9 Years and still going

I have owned this DVD player now for 9 years and it is still running strong. It plays all other DVD formats as well and does not reject any disc. Very good for the price.

Avoid at all cost!!!!

After minimal use, the DVD player did not work. Although able to recognize audio CDs, it failed to recognize any DVDs, ejecting them after attempting to read the data. I bought a lens cleaning disc for $10, thinking the laser had to be cleaned. Still,...

Dependable, hackable, and inexpensive.

 

I've had my Philips DVD711 for three years now. I got it for free from a pharmaceutical company, and because of this, I've had no fear when it comes to hacking the bios of this machine.

Cheap, can hack bios, resume function, reads many mp3, cd, dvd, vcd formats.

No dolby 5.1, some artifact, confusing remote.

Product Specifications

When Philips co-invented the DVD, the promise of cinema quality at home became a reality. Now, with 10-bit Video Digital-to-Analogue Converters, Philips Intelligent DVDs raise the standard further, with astounding crystal clear pictures comparable to original studio maters. The DVD711 is an affordable DVD player with excellent features. A simple menu system makes it easy to use and provides you with ultimate control and viewing enjoyment with component video output (YUV). You can have up to 5 different movie discs running in your DVD711, but you won't have to remember which point you stopped watching a movie and will return to that spot even if other discs have been watched in the meantime. It has full compatibility playback with DVD, SVCD, VCD, CD, CD-R, CD-RW and the latest interactive DVD software. Superior picture quality is assured with features such as SMART picture, which lets you change the color settings for an optimal picture on your TV, without changing the normal settings for the broadcast TV. Component Video Output gives you the highest possible quality video signal, while Auto Picture Control reduces noise and increases sharpness and contrast and will adjust digital filtering and black level shift. DVD711 also has Perfect Still picture with multiple zoom. To work seamlessly with the other components of your home cinema system, the Philips Intelligent DVD711 features excellent connectivity. For a complete home cinema experience, great sound is as important as an outstanding picture. Digital Theatre System puts you right in the thick of the action, with ultra-real sound quality. Even without extra equipment, 3-D TruSurround Sound gives you an incredible multidimensional sound effect. Compared with standard 20-bit audio D/A converters, Philips Intelligent DVDs feature 24-bit bitstream continuous calibration D/A converters, for a greater signal-to-noise ratio, a wider dynamic range and greater listening pleasure!
