Customer Reviews:

2 out of 5 stars The remote stinks.......2004-03-22

The remote for this DVD player just stinks. The order of the important buttons is:

[rewind] [fast-forward] [play]

[pause] [unimportant] [stop]

In the dark its impossible to remember which is which, and you'll end up stopping, rewinding, or something else disruptive. The remote spoils the whole product, imo.

5 out of 5 stars Great entry-level DVD player.......2001-05-04

I purchased the Philips DVD825AT several months ago and I am very pleased with my choice. I looked at a dozen low-cost DVD players before selecting this one. What I liked about it was it comes with an S-Video output so you don't have to worry about using those cheap old RCA plugs. I also liked the digital audio coaxial cable output, which allows me to use my stereo system. I currently have Titantic playing and it sounds better than it did in the movie theater. I also like the slow motion option. It's also super easy to use. Only a limited number of buttons to play with. I am thinking about buying another unit for my 71-year-old mother.

So if you're looking to set up a home theater on a limited budget that will impress your friends, this is a good start.

1 out of 5 stars Don't Do It!.......2000-07-11

This DVD player won't read over half the discs you feed it....very frustrating.

5 out of 5 stars No complaints!.......2000-07-09

For the money, its great. I haven't had any problems yet. I've put in other DVD's that people said they had trouble playing, and this player did not miss a beat. Well worth it.

5 out of 5 stars Philips DVD825AT.......2000-06-21

Once I was an 'audiophile', you know, the Garrard record player, or the Empire which would play upside down. Now? Not so. What I appreciate is quality, and the Philips DVD825 has it. Plain, basic and simple. Hooking it up was easy, no reading directions that were mind boggling. It does what it is supposed to, play a DVD, and give options. It's like this amplifier is .02% distortion, this amplifier is .000002 distortion. Can you hear it? Hardly.... It's all for bragging rights.. If you want a good DVD player, one that works out-of-the-box, the Philips is for you. It's design is sleek and eye appealing. The only 'quirk' I have with it is the remote which is meant for people with tiny fingers, and the lack of a good S cable. But, for the price, an excellent buy.
