 1 and 1/2 hours. Then it froze. After a few minutes the same message, "Please insert a playable disk" appeared again. I don't intend to buy another Philips. Sony, RCA, and Panasonic are all looking better.

Summary: Not worth buying.
Review: I purchased this player about 3 months ago. It's been nothing but
trouble since. Movies freeze and then the player boots you out of
the movie. Discs get stuck in the player and every command from the remote takes time to complete it's intended function. At first player worked good but progressively got worse to the point
that any dvd is useless. Also the player wont play disney discs with out inputing certin commands. I would have thought better of a product from philips. This player is a real disappointment. My advice, dont purchase this product.

Summary: very good
Review: I read some of the other reviews and just do not not see what is wrong. I would say that this is a very good D.V.D player. I bought a little over a year and a half ago.And it has always been fast effective and done it job. A must buy and very,very underated. Buy this D.V.D player

Summary: DVD621 has internal problems according to Philips!
Review: I received this about 2 weeks ago and have had nothing but problems. It freezes on movies then will go blank and say insert playable disk. It does this on every single DVD put in the machine. I called philips about the problem and was told by them that this is an internal manufacturing problem with this particular model. ALL of them are like this. I waited 4 weeks after I ordered this to receive it. Now I have to wait for the RMA letter from Philips, ship it back at MY cost, then they will ship me a replacement. If you are in the market for a DVD player, stay away from this one.

Summary: No problems here...
Review: I recently purchased this DVD player on sale at a major retail outlet. For the price I paid, I am more than satisfied with the performance. If you are looking for a basic DVD player, look into this one. Since I already have a receiver with built in Dolby Digital and DTS, I didn't want a player that had all the same decoders (why waste the money?). Picture quality is great. The remote is easy to use. I am pleased so far. Note: I read the reviews above shortly after purchasing the player and got worried. So I immediately put the player to the test. After watching two movies consecutively (in the same sitting), the player was still running flawlessly. Not sure what the glitch was on the two above, but perhaps I have a later model that has been corrected. We'll see.
