Philips DVP642 DivX-Certified Progressive-Scan DVD Player
Price is attractive but Quality is cheap
Hi, <br /> <br />I bought Philips DVD player DVP 642 in Dec'04 through Amazon. For the amount that I paid, I thought it was great. Played very well with little issues. But one fine day it threw \\"No Disc\\" message for all the DVDs that I tried on. So I thought perhaps the lens is dirty and cleaned it up but to no avail. So, I called up the Customer Service center and they advised me to contact their authorized service center nearby. When I contacted I was told that they would charge $40 for the repair work.  <br /> <br />I did some research in the net and found that there are quite a few people who have had this problem with Philips DVP 642 model.  <br /> <br />My advice is to spend a little more money and buy a quality DVD player far better than this one. Although the price is attractive, affordable etc its not really worth it. Also the customer service is horrible. You will have to wait for a longtime before someone attends your call.   <br />
