This was an excellent buy. Less than a $100 and has lasted 5 years so far.

Exactly As Expected

 

Exactly As Expected

Poor Reliability

 

Poor Reliability

Product Specifications

The Philips DVD701AT DVD player features discrete dual-laser optical pickups and CD-R/CD-RW compatibility, making it a great basic audio-video system. The multifunction remote allows you to control all the basic features of video playback, such as stop/play/pause, slow mode, skip, or repeat. The digital-to-analog (D/A) converter converts the digital video information in 10-bit format, versus 8- or 9-bit. The DVD701AT also incorporates a 24-bit audio D/A converter, versus 16- or 20-bit. The TruSurround 3-D sound creates virtual surround effects with a two-speaker system. A unique parental approval system permits play of only preauthorized discs, unless a special user-defined PIN code is entered. The player will remember up to 80 disc preauthorizations, allowing unrestricted playback of these discs.
