Philips DVD727 Progressive-Scan DVD Player
Might Not Be The Best
This player scored five stars for everything it is and does for the price.  Recently I discovered a problem.  The S-Video out records as a letterbox picture on my DVD recorder.  It is therefore unusable, and I have to use the composite video out for full-screen recording.  Everything else is great.  This is a good player to buy because it reads DVD-R's and everything that even my $400 Philips DVD recorder can't read.  But it may not be the best DVD player on the market due to the problem mentioned above.  I could either take a chance buying this model again or buy another similar model such as the DVD726.  I love Philips products.  You will not hear many people say that in these reviews.
