The product worked well for an hour before it began freezing up on the DVD I was trying to watch. Thinking something was possibly wrong with the DVD, I placed the disc in another player and it ran perfectly. I took the DVD back to the Phillips DVP5982 to see if it would run properly, and it kept freezing around the same points again. My computer DVD-ROM drive is better than this and it is over four years old. Save your hard earned money. Buy something else.
