Summary: PHILIPS DVD621AT
Review: I regularly rent DVD's from Netflix.Com, watch 3-5 movies per week.They work just fine in this player,old or new releases included! CON: the picture seems to modulate between dark and light continually, is this common? it might be my tv/vcr system or this unit, I am not sure which is the culprit... The player has only rejected one movie, I sent that back to Netflix.Com, they immeadiatley replaced it, the replaced copy worked fine... I believe that Philips DVD621AT was upgraded before I purchased mine, it has given me no problem[note CON above]. The earlier editions must be really awful, glad I got the upgraded model.

Summary: My poor judgement
Review: I should have known better. I figured I could get away with buying a relatively cheap DVD player. I didn't want anything fancy - I just wanted to watch 'em. I have learned my lesson. About half of my DVDs freeze up on this machine (including brand new ones), and my perusal of the other comments indicate it's not just *my* unit. Be a wiser DVD shopper than I was, and stay away from this machine.

Summary: Fantastic!
Review: I was given this DVD player as a gift, and I love it. I have never had a problem with it freezing, and I use it often. And I have not had any trouble with Disney movies in the slightest. I am actually buying this machine for my parents for Christmas.

Summary: Still going strong...
Review: I've had this player for over a year now and still no problems. Someone else mentioned that the discs are slow to load and this is true, but it's a small price to pay for the deal I got. I've watched hundreds of DVDs. The only ones that give me trouble are the ones I rent (especially the ones that look like the renters used it as a frisbee). How do discs get in that condition? Anyway, no problems, no flaws, just great picture and sound for a small price. To the guy with the modulating between light and dark...that's the copyright protection kicking in. If you hook up the DVD player through a VCR, that's what happens. I did that first because I have an older TV with only the RF input. Turns out I needed and RF modulator...and the problem was fixed. Check it out.

Summary: (...)
Review: If you even paid $1.00 for this out of the bargin box at a Garage sale, your being ripped off. It Takes FOREVER to load and play DVD's and follow commands. freezes in the middle of Movies, and doesn't play CD-Rs. (...) Never again will I buy a Philips brand anything I was so dissatisfied.

Summary: I wouldn't buy it again
Review: In my experience, it's a okay player for the price (purchased a year and a half ago). No complaints about the design of the remote, and the player has has some cool features (like zoom). My biggest gripe is really just a nuisance: it takes forever to load. Occasionally, however, it will freeze completely, and none of the controls on the machine or the remote will work, including power, eject, etc. I have to unplug it and then plug it in again. That's why I've given it two stars instead of three. If I were to go back in time, I wouldn't buy it again. I spend a little more and get something better. On the other hand, if you don't mind a long wait for your DVD to load or having to unplug it to reset it sometimes--it's never happened to me *during* a movie--it might be [economical]enough to consider if price is the most important factor.

Summary: Recent purchase
Review: My wife and I recently purchased this model and I will say that the setup to our TV was extremely easy. The menu selections and remote were easy to use. However, after renting our first DVD, one hour into the movie the DVD froze. So we tried another DVD and the same thing happened. We decided we are returning the DVD and getting another model.

Summary: price and quality good!
Review: Not a bad product for the price. Good quility pic. Has a few extra option over cheaper DVD. Well made, and very light. It would make a great first time DVD player or for a teen. You will out grow this player as DVD get more complex.
