Summary: What is that noise?
Review: Great price, but why does it make that noise? It would be great if the noise was actually the audio from the DVD, but it isnt. The noise this thing makes from spinning the DVD overpowers the audio completely. It also takes a long time to load and the display is very primitive looking. You DO get what you pay for.

Summary: My husband loves this DVD Player
Review: I bought this DVD player for my husband for his birthday. Ilooked at several of the more expensive DVD players from Toshiba andJVC, but this one seemed to have most of the same features. He wasthrilled. he spent the whole afternoon playing around with it. Hemade me sit through the same scenes, as he hooked it up in differentways . We decided we got the best picture through the component video. He hooked it up through our a/v reciever and it sounds great. Wehave rented DVD's almost every night for the last 2 weeks. For [theprice] this was a great buy. I'd recommend it to anyone who wants tosit on the couch watch movies with their favorite guy.

Summary: You get what you pay for...I guess....
Review: I bought this player as a gift for a friend. I own a JVC XV-501BK that's about two years old and twice as expensive. I didn't realize how nice my JVC was until I used this player. The load time of the disc is unusually long (maybe 15 seconds). What exactly is it loading here anyway? My JVC loads a disc in about 2 seconds. The button placement on the remote is a little unusual as well. The play button is in the top middle while the pause is at the bottom right?!?! At least it saves your stopping place when you hit stop (something my JVC doesn't do without hitting "Resume" first). .... .... I'd keep looking if I were you...

Summary: Not worth a hundred bucks.
Review: I did not have high hopes, considering the low price point, but this unit still fell below my expectations. The picture quailty is grainy, with pixelizaion on almost every frame. The setup is unintuitive, reminding me of the lowest quality VCR's on the market. The menus display poor, unreadable text. A relative of mine picked up a $100.00 DVD player from a GROCERY store that easily surpassed this unit in quality (and yes, it also had DTS). Philips usually makes good products, so I figured they could pull this off, but I was wrong. Spend the extra money and buy a nice DVD player.

Summary: Pretty Darn Good!
Review: I must say this DVD player is one of the best on the market for the price. The loading of the DVD takes about 7 or more seconds. If you can get past this, then there is no reason to spend $... or more for a DVD player. I would highly recommend this product.

Summary: Unless you like returning things, don't bother.
Review: I purchased this DVD player about a month ago and sent it back about 2 weeks after I had it. I managed to actually watch 3 DVDs before I got so irritated with the player that I sent it back. It loads INCREDIBLY SLOW (about 15 seconds) and it wouldn't play BRAND NEW DVDs that I had just taken out of the shrink wrap (it kept saying there was a 'disk error' and proceeded to refuse playing ANY of 20 random DVDs)! I was very, very disappointed with this player and would advise anyone to save your cash and get a higher-end player that actually works!

Summary: I 'm returning it.
Review: I'm really disappointed with this unit. I thought the Philips name was good enough to buy. It's not a terrible machine considering the price, but you get what you pay for. Make sure you know what you are buying. Read the specs before you decide to buy. This machine might be good for a second player for the kids, but definitely not an unit for a state of the art home theater.

Summary: First DVD
Review: If you have never had a DVD before this is a great starter. It hooks right up to your surround system and the sound and picture quality are great for this price. I am very satisfied.

Summary: Good Price, So-So Product
Review: It was easy to set up, but it is interminably slow. After pressing a button on the remote, you have to wait up to 15 seconds for the function to begin (ie.Loading the disc, searching for the menu, etc.). Also, when I press the play button, the machine tends to turn itself off. Not a very impressive performance, but for the price I will live with it.

Summary: Look At The Price
Review: The first thing that draws you towards this dvd player is the price its excellent. The amount of features that you get with this player for the price is good you get, Frame Advance, Camera Angles, Subtitles, Repart and Parental Lock. This is a good player to get you if you are not sure about owning a dvd player as you won't outlay much money if its not for you
