Philips DVD727 Progressive-Scan DVD Player
Perfect Combo of features
I bought it couple of days back for just $69 frm Amazon and tested almost all the features.<BR>1. Plays all the formats specified in the manual<BR>2. NTSC/PAL color decoding is perfect without distortions<BR>3. Caption feature works fine.So even if your TV cant recognise captions no probs.This player will encode and send with Video signal.<BR>4.Region free hack is simple Just open the tray , press 9999 and 0 frm remote with pauses between every digit.You'll see Region 0 on the screen and you are all set to play any DVD frm any reqion!!!<BR>5.Picture quality is excellent (Its Phillips ofcourse!!!)<BR>6.Remote is lousy(look wise) and hence it looses one star in my rating!!!<BR>Final Note : Great buy for the price....
