Amazon.com Product Description Tap into multimedia fun with Philips' broad-format, high-style, and ultra-slim DVP642 DVD player. The DVP642 is not only a high-end progressive-scan DVD player equipped to offer scintillating images on high-definition and HD-ready TVs, it's a tech-savvy player that spins your MP3- and JPEG-encoded recordable CDs (as well as Kodak's and Fuji's variants of the same) and CDs loaded with MPEG-4 and DivX video (3.11, 4.x, and 5.x files), perfect for viewing Internet-sourced content in your home theater. Want more? The player also converts Region 1/All Region PAL-formatted discs (the video standard in Europe) for viewing on standard NTSC televisions (and vice-versa, if only for video CDs).
The DVP642's progressive-scan functionality allows compatible TVs to display the even and odd numbered lines of an image in a single pass. This minimizes screen flicker, which is easier on your eyes.
Whether your living room is currently home to an HDTV or you're merely thinking of "someday," the DVP642 stands ready to deliver the full potential of your DVDs. Progressive scanning, referred to as 480p for the number of horizontal lines that compose the video image, creates a picture using twice the scan lines of a conventional DVD picture, giving you higher resolution and sharper images while eliminating nearly all motion artifacts.
Playback options include five-disc resume, which lets you pick up where you left off on your five most recently viewed DVDs (not applicable for MP3 or JPEG CDs), disc-lock parental controls, and picture zoom for magnification of select images.
The player will play JPEG images one by one automatically, letting you zoom in, rotate, or flip the picture vertically or horizontally. For MP3 playback, the player offers track time display, album and track selection, and repeat (disc/album/track). The DivX media format is MPEG-4 based video compression that lets you save large files like films, movie trailers, and music videos on recordable media.
Philips' 4x video upsampling offers smoother images even when viewing interlaced (nonprogressive) signals through the player's component-video, S-video, or standard composite-video outputs. SmartPicture provides optimum picture settings for color, brightness, saturation, contrast, sharpness, etc., to enhance your overall viewing experience at all times.

Great DVD PlayerOctober 2, 2008 This is a great little DVD player I've had since 2004. Originally got it due to not having a DVD player and wanting to start getting and watching them. Was one of the lower priced models at the time, but is still working in 2008 and reads perfectly. I also got it because it reads burned DVDs and at the time seemed to be one of the few that did that. I know everything is going HD with Blu Ray, but if you are looking for a simple DVD player I would get this one.
Great Buy!!September 15, 2008 This is a great DVD player. It even plays my "home-made" discs. That makes it a must-have! It's SO good, that I've recommended it to all my friends & I've even bought one for my parents.
Slim DVD player and still has S-VIDEOAugust 27, 2008 I wasn't looking for anything fancy when I purchased this DVD player. I needed a DVD player with a slim profile, still has S-VIDEO and is cheap; this fit the bill and works great. I also gave one to my sis for x-mas a couple of years ago and she hasn't had any problems with it. Many DVD players are no longer shipping with the S-VIDEO port. If you have an older TV with no HD ports like HDMI or Component but still want decent video quality, this is should do the job just fine. It's also slim and is not ugly. I've been using it for a year now with no issues and my sister has gone 2 years with hers with no issues either.
my favorite dvd playerAugust 12, 2008 This is a solid and impressive dvd player. I bought mine about three years ago, it was the best deal at the time, and with a code I punched into the remote I made my unit region free. It's played everything I've thrown at it. It's sleek and attractive, runs well and I really have no complains about it. I give it two thumbs up.
Very good DVD playerJuly 27, 2008 Have been using it for more than 2 yrs. Never had any problems. Plays even messed up DVDs.
