Philips DVP642 DivX-Certified Progressive-Scan DVD Player
Broke in 10 months!
This DVD player worked just fine for about ten months, then today, the door wont open and it refused to read any disk. I first thought was a software problem and tried disconnected the power supply for a while and put it back on. No luck! I will call philips tomorrow to test their customer service...  BTW, the playback quality via component output is not as good as many reviewers indicated. Using the same HD LCD tv, this player's picure is much worse than what I got from PC through a VGA cable. Themes with large areas of single color are noticeably pixalated.  Progressive scan wont help; high quality AVI file (around 1.3G file for 2 hour film) wont eliminated it.     Follow up:  Philips said the warrantee only good for 90 days, after that and wihtin one year they will charge $41 (plus shipping) for replacement.  I would give it one star if I knew that's the case. People, don't be fooled by the price or the good performance review (which I mostly agree until it broke down), they set up a short warrantee for a reason...
