Philips DVP642 DivX-Certified Progressive-Scan DVD Player
Great DVD Player
And a great price. I was looking for a DVD player that could easily be converted to play DVDs from outside region 1. This unit has that ability. A secret code can be entered through the remote to change the region or to make it region free! <br /> <br />The unit feels well built with a (mostly) metal case. The remote has lots of features, but I keep mixing up the chapter forward and reverse with fast forward and revind buttons. The fast forward only goes up to 8x I wish it would go faster. I love the dynamic range control. It evens out the volume on movies that go from too-quiet-to-hear to waking-the-dead-loud. I don't have to keep turning the volume up and down. <br /> <br />I've had mine for nearly 6 months and no troubles. Hopefully the problems some others have reported have been fixed.
