Philips DVD782CH 5-Disc DVD Player description
Watch movie trilogies end to end or spin CDs for hours at a time with Philips' affordable DVD782CH five-disc DVD/CD changer. Enjoy features like repeat-play modes (including A-B repeat for looping a cherished video or music segment), sequential CD track programming, CD random play, and resume play, which picks up where you left off when last watching a DVD or listening to a CD.

Depending on your TV's inputs, you can choose from standard composite-video (yellow RCA) output, S-video, or high-resolution component-video outputs, which help minimize digital and line-scan artifacts.

A single 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 coaxial and optical digital-audio outputs for direct connection to a full-featured audio/video receiver. If you don't have a surround receiver or six-channel speaker setup, you can still make every movie night the ultimate experience: TruSurround simulates surround sound through two speakers (even the stereo speakers on a TV).

What's in the Box
DVD player, remote control, remote batteries, user's manual, and a stereo analog audio interconnect/composite-video cable.

♥♥♥♥ Better late than never ...
We needed to know if this unit (Philips DVD 782C) was compatible with DVD+RW disks so I Googled it and found this Amazon listing.

We were totally amazed to find the reviews we found ... and wish we had done this years ago INSTEAD OF SPENDING ALL THIS TIME STRUGGLING WITH THIS POOR EXCUSE OF A DVD PLAYER. We have spent countless hours MR. Clean'ing and SkipDr'ing disks just to get them to play (and sometimes even that didn't work).

Just in case anyone else comes along, take the excellent advice given several times in this collection of reviews ... RUN THE OTHER DIRECTION WITHOUT QUESTION IF SOMEONE OFFERS YOU THIS DVD PLAYER.

Now, we do NOT believe this is a fundamental problem with Philips. We have, and have had, many fine products sold by Philips. We are guessing this particular DVD player was the result of some very poor product planning that went very badly before, during and after the fact. Hopefully the person(s) responsible has (have), per usual corporate practice, been promoted farther up the ladder where they can no longer inflict this kind of pain on Customers.


P.S. We tried to give this product "0" stars but Amazon requires at least "1" star. Probably a quid pro quo agreement of some sort we imagine.
