Philips DVP642 DivX-Certified Progressive-Scan DVD Player
Plays your PAL dvds
I purchased this machine for the sole purpose of watching PAL encoded dvds. After a quick simple multi-region hack, it works as advertised. <br />One or two things that could have made it a better machine - a speedier fast forward (instead of of the max 8 speed.) Another improvement would have been a better designed remote although it's cetainly not the worst!  <br /> <br />Bottom line: seems to be a decent good value machine. It's real selling point however is it's ability to play PAL, which makes this unit almost unique in the US market.
