2 out of 5 stars Disappointed   June 27, 2010
Gabrielle Barnhart (Wheaton, MD United States)
I loved the sleek look and the simplicity of this unit. I was terribly disappointed when the DVD player stopped working. I'm in search of a better system.


1 out of 5 stars Total Junk   February 22, 2010
Patrick
After only 6 months the DVD player stopped working and would only read "No Disk" on the display. I contacted Phillips and they basically told me to bad, so sad. So, I continued to utilize it as a surround sound receiver and that worked fine until yesterday when that also stopped functioning. After reading multiple other similar complaints i am certain that this product should have been recalled. Sorry to say but after this I will never buy a Phillips/ Magnavox product.


5 out of 5 stars Best surround system I've owned   February 15, 2010
Daniel Sosa Rey
I've own a Sony Bravia HDX287 5.1 and a Pillips hts6500 2.1 and I must say the later is by far my favorite. I was planning to replace the unit after some 3 years of use (bought it in a Best Buy close to home) and I am hesitating to do it after hearing both hand to hand.

I have the Phillips running in a game room where our friends come to play billiard pool and I always receive compliments on the crisp sound and the up-converted HD movies that pair my HD cable. I still can't believe I paid some 160 bucks for the Phillips and almost 500 for the Sony; I should've continued using it for one more year and get me a wireless 7.1.

One last thing: bass/boofer is superb and it really saves space by not having to deal with cables.



1 out of 5 stars Piece of junk   February 12, 2010
J. Shipp
We purchased this from Walmart in 2008 and it has barely worked since then. The digital sound kept going in and out like something said previous, it doesn't play most legally purchased DVDs, and the remote just stops working to where it will only turn the system on and off. I contact Philips and they said have it repaired at local shop. Our decision is to throw this piece of junk away and never buy anything with Philips name on it again!!!


1 out of 5 stars Does not see Disc or Eject.   January 25, 2010
J. Shih (California)
I had this unit for less than 2 months when it started acting up. Unit will not recgonize disc or eject. I thought about sending it back but then I was able to upgrad the firmware and it seemed to fix the issue somewhat. After the warranty expired and played less than 20 movies it completely died. Will not accept disc, the loading mechanism appears to be completely dead as it would close during loading and disc would be stuck half way. This is the worst dvd player I've ever owned. The sound and other functions on this unit was actually very good except for this issue which renders the unit useless. Will not be buying Philips ever again. The internet is littered with people having the same issue with this model.
