Philips DVP642 DivX-Certified Progressive-Scan DVD Player
Little disappionted
I done alot of research on these players in the last couple of weeks and I went through a lot of trouble to get this one because they are sold out everywhere.  But the end result is I returned because it couldent play my dvd+r discs; my old panasonic which is 2 years old could play them.  Couple good things about this player is it did play, VCD, SVCD, JPEG, well.  I didn't try divx.  Regular DVD playback didn't play all that well either.  If the DVD has any kind of dust or tiny scratches it plays horribly!  I called customer service and they said the lazer is really picky.  Before I bought this one I purchased a JVC XV-NP10SL which was even worse than this player, which I returned as well.  So after took back the Philips I purchased a Magnavox MDV456/17 at best buy, it looks like Fisher Price built it, but it plays everything I through at it, and it's rock solid every time and does not seemed to get confused when I change formats like the other players I reviewed.  The best news is half the price of the Philips which comes to $49 bucks!
