I'm not a complicated man. I just want a DVD player that doesn't suck. [Posted on 2008-10-29]
I hate this DVD player. I bought it, because I wanted something that wouldn't break down or kidnap my discs. Now I know I'd rather have a different machine, even one that stops working after a couple of days.
The stupid thing is just too annoying. It doesn't have fast forward or rewind, and it forgets where you left off if you turn off the machine. It's also super slow to start up and to load discs.
I can't wait for it to screw up just once so I can justify buying another player. However, it keeps working day after day. This thing will never die.
I'm thinking of buying another tv to hook it up to, so I can get myself a better one, but my girlfriend says that's even more wasteful than having two DVD players.
Now I'm thinking maybe I'll have a kid so he/she/he-she can have it. It can be like a punishment for whenever he/she/it does anything wrong, like having sex before marriage or dancing. That's not wasteful, right?
Kids are like investments. You feed and water them for a couple of years, and then you either make them start working the land, or you sell them for big profits.
What?! This DVD player has clearly made me insane. Don't buy it.
omg, it really plays all regions! [Posted on 2008-10-31]
I didn't think it would work for me, but it does and now I can watch DVDs encoded to any region. I like to watch movies dubbed in foreign languages, so this is awesome! Thank you!
Philips DVD player a hit with my hubby [Posted on 2008-11-03]
I bought this multiformat DVD player as a gift for my husband since our DVD player recently died. He loved that it was so easy to set up and it also plays audio CDs and MP3s. Great value!
Good DVD player for multi region DVD viewing [Posted on 2008-11-11]
This is a good DVD player. Once you program it to play all regions, it works quite well. An earlier reviewer has posted the instructions on how to program it. I have only played Region 1 and Region 2 on this DVD player so I don't know how it works with other regions. The only real downside to the DVD player is that the remote doesn't have an eject/open button or volume control. Overall though, it is a quality DVD player that plays DVDs from multiple regions.
Easy to set up, easy to use [Posted on 2008-11-12]
I purchased this dvd player as an emergency replacement, and so far have not regretted it! It was easy to set up, and is easy to use. I had it playing my region 2 disks in a matter of moments. The drawer is a little slow in opening, but that alone is no reason to send it back. Just wait the 30 seconds and it'll open!
My only complaint was in the shipping. I ordered it from Target through Amazon (as they had the better price). I received it ahead of schedule, but was dismayed when I saw the packaging. Or should I say lack of packaging? All they did was slap the shipping information on the dvd box itself and sent it along it's way. I would have preferred it to arrive within another box, masking what the product was. They way it was shipped just screams "Steal Me!"
But, as that's my only complaint, and not necessarily Amazon's fault, I give it four stars!
