Philips DVD727 Progressive-Scan DVD Player
The Honeymoon Doesn't Last Long
Bought the unit at Amazon in Oct. 2003 for $70 (the asking price today is ridiculous). By early July 2004, it would not play--it stuck on &quot;Root&quot; on display panel. Called Phillips phone support three times and got three different suggestions--from Phillipines &quot;tech experts&quot;--on how to correct the problem. None worked, so paid the $29.99, plus $8 UPS shipping. I wasn't happy paying $38 for an exchange unit just eight months after purchase. Philips--perhaps to its credit--sent a model 624 instead of a 727. I gather the 624 is newer and may have been de-bugged of the 727's faults. We'll see.
