Philips DVD727 Progressive-Scan DVD Player
Phillips... GREAT for 6 MONTHS!! Then Kaboom! :(
So I absolutely loved this player.  It played everything I tried to put into it.  It played PAL and other region disks beautifully with the 999,0 code.  It even played mpeg files, and mp3s on cdr!!  FOR 6 MONTHS that is.....  Suddenly it started displaying chinese on the led screen!!!  Next it started just stopping movies randomly after 10 seconds.  Now it works about 25 pecent of the time...  Mostly it locks up and I have to unplug it, and try again.  (...)  And with the warentee only good for 90 days, its just a dust collector now.What is worst, is its very common for this to happen so I've gathered on dvd forums.  (...)
