Philips DVP642 DivX-Certified Progressive-Scan DVD Player
Didn't even last 8 months!!
While I used this item it was fine and I only used regular DVDs in this DVD player.  I did not use it frequently but regardless, after 5 months and 25 days this player just stopped working.  No lights, no power, I can't even get my DVD out of the player!  I called Phillips and their troubleshooting advice was to unplug it and then push the start button... ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!  And since the warranty is only 90 days they could not replace the unit.  They could exchange the unit for $40 + tax.  Plus I have to pay for the shipping to ship the original unit back.  I paid $60 for this product originally, why should I pay another $60 for another crappy player!? <br />Save yourself the trouble and spend more money on a better unit/brand.  I bought my father a Sony DVD player YEARS ago and not a single problem.
