Philips DVD782CH 5-Disc DVD Player
If you buy this, be sure to get the extended service plan
I'm on my second 782C in four months.  I'm sure glad I got the service plan, because it looks like I'm going to have to take this one back too.  After it runs for about a half-hour, I have trouble with stuttering that eventually leads to a complete lock up.  Granted, this is an improvement over the first one, which wouldn't get past the FBI warning on my Suspiria DVD.<br />To be fair, most DVD's I don't have a problem with except for a little stuttering here and there, and I can get rid of it by starting over the DVD and skipping to where I left off, but I have at least two that I've had trouble getting past the first hour of.  The afore mentioned Susperia and another Anchor Bay title called Phenomina.  I had a friend test both these DVD's on his player and they played through for him with no problem.<br />Perhaps the whole DVD thing is just a bill of good they sold us, two of my friends also have  problem DVD's they can't play on their players.  Nothing destroys a scary movie like stuttering, freezing, and starting over.  And nothing turns me into a ludite faster then unreliable technology.  Get your act together Philips, et al!
