Philips DVD580M Lifestyle DVD Player
Size Does Matter!
I just purchased this DVD player at my local Target. I wasn't looking to purchase another DVD player since I already own 2. However, when I saw the size of this player plus all the great features and the numerous formats of audio/video playback support I couldnt resist it. If that wasn't enough I couldnt believe the price it was on sale for. It was on sale for [X]. I thought it was a mistake since they are normally reatailed at [X]. I'd figure what do I have to lose? Luckily, they had one left but someone had apparently opened the box for the old \\"let me see what's inside peek\\" The target employee told me since I have the last one,and is already open, he would discount me an additional [X] off! Talk about a deal...everything was in the box. Sure as noted by the last review you cant use the \\"volume and audio adjustment\\" button...but who cares! use the original remote for the digital reciever. I have thrown all types of DVD movies, MP3's JPGS, even an SACD CD and played them all flawlessly. The picture quality (using the Pr/Pb/and Y jacks) is superb! I love this little machine! IT has both the coaxial AND Optical inputs. The only thing that would of given this player 5 stars is no progressive scan (for HDTV Ready TV's)...otherwise  GREAT UNIT...even for the [X]! Once you see the size (think of it as a DVD-ROM drive only slight larger) Build quality is also excellent. Once I have really \\"broken this thing in\\" I will come back for a second review.
