Philips DVP642 DivX-Certified Progressive-Scan DVD Player
Died after just 6 months, warranty only 3 months!!!!!
I can't believe that Philips wouldn't cover this!  The unit won't power up any more (with DVD stuck in the unit), after only 6 months of use.  I called Philips to get it repaired / replaced, and they said that the warranty was only good for 3 months, and that I qualified for a \\"reduced cost\\" excange.  Well, reduced cost was about list price + the shipping for the old unit back to Philips.  No thanks.  So I asked to speak to a supervisor (really didn't seem fair), and was told that all the supervisors we occupied, and I should call back later.  I called back 4!! times (and fight their automated operator for about 10 minutes each time), and was never able to get in touch with a supervisor.  Their service is terrible, and their warranty is horrible.  I will not buy another philips product again.  In the end, I tore the unit apart, salvaged my DVD, and bought a Pioneer.
