Philips DVP5140 Multiformat DVD Player with DivX, MP3, Windows Media Support
Where is the fast forward? - UPDATED
This product from Philips is leagues above the Samsung DVD player it is replacing because the quality is so much better, though price isn't much more. I bought this Philips DVD player in order to play PAL discs, which is does rather well. It plays everything, as advertised and it seems to be constructed very well. Normally I am a Sony customer and this is the first Philips product I have bought. Based on its performance, I would not hesitate to purchase additional Philips products. The only complaints I have about the DVP5140 are its absence of a fast forward, or scan, feature and a frame-by-frame play. It will skip to the next chapter or track, but will not scan the current chapter. This is highly annoying and, at least I thought, a standard feature for DVD players. The lack of frame-by-frame is perturbing, but I can live without it. Other than that, this is a terrific value.<br />*UPDATE - I tried pausing the picture and then pressing the FF button, but this only skips to the next chapter. This does not advance the picture frame-by-frame.
