Review on πŸ“€ Philips DVD711AT DVD Player: Enhance Home Entertainment with Advanced Features by Ronnie Staver

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great player for beginners

I just bought this player yesterday and apart from needing a modulator for the back of my TV I had no trouble getting it set up and working. Based on most reviews, the DVD711AT along with the DVD701AT are the top two models for people buying their first DVD player. I found the sound and picture quality to be crisp and clear on the few movies I watched, and the movies took as long to load as any other DVD player I've seen. It also played my CDs and CDRs with no problems and the sound was exactly what I would expect from a DVD player. Although to be honest I don't quite understand why anyone would want to play audio CDs on a DVD player in the first place. It seems to me that this just adds more wear and tear to the machine, and let's face it, a DVD player is designed to play DVDs and a CD player is designed to play CDs. An audio disc is not the same as an audio/video disc. My only gripe, and it can't be fixed with a small purchase, is the remote control. Just too easy. I also think it's a great machine for people who are buying their first DVD player and don't want to mess around with different features and accessories.
