This DVD player is not worth one red cent! I bought the Philips DVP 642 in February 2006 because... from Cnet.com "The Philips DVP642 is good choice for DivX aficionados, but everyday DVD watchers can do better for the price." from Cnet.com I've had a few of the DVP642's and none of them worked long if at all. Philips customer service... from Cnet.com This player plays all teh Divx I need. This is my second DVP642. good buy for $40 from Circuitcity.com I bought two additional DVP642 player. satisfying still. from Amazon.com An excellent product, the player handles such formats as . AVI with seamless ease. (it's our second DVP642 unit) from Amazon.com At first, I was anxious to order this Philips DVP642 DVD player due to recommendation of "Reviewer: FERNANDO CASSIA "-Writer and Computer Geek-" (Buenos Aires, Argentina)", who plays DVD's from all around the world on this miracle machine. Than, I red manual that says that it converts video from PAL to NTSC only using VCDs. from Amazon.com I bught this Philips DVP642 and compared to my previous Sone DVP-NS575P is quality of component vidoe is very dark. Even s-video looks better. from Amazon.com You have to hold down Stop to get the tray to eject. I found this on CNet web site. http://reviews.cnet.com/Philips_DVP642/4505-6463_7-30959433.html from Circuitcity.com Very decent peace of hardware,like most of the other Philips products. Realistic price too in the world of advanced technology. from Circuitcity.com
