Pros: good quality for the first year Cons: stops playing certain dvd's after one year

Pros: Higher-quality at-home video viewing, ease of use and set up Cons: Not able to record things like you can with a VCR
I bought this DVD player for my hubby for Christmas. He had been begging for one... and I decided to give in and get it. I am so glad I did! The difference in the sharpness and imagery is amazing! (compared to VCR & VHS). The sound is awesome,...

Pros: easy to use, affordable Cons: doesn't record, now there are multi disc carriages
When I started researching DVD, I was skeptical that it would make enough difference to merit me spending that much money when I already had a perfectly good VCR. The more I read the more interested I became, but I still didn't want to part with the...

Pros: Awesome picture and sound Cons: a bit expensive still
I recently received a DVD player as a gift. So far, I found it easy to hook up and operate. The picture is so much clearer than VHS. This comes even though I hooked it up with the included RCA cables instead of a S-Video cable. The only S-Video cable I...

Pros: cheapest of the lot Cons: older model
While looking for a dvd player, I was amazed on how many kinds of brands there were. When I finally had done my searching, I had made my choice with this great buy from Philips. The DVD 825AT showed to be the best one of its kind. With its sleek look,...

Pros: CD-R + DVD-R support, affordable Cons: No 5.1 analogue out
In my review of a huge amount of DVD players, the Phillips 825AT had something very unique to it. It was one of the most afforadable players, (not the cheapest), however it offered CDR and DVD-R support. This is a feature only found on higher end...

Pros: Simple to use, excellent picture and sound Cons: remote buttons are tiny and delayed
I bought the Philips 825AT last December after comparing its features and price with other low-cost dvd players like the Toshiba 2100. I have experienced no problems with the player itself - it was simple to setup and playing movies and cds is as easy...

Pros: Price, simplicity, quality Cons: not 5.1 compatible
If you're not looking to spend a lot of money on a lot of features that you'll never use, then take a look at the 825. This has to be one of the best deals out there for a solid DVD player at an affordable price.
So far, I have had no...

Pros: quality, hookups, picture Cons: a little pricy
When deciding on what dvd player to buy I bought the philips on above strictly on the name "Philips". Because I didn't know too much about them I thought going by name was a good place to start. Well needless to say this has been an...
