I bought this to replace a Sony DVD player that died after 2 years. I haven't used the progressive scan features, but I'm using it with s-video and the optical sound out, and am very happy with the sound an picture. It also seems to handle dirty or scratched disks much better than the Sony, which used to just backwards or forwards some huge amount when it ran into trouble. The Philips seems to handle it pretty gracefully. One thing I really like about the Philips is that for the time display, it shows the total time you are through the movie (is the correct DVD term "title"?). My Sony would just show me how far I was into a chapter. I like that it can display CDs of photos and play MP3 CDs. The front panel is pretty bare bones, but has the basics you need. My nits with it are pretty minor: If you turn it off with the remote, you can't just wake it up by pressing open on the front panel -you have to turn it off and one. There's no eject button on the remote (although you can debate if that's actually useful). And, it freezes up on a CD of pictures I burned from my Mac. I'm not sure how general that problem is. But, overall, I'm very happy with it.

This DVD looks nice, plays well, and sells for an unbeatable price. The thing that I like most about it is that it can play more DVDs (e.g. other region codes) than my Sony. My sony is very unforgiving in that respect. The only negative is that it takes the machine a bit long to load the DVD. But all in all, it's a great product.

Its worth paying. Its nice, plays MP3s, JPEG and all DVDs that I have tried. I have tried PAL VCDs as well.

The negative side MP3 menu is too thin.

It does not play or hangs with some DVDs, the other player I have also does the same. Whereas my laptop DVD player plays that.

Want Philips DVDQ35AT Progressive-Scan DVD Player Discount?

I purchased the Philips DVDQ35 from Amazon about a 2 months ago. It played photo CDs and regular CDs fine. The problems came when playing DVDs. On EVERY DVD I play, it starts skipping and freezing after about 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours into the movie. This even includes brand new DVDs fresh from the box. I called Philips and the said it sounded like a hardware problem to them. They shipped me a brand new unit new serial and manufacture date. Guess what ... the new unit does the same thing exactly. I searched the internet for "Philips DVD player skipping" and have since found out that there are a lot of people that have been junking their Philips DVD players for exactly the same reason skipping and freezing during DVD playback. It seems Philips will gladly keep sending you new units with the same problem (YOU have to pay for the shipping back to them), but won't refund money or give you a comparable model that works. I guess instead of repeatedly sending back the players, I'll have to eat the loss and junk this one. No more Philips for me.

For the price, this dvd, video, and audio player is great.

The DVD player looks better than it does on this site.

Playing audio cd's works fine.

I am not dissappointed with this DVD player at all!
