Piece of JUNK!!!!!!! December 22, 2003
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
This was my first stand-alone DVD player and what a disappointment is has been. A horrendous amount of skipping occurs until the DVD stops playing altogether. Probably put together by slave laborers working for a few pennies a day in Red China and it certainly shows it.
I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER PHILLIPS PRODUCT-0 stars December 15, 2002

We purchased a 5-Disc changer from Media Play-Phillips Brand. We did not pay the extra $ for the extended warranty and I'm glad because we would have only wasted more than the [money] already paid. I have never watched a DVD without having to spend 10 minutes trying to get it to work again. Now I can't even play CD's without opening and closing the tray at least 15 times-When it does finally load-It needs to load again and again... Please, take my advice and buy ANY OTHER brand. What a headache and [money]dollars down the drain.

Well, unfortunately, I've just had to return my phillips 5 disc changer to the Good Guys store because a cd got stuck in it. The door will open, all of the other discs will come out, the disc itself will play, but whatever mechanism lifts the disc out of the tray, will not set it back down again. It's a bit odd, since I haven't done anything out of the ordinary to the unit, it has just been sitting there peacefully. That being said, other than that, I've had few problems with this unit, and have few complaints. CDRs with MP3s or ones that have been burned as Audio CDs work just fine with this unit. It has also reliably played several different VCDs. Every DVD has worked just fine (except bubble boy) and I have watched at least 200 dvds on this thing. I have experienced several skips on rented DVDs, but the new ones that I have, have had few problems. The remote is configured well, I believe the interface is fairly straitforward, and the sound and video quality is excellent. I haven't really noticed slow response from the unit, or in issuing commands, seems comparable to other units by samsung, and mintek. The 5 disc tray seems to change cds a little slowly, but not anything out of the ordinary. I have often used the 5 disc shuffle operation and have been very satisfied. My player has REALLY been put through the ringer, and until tonights problem, I have been extremely happy with the unit. My only complaint until today is that when the unit wakes up from it's standby mode, it takes several seconds, maybe 5 to10. At first I wasn't expecting this, so it seemed that the tray wouldn't open all the way, because I had pressed the button several times, or it would turn off right after it turned on. That was only because of my error (granted it does seem silly that it should take so long to start) but I got used to it, and have only had good experiences. I would have given it 4 stars, but for tonight's problem. Perhaps in the future, I will have to revise this rating lower if problems continue. I think the features are great, but the reliability issues might make you consider a different comparably priced brand... there are tons of others to choose from.

I dont know about her but this phillips DVD player has been very disappointing. I have the same problems it runs fine for about a hour but then skips and freezes up. Explain this to 3 little kids trying to watch a movie....As my 5 year old said " Daddy the movie did not skip at the movie theater, Why is it skipping now?" My answer is that I bought a piece of Junk Phillips DVD player.

I bought one of these a year ago, it was complete junk, long in the trash can in exchange for a [different brand]. What is awful about this product and this company is that over several conversations with there ridiculous support they freely acknowledged there is a problem with the unit but will only offer to exchange it for another defective dvd? They offer all kinds of tips their engineering department has tried to get this thing to work and then explain they have not had any success!? The killer is that Philips is still selling this piece of junk and after your store warranty runs out 30 days or so all you can do is exchange!...
