Philips DVD621AT DVD Player
Look to Sony for a smart buy
Well, I have now bought 4 DVD players for separate locations about the house and by far, the Philips DVD621has been the biggest disappointment yet.  Load time is frustratingly long, about 45 seconds to even recognize that a disc is in the drawer, then, you guessed it, more load time. The player does not offer any display for what chapter you are on and in more DVD plays than not, the movies begin skipping around an hour and a half in. I have also experienced &quot;freezes&quot; if a movie has been paused for more than about an hour. When I say &quot;freezes,&quot; I mean the entire player locks up (including the power button) and the only way to reclaim your DVD is to unplug the unit.  Avoid at all cost and buy a fast, reliable and features aplenty Sony.
