Shopping for a DVD player, one basically looks for picture, features, good price and reliability. We picked this machine because it was feature-loaded and on sale at Circuit City. We basically crossed our fingers and hoped the picture was good enough and reliability would work out. We found that this machine does have an impressive array of features. Also, if you are looking for great sound, this is a terrific machine in that respect. However, the picture has been a great disappointment. We noticed lines ("wrinkles") around figures on the screen, a washed out appearance to the screen and none of the 3-dimensional quality that one can find in decent DVD players which also produce a razor-sharp picture, sadly missing from this machine. The movies watched looked like old movies on a rural TV station. At one point in DVD's we have watched, the machine would pause, garble, seem to sputter before getting back on track with reading the DVD--we think this might be due to the layering in DVD's which some machines unfortunately have trouble dealing with. This apparently is one of those. We are disappointed that our attempt to save a few $$ was not successful, but fortunately we have the ability to exchange for another machine from the kind people at Circuit City.

4.0 out of 5 stars Superb for it's price, September 26, 2001

This review is from: Philips Magnavox DVD611AT DVD Player (Electronics)

I recently bought this dvd player and I have to say it's incredible. It has the essentials of a good dvd player, but not all the capabalities of reading CD-R's and so-forth. It has great sound options. So, even if you don't have surround sound, it sounds acceptional. The only problem that I've seen is that when you mark your spot in the movie, it only stays there saved as long as you don't eject the dvd or turn the dvd player off. Besides that, this dvd is a great buy with great picture and sound. This is a must get for anybody who just wants a cheap dvd player that has the essentials fulfilled.

When I was searching for info on DVD players I found a few reviews on other web-sites from consumers who had this DVD player and complained that it skipped. Therefore, I bought it with the understanding that it might not met my needs. It has performed wodnerfully. I have not experienced any skipping or other problems with the player. With that said it is a very basic DVD player. There aren't any fancy frills on it, but I wasn't really looking for any. I wanted something that was easy to use, had a component video and audio output, and would do a reliable job of playing my favorite movies. The 621 does that at a price that I liked.
