Philips DVP642 DivX-Certified Progressive-Scan DVD Player
Great Player - Has its problems but overall...
This DVD player is amazing.  It really can play just about everything that you throw at it.  However, it does have its faults, namely the failure to stop working after 6 to 8 months.  <br /> <br />Luckily, there is a fix.  Phillips decided to use some crappy capacitors inside of the unit.  If you do a google search for DVP642 and capacitor fix you should be directed to a couple of guides. (WARNING: does require you to open up the unit and replace a component of the electronics so do so at your own risk) <br /> <br />Its a relatively easy fix with very little need to know how to solder correctly.  Best part is, the part to fix it only costs $1.50 at Radio Shack.  So for a $60 and a $1 fix you have an awesome DVD player (if it ever does break). <br /> <br />True that Phillips should have made it correct in the first place instead of just using cheap parts but I think its still an awesome player.
