Philips DVP642 DivX-Certified Progressive-Scan DVD Player
What a disappointment
I bought this item for the multi-regional/format function. That works okay.  However, all my DVD+R/RW freeze after 45 minutes. My long MP3's begin to skip and garble after 1 1/2-2 hours of playing. <br />I spent literally hours on the line with Philips tech support, who were polite, but not very helpful. Finally they suggested I exchange the item for a new one.  I did, but the new one did exactly the same thing.  I tested my DVD-R's on an old Panasonic that I have and on a Pioneer from a neighbor and they worked perfectly.  Needless to say this second one is going back as well. Shame on Philips!
