Philips DVD727 Progressive-Scan DVD Player
Great Unit!
This unit plays EVERYTHING.. including VCD/SVCD/Raw MPEG/MP3/WMA files off of RECORDED DVD's and CD's. This is the best thing about this unit. I could not find any other player that would do this. Skipping from file to file and scanning thru files is a breeze, even with 100+ VCD files on a single DVD-R disc.<br />The PAL->NTSC and back conversion on the fly is also flawless!<br />Picture quality on DVD's is very very good.. much better than expected for a [the price] DVD player. Menu and remote are easy to use as well.<br />Only complaint is the coaxial digital audio output has to be switched back and forth to get audio from DVD's or regular mpeg audio files.. but using the Optical output doesn't have this problem.<br />This unit appears to be made from the same Chinese manufacturer that used to make the old Apex units (AD-600a), although I could be wrong on that.<br />Either way, it's a great \\"Plays Everything\\" unit that doesn't seem to sacrifice video quality.<br />Highly Recommended!
