Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
Philips' single-disc DVD712AT provides an affordable way to enjoy your DVD movies and CD music--both commercial CDs and homemade MP3 CDs--in quality and comfort. The player spins DVD-Video (both NTSC- and, for compatible TVs, PAL-formatted discs), DVD+RW, VCD, and recordable CD-R and CD-RW. Playback options include 5-disc resume, which lets you pick up where you left off on your five most recently viewed DVDs, enhanced parental control with disc lock, an enhanced graphical user interface, and picture zoom so you can magnify images from scenes of your choosing.

Video outputs consist of 1 each component-video, S-video, and composite-video, which together accommodate nearly every set out there. The component-video outputs help minimize digital and line-scan artifacts on compatible advanced televisions. (If your older TV has no colored RCA video input jacks, merely a threaded RF coaxial-type audio/video input, you'll need a video modulator/switcher, sold separately.)

A set of left/right analog-audio outputs channel audio to Dolby Pro Logic receivers and stereo televisions. Both Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel surround-sound signals can be routed through the player's digital-audio outputs (1 each of RCA coaxial and Toslink optical) for direct connection to a full-featured audio/video receiver.

This player also offers a dedicated monaural subwoofer output to channel the low-frequency effects signals--the ".1" in a 5.1 or 6.1 surround program--to a stand-alone active subwoofer. This means you can enjoy dynamic, full-bodied sound from your movies and music DVDs even if you don't have a full surround system. You just need an integrated (stereo) amplifier, left/right speakers, and a powered subwoofer.

If you don't have a surround receiver or multichannel speaker setup, you can still make every movie night the ultimate experience: TruSurround 3D simulates surround sound through 2 speakers (even the stereo speakers on your TV).

1 out of 5 stars An expensive lemon.......2003-03-02

After almost a year of minimal use, the system would stop recognizing dvd movies in the middle. After checking with Philips about a replacement throught the warranty, I was going to have to pay almost $...for a refurbished one (not a new one) from the very company that produced this piece of junk.
I will never buy an item from Philips ever again.

1 out of 5 stars lemon.......2002-02-18

product wouldn't function .didn't recognize/play discs of any type.cd drawer gets stuck 1/2 way.owners manual somewhat too generalized.hookup instructions toooooooooo confusing for 1st time buyers of this type of player.very poor product.

4 out of 5 stars So far.... so Good.......2002-01-09

So far, this player has been great. Audio quality with CDs seems terrific. DVD picture quality is good (at least with the S-video connect). I noticed the player had a slight skip in one of the movies we played, but has otherwise worked fine.

The MP3 feature is nice, especially for a unit [of this price]. The title of the MP3s are listed on the TV and the sound is great. However, playback of the MP3s seems to be limited in that the machine seems unable to randomly play the tracks.

The remote control is rather unimpressive and small, but otherwise, we've been very pleased with the product. So far... so good.

5 out of 5 stars Great Value!.......2002-01-06

I have tested several DVD players in the same price point:
-Samsung M301
