Philips DVD793C 5-Disc Changer/Player Reviewed

 

When I installed my first multi-disc changer in my Army barracks room about 15 years ago, many of my friends questioned why I needed so many discs on hand at a time. Certainly I was able to get up and......

Great Player Never Had A Problem

I have this DVD/CD Player and it still works great after using it for over 10 years. The remote works great as well. Even thought it's design for an earlier technology the sound quality and video is still very good. It's made for standard DVDs only but...

Poorly constructed

 

Poorly constructed

There is apparently a problem with the Philips DVD-793 and the optical disk rotation motor wearing out. The motor eventually wears out and doesn't have enough torque to overcome the initial static friction and start spinning the disc. The player kicks...

Why such low ratings?

 

Why such low ratings?

I don't get why this mahcine has only a 3 for a rating. It rates much highter than that. Crystal clear picture. If people are complaining about what it doesn't do they are fools. It does everything it says it was do excellently!

DO NOT BUY PHILIPS - WILL NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS

My Philips DVD793CH 5 Disc DVD Player stopped working within a year after I had purchased it. Comes up with a "NO DISC" error and refuses to play discs. Only live customer service personnel you can talk to is a service center in Jamaica - very rude and...

I wouldn't...

 

I wouldn't...

I bought this player for two reasons; first, I was an employee of Philips, and second, the Philips machines seem to play the most formats for DVDs and CDs. I bought it in December 2002, and in November 2003, all of a sudden, it started saying "no disc"...

DVD793CH No Disc Error

 

DVD793CH No Disc Error

I used this player three times since Feb, 2003. Now I get a no disc error and Philips won't stand behind it. All they will do for me is exchange it for a $60.00 fee.

Excellent features, great price

Terrific features--used it to watch DVDs, VCDs, listen to MP3's and Audio CDs. Has all the inputs (component, optical, S-vid). The cons are that there is no direct-disc feature on the remote (ie, you have to keep hitting "change disc" to cycle through...
