This is an excellent little player. DVD is everything you would expectfrom a DVD, video is quiet and crisp and the rewind speed is like nothingon earth.
Youll do well to find a better combination unit at anythingnear the price of this machine.

Firstly this is not a Philips product. Its actually a badge engineered LG model which I might add is a good thing. LG make really good DVD players and their video recorders while a little crude have an excellent reputation for reliability.
The dvd plcture on this model is superb and also the dvd loader fitted is great. It works very well with interactive dvds. The video recorder is good but a bit clunky compared to something like a Panasonic or Sharp.
Anyway heres a couple of tips for anyone buying these.
One thing you may come across using scart rgb is a vague patten over the screen, basically a weak translucent image. You can cure this by cutting one of the scart plug pin connections at the tv end. Basically you want to disconnect the composite out connection from the tvs scart. This will give you a crystal clear rgb image.
Secondly if you want to run region 1 or other region discs rather than region 2 you can do it in the following way. Insert your foreign dvd. Wait to the region lockout appears. Press display on the remote. Youll get a little box come up like 1/2 or 1/3 etc. Use the right key to move it to 2/2 or 2/3 or even 3/3 and press enter or play and it will skip the region lockout! A simple hack to enable you run any dvd you want. This unit will convert all ntsc material to pal playback so you wont have any problems displaying films not in pal format.
Also just in case you havent noticed it. To picture search you have to hold in the skip chapter button. It will then go to 2x. Hold it in again and it wil got to 4x etc. You have to keep doing this and it will top out at 100x picture search. Its an awkward system.
Because of its easy multiregion hack and superb dvd picture I think this is one of the best dvd/vcr combis out there.
