No resume function; slow start-up (sometimes Windows is faster!); shoddily made... I'm about to return my second unit, with little confidence that it'll last for long. I bought it in September; by December it was malfunctioning; I received the...

I researched this player and read the reviews and thought, "Surely my player will work because I trust Philips" Alas.... As previous reviewers mentioned my HDMI connection FAILED. Not because it was flimsy just because it FAILED. Picture was FLAWLESS for...

It all looks good for the price but beware! In addition to numerous other complaints about the unit which I can attest are true, I have had nothing but problems with this, my 2nd unit.The first unit played about 1 out of 10 dvds, and the others would...

I have the Sony on one TV and decided to try this one out on my other TV. Bad idea. Within 2 days it was choking on all kinds of discs. Plus, it's a pain that it doesn't do something as simple as remember where you left off when you stop a disc. The Sony...

This player had problems come up a few weeks after we bought it. It will randomly decide to not play discs that are BRAND NEW in pristine condition. It will make horrible grinding noises. It will play a movie but start jerking and skipping 20 minutes in....

It's really pretty but it's not region free. It plays only region 1. At first I was confused so I called the manufacturing company and asked them, and they said that this DVD player is only capable for playing region 1 DVDs....

I bought this to go with my nice new 1080p TV and I wanted it for it's upscaling capabilities. Annoyingly, it only upscales to 1080i so doesn't make the full use of the TV. However the picture still looks very good like that so the whole upconvert DVD...

An odd unit. First, I assumed it would have an S-Video output, and it does not (?). Out of the box, the unit turns completely off after some period of time (10 minutes, or something like that) so you can not re-start a DVD from the place you stopped or...

No Optical Out. I (stupidly) just looked at the stars above and assumed there would be optical out like every DVD player I've purchased in the last 2 years. Don't assume your TV will pass the 5.1 sound through its optical out. My Sony TV KVR-50E2000 has...

Despite the description given here the thing takes only Region Code 1 (USA & Canada) DVDs. Forget it....

if you want 1080i upconvert, don't buy this. the hdmi output is non existing. philips sent a replacement and it was more of the same (snow). technical assistance instructed on how to download upgrade software and the entire unit died. nothing but lights...

Two major problems with this device. First it routinely freezes after pausing a DVD, forcing you to unplug the device and restart. Second, after pausing and trying to resume when it doesn't freeze, the device will not resume where you left off, forcing...
