Philips DVP642 DivX-Certified Progressive-Scan DVD Player
Firmware Updates
I have been reading all of the mixed reviews on this player and I have to say many people are unaware that you can update this unit with a firmware download.  It seems when it won't play discs it is the cause of cheap media or the media is a high speed such as 16x.  Go to the Philips website or search the web for firmware updates on this unit.  I have updated my two units they play everything.
