Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
Small size does matter--especially when you're trying to keep your entertainment center from taking over the living room. Philips helps keep it tamed with the slim-profile DVD622/37 multi-format DVD player, which measures just 2 inches high. It provides compatibility with a wide variety of disc formats and digital files, including DVD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW, CD-R/RW, MP3, and JPEG (Picture CD).
Progressive Scan doubles the vertical resolution of the image resulting in a noticeably sharper picture. Instead of sending a field comprising the odd lines to the screen first, followed by the field with the even lines, both fields are written at one time. A full image is created instantaneously, using the maximum resolution. At such a speed, your eye perceives a sharper picture with no line structure.
Its 192 KHz sampling enables you to have an accurate representation of the original sound curves. Together with a 24-bit resolution, more information is captured from the original analogue sound wave form, giving a much richer audio reproduction. Other features include PAL/NTSC playback, JPEG photo slideshows (with zoom and rotate functionality), Dolby Digital decoding, and tri-lingual menu display (English, French, Spanish). It offers the following video and audio connections:
- Composite AV (RCA) Out: 1
- S-Video Out: 1
- Component Video Out (Y PB PR): 1
- Coaxial digital audio Out: 1

1.0 out of 5 stars
all discs are bad discs for this DVD player,
By
This review is from: Philips DVP622/37 Progressive-Scan DVD Player (Electronics)
This DVD player is just bad. It is slow when scanning, and does not play many DVDs for unknown reasons, saying that they are "bad disks". This includes trials with new DVDs, used DVDs, copies of DVDs; the player does not discriminate by type or age of the DVDs. I have tried the same DVDs on a Koss DVP2161, and did not encounter any problem playing them.

Won't read discs!,
By
This review is from: Philips DVP622/37 Progressive-Scan DVD Player (Electronics)
This dvd player failed to recognize all copied dvds I made. The box clearly states that this dvd player will play DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+RW. Well, I tried both -R and -RW types. Bad disc message is all that I received. No recognition of anything I had recorded. So, I went and put both DVDs into my panasonic dvd player and they played great. I would say stay away from this dvd player.

Great, slimline player!,
This review is from: Philips DVP622/37 Progressive-Scan DVD Player (Electronics)
I picked up this player because I have a 5" LCD that I wanted to set up with a nice, slim DVD player in my Toyota Rav4 so that the kids can watch DVDs in the backseat when we're on the road. I look at some Cyberhome and Oritron units that were smaller, but the reviews on them were mostly horrible, with usually 2-3 people with 4-5 stars and 70-80 with 1-2 stars. For $10 more, I thought the DVD622/37 would be a great deal. It fits under the driver's seat in my car perfectly, and so far it's played all the DVD-R and DVD+R discs I've thrown at it. I would say for $10 more, it would be crazy to pass not this unit in favor of an Oritron or Cyberhome, which seem to have a lifespan of 2-12 months.
