Less than expected
The remote is horrible as you have to point it directly at the DVD player and press the buttons multiple times to get it to work. The remote also lacks a open/close button which I thought was fairly standard.The DVD player itself is less than adequate. I can think of at least 3-4 times since I bought it that it has frozen and not played a DVD. I am not talking burned or damaged DVD's...I put them in my other DVD player and my X-box and they work just fine. What is equally annoying is the fact that it freezes the controls on the dvd player so I have to reach around my entertainment center to unplug it each time it decides to be tempormental. I will never buy a Philips again.
