Philips DVD782CH 5-Disc DVD Player
This is as Bad as They Come...
I whole-heartedly agree with the below reviews.  This is a total piece of trash, I would not even give a product like this away for free.  When I first purchased this model, I went home, plugged it in, and the tray would not open!  I then took it back to the store and got another one.  This time, I am encountering the problems that everyone else has listed--skipping and freezing--even for new discs.  My success rate with being able to play a disc from start to finish without problem is less than 50%, which is COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE.<br />Even worse, I wrote Phillips a scathing letter with no acknowledgement from them whatsoever.  I was going to send it back to them to get it repaired, but after reading the reviews below, I won't bother.  I'll just pitch this in the trash, so thanks to everyone for saving me the postage.  I wish I had seen these reviews before I purchased this piece of garbage.
