3 months after purchasing this Phillips DVD player it started acting funny. It would be temperamental about which discs it would play despite all of them being authentic USA DVD's purchased from Borders or wherever. More than half the time you put a disc in the DVD player now, it just freezes with the screen saying "loading". It wont respond to anything so you just have to unplug it. This has even been the case with brand new DVDs so it isn't due to scratches. As of yesterday, the screen will go blank and then turn to a green flashing screen sometimes when in the middle of a movie or it will slow down to slow-motion and stop responding. This is the 2nd Philips DVD player I've owned, the first was the exact same model and crapped out in the exact same with within 6 months.I would strongly suggest looking at other DVD players. This one is cheap, lightweight, thin and stylish, but it simply doesn't work. I will not buy Philips brand electronics again.
