Philips DVP642 DivX-Certified Progressive-Scan DVD Player
Flawless
Is there any reason why almost every single review here has to use the words \\"everything I throw at it\\".  I mean come on people, get creative and stop using the same phrase over and over and over again.  In any event, this machine performed flawlessly no matter what I threw at it.  I can confirm that DVD-R and DTS work fine, don't know why anyone had problems with it.  Amazing unit for the money, no more having to watch DIVX movies on my computer!<br /><br />I've played many Xvid disks as well with no problem.  Just want people to know that as of November, Amazon was shipping this unit with the LATEST firmware already installed, the one that allows subtitles, so no need to track down and install the firmware yourself, it's already included.  Also, all the complaints about the remote are unfounded.  Sure, it's simple, but it works.  There is an eject button (STOP for 2 seconds), and the menu is simple, but who wants a complicated menu?  Also, make sure you go into the menu manually and choose composite or S-Video for your output as it won't automatically do it for you.<br /><br />Great product for this price, my only complaint is the 8x fast forward speed, seems this is an issue that can be fixed with a firmware upgrade.
