Philips DVP642 DivX-Certified Progressive-Scan DVD Player
DEAD after 8 months..!
Avoid this unit at all cost. it simply died after 8 months of normal use. The standy button started blinking and the tray would  not open. This DVD player unit has become useless. Disconnecting the unit from the power supply for a couple of hours does not solve the problem. The unit simply would not respond to the remote or the buttons on the unit.  <br />It's DEAD!
