1.0 out of 5 stars Look to Sony for a smart buy, September 19, 2002

This review is from: Philips DVD621AT DVD Player (Electronics)

Well, I have now bought 4 DVD players for separate locations about the house and by far, the Philips DVD621has been the biggest disappointment yet. Load time is frustratingly long, about 45 seconds to even recognize that a disc is in the drawer, then, you guessed it, more load time. The player does not offer any display for what chapter you are on and in more DVD plays than not, the movies begin skipping around an hour and a half in. I have also experienced "freezes" if a movie has been paused for more than about an hour. When I say "freezes," I mean the entire player locks up (including the power button) and the only way to reclaim your DVD is to unplug the unit. Avoid at all cost and buy a fast, reliable and features aplenty Sony.

1.0 out of 5 stars Manufacturing problems, November 25, 2001

This review is from: Philips DVD621AT DVD Player (Electronics)

After reading the other reviews here, I was hesitant to buy this model, but it was advertised locally at an unbeatable price, so I took the plunge. Unfortunately, my gamble didn't pay off because the unit has the same problem described in another review. It gets half way through a disc and then freezes. This happened on both a rental disc and a brand new one. Once the unit froze, none of the controls worked, including the power button and the only way to turn off the machine was to unplug it. While some units may not be defective, clearly enough of them are that you should consider something else. Mine's going back to the store to be traded for another brand.

1.0 out of 5 stars DVD621 has internal problems according to Philips!, August 24, 2001

This review is from: Philips DVD621AT DVD Player (Electronics)

I received this about 2 weeks ago and have had nothing but problems. It freezes on movies then will go blank and say insert playable disk. It does this on every single DVD put in the machine. I called philips about the problem and was told by them that this is an internal manufacturing problem with this particular model. ALL of them are like this. I waited 4 weeks after I ordered this to receive it. Now I have to wait for the RMA letter from Philips, ship it back at MY cost, then they will ship me a replacement. If you are in the market for a DVD player, stay away from this one.
