Philips DVP3960 Review and Prices

 

A budget priced DVD player, the Philips DVP3960 has enough features to function as the primary player in your entertainment system, yet inexpensive enough to use as a second DVD player in a bedroom, kids' room or kitchen. As well as progressive scan,...

Inexpensive, HDMI upscaling to 1080i, DivX compatible, Slim, compact design

Lack DTS audio support, an S-Video out connection, and an optical digital audio output, unimpressive remote control

Stopped working right after one year

This DVD is awful. It stopped working right after one year. It shows message 'No disc' even though there is a disc. I tried several discs and it shows the same message. It is disposable

Reads DVD OK, slow interface/reaction
