Philips DVD580M Lifestyle DVD Player
Stylish and Functional
I would actually rate this DVD player at 4.5 stars. I have 4 DVD players and I like this one the best. It has all the latest-greatest video connections. It is small, has great form without any loss of function. My other players are all tray loaders but I like the slot loader on this one. If it resides in a cabinet with doors, you don't have to leave space for the tray to open. The downside to this player is that even though it is 12 Volt, it does not come with a twelve volt cigarette lighter adaptor, nor do they make one.  Another neg for the unit is that while being far from loud, the motor is slightly noisier than my other DVD players. I guess this is because of the slot loader.         Being a digital camera/PC user I can also appreciate the players portability and ability to read JPEG files copied on CD-Rom from my personal computer. I can use it to run a slide show of all my photographs on my large screen TV. This is great entertainment for guests!         I have used this player for about 3 months now with no problems. All said and done I would buy this player again.
