Philips DVD724AT Progressive-Scan DVD Player
Started with a bang... ended with a fizz... fizz... fizzle
This little guy appears to be a great value for the price... but as the saying goes... you get what you pay for. After roughly three months (as soon as the warranty expires), the unit starts to do random things... things... things... like repeating sections. Stoping suddenly, and then restarting, and just ending the movie you were watching. It would cost more to repair then to fix... so needless to say - I won't be buying a Philips DVD player again.  UPDATE (May of 2003)  The warranty and customer service are amoung the WORST I have ever incountered.  I took the unit back to where I had purchased it, they in turn sent it to Philips (who had it for 5 weeks because they were \\"back logged.\\" - and then sent the unit back to the merchent stating \\"it couldn't be fixed (they stated they couldn't get parts).  It was less then 4 months old!  When I called customer service to see what to do they were curt and told me to mail it (at my cost) to them with a check ... and they would send me a new DVD player.  I opted to ask the merchant I bought from if they would swap it out - which they did... I might mention, they let me choose another manufacturers product... and I bet Philips sales tank at this particular store (I made sure every salesmen on the floor knew what happened and how I was treated).  Its a good product if it works... but if it doesn't... watch out!!
