Excellent picture quality and features. Easy to multi-region.


Bad Points

DVD +R jumps.


General Comments

FYI: I've just bought a Philips 634 from Safeway for £69.99 (special offer at the moment) Is there a better DVD deal? I find the picture quality excellent. I've only had it a day so I'm still investigating compatibility. It doesn't like DVD +R so far. Can anyone give more info about jpegs etc? (The jpeg hack is fine).

    Can anyone give me the hack for playing jpeg cds on my Philips DVD 634? Thanx

    Hi burton, The jpeg hack is as follows:
    1) open the disk tray
    2) on the remote control press 0 0 0 0 then press 'angle' - this will enable jpeg
    3) 0 0 0 0 'subtitle' will disable jpeg
    So far I've only managed to read jpegs from the CD root. Does anybody know any different?

    If you want to be able to view JPEGs from a specific folder, go into PREFERENCES / SMART NAV and select WITH MENU rather than NO MENU. See manual page 17, although this only mentions using this setting for MP3 playback. When you load a JPEG CD it will then display a list of folders for you to select using the arrow and OK keys. It truncates the folder names if they're too long, but it still reads them OK.

    I've only had mine a day or two, and have been working out how to display JPEGs by trial and error. In case you don't know, you can rotate them, and change the interval between displays (1 to 20 sec) using the arrow keys. Does anyone know if there are any other JPEG functions I haven't found yet?
