I just got this dvd player to go with my refub 37" Philips LCD that I bought at a good price from Overstock. I bought this player because it was pretty much the cheapest HDMI player I could find. I hooked up the HDMI (had to buy my own HDMI cable) but unfortunately you can't get digital coax audio output with HDMI until you upgrade the firmware to atleast v2.24. My player had v2.20 so I downloaded v2.27 from the Philips site. Took about 15 mins total of which 5 mins were to flash it. Then all you do is change the audio setting from PCM to ALL while the player isn't playing a disc. Overall the player seems good for the price although it feels a little chinsey, especially in regards to the disc tray smoothness when it opens and closes. The remote is no frills and is very tiny but after a bit of use I found it quite functional. Fairly good all things considered, although I have yet to test the HDMI video vs Component vs CBVS to see if there is really a big difference in video quality. This player will probably do me until the HD-DVD war is over.

This is a very sleak looking product. Wors well.. Only reason I did not do 5/5 is that is takes a bit long for dvd drawer to open. There is a delay to it. otherwise it is a great value

I own several DVD players and this unit is one of the best. HDMI makes hook-up a breeze. Controls are no more complicated than any other and actually offer a few extra bells and whistles. I use it for DVDs and CDs and the quality for both is excellent. I'm using this particular unit with a 37" HD LCD TV w/ a surround sound stereo system. The unit gives true progressive scan picture quality and the HD upscale feature produces a near HD image. I've been impressed with Phillips/Magnavox Video endevours in the past couple of years having bought a HD LCD TV and another progressive scan DVD player prior to this unit. I love HD technology but this progessive scan player works wonderfully and will do me just fine until manufactures get off their high horses and bring HD DVD players prices down to earth.

I have no problems with this DVD player. It is easy to connect and works great. Nice value for the money.

This DVD player was easy to instal and operate. I have had it for a couple of months now and it has done its job well. No malfunctions or problems of any kind. Remote is basic and easy to use.

This was a great bargin. Our old one kept sticking and we have not had a problem since we got this. It was easy to set up and easy to use.

I am mostly happy with this purchase. I couldn't beat the quality for how much I paid. There were two small problems however, the AAA batteries for the remote were not provided and when I was going through all the menu features it had a disc lock feature that I accidentally activated and could not deactivate even with the help of the manual. This feature seems great if you have kids that you don't want watching certain movies, however I have found it extremely annoying. Other than that I'm very happy with this product.

I could not be happier with my purchase. The price was unbeatable, the shipping was extremely fast and the quaity of the product is great. Exactly what you would get in the store but without the hassle of crowds, not in stock, open box buy only, etc. I will definitely continue shopping with Overstock.

I ended up giving this thing away. DVDs got stuck in it and it was quite noisy during operation!!

Easy to connect. Good picture quality. Not too bulky. I would buy it again.

This is a great product for the price. I have been using it for about 3 weeks now and not one problem. Plays cd's,mp3,dvd all works well. Easy to set up.

The DVD player works well. The first one came with a remote that wouldn't work. I was sent a new replacement unit, both remote and player. That is fine. Excellent service of a defective part on original shipment. The service wins future business.

The DVD player seems very satisfactory, except that it is noisy; not to a great degree, but more than one of this quality would have. That makes it seem overpriced. I could recommend it, but only with this note. Vendors response was superb in timing and delivery.

Easy to hook up, operates smoothly. I have been very happy with it. For the price, it can't be beat.

Really like the slim profile...almost looks like it's not there. Works great! Priced right.

This new Phillips DVD player gives a crystal clear picture on my HD TV ¿ much better than my old DVD player. Also thanks for getting it here so fast!

We don't play that many DVDs and this player died much earlier than other DVD players I have had.

Had this a few weeks now. Plays dvd's beautifully. Plays music cd's with no problem, but I just discovered it will not play high definition dvd's as advertised and am disappointed. Some dvd's make a loud noise when being read making the machine sound like it's going to take off when coming to the root menu but plays silently otherwise. Easy to set up and operate. Remote did not come with batteries, and would not work at first but I think it was just cold. Works fine now. All in all, not a bad little machine.

Although it seems a little slow to load, and the remote's not very intuitive, this is a decent (cheap) DVD player. Excellent for an office/bedroom tv.

The DVD player makes interesting sounds when inserting a disk, but stops once the movie begins.
