    The picture on the Philips DVD736K is alright and playing DVD's, SVCD's and copied VCD works fine but dvd only works for 18 months. The other CD's still works fine what a product.

    The day I bought this player, the karaoke feature died after an hour or less and takes almost a month to have it fix in the recommended service centre.

    It's good for home theatre but not that good with the karaoke mode.

    Watch out - If you read reviews on the Internet by reviewers in Australia, NZ, US, Europe; Philips India has a way of sticking it to you - the model that is sold in India will have at least one flaw - this has happened to me before too. I assume they find a model that cannot be sold elsewhere in the world and buy it by its weight and sell them here at high prices. This is especially annoying as Philips (not India) drafted the Red / Blue Book or whatever on CD formats. Thus the poor review by Dip ...

    The Philips DVD736K is Good but not so Great with CD Audio listening due to 1-2 seconds silence in between tracks. But it's well worth it when it comes to Home Theater usage.

    For those drooling for a Home Theater System but who are on a tight budget, get this one then (later) purchase a best buy Multimedia Speaker system (Altec Lansing e5100 or Creative 5300) for an economical Home Theater System.

    It's just to bad that I bought it at PHP13500 last June only to found out it now cost only P ...

    I used to play DVD on my Sony PS2 but, always having problems playing DVDs from other regions, I decided to buy a player. After doing 3 weeks survey, I found this Philips DVD736K DVD player really good value for money. I bought at RM 470 (which is around USD 120).
    Everything is fine except the 2 channel downmix and the shadow part of the picture.
    The 2 channel simulation or virtual surround mode output is small, you need to turn the volume over 50% to achieve a reasonable hearing level. But th ...

    I have tried several DVD units from various manufacturers in the sub $600 NZ category. I ended up returning all and concluding that I couldnt get a 'good quality cheapy', but then I tried the Philips DVD736K.
    In common with some of the other reviewers, when I bought this unit, I could find absolutely nothing on the 'net about it. However, empirical evidence is what I rely on and the shop was happy for me to take it away for a good testing with a full refund guarantee.
    I am pleased to say that ...

    I recently bought few VCDs for my Philips DVD736K DVD player and the first one failed to start when I pressed the PLAY button. After juggling with few more buttons (FF, REW, PLAY,STOP) it suddenly started playing. Also I could in no way FF or REW in between or see the disk menu. The VCD seller says it a problem with the player and not the VCDs as he had similar problem in his Philips player and the VCDs work fine in other products/models. I need feedback on this issue. Somebody has to take back ...

    After Returning an LG DVD/Video combo due to poor performance I purchased the Philips DVD736K DVD player. It is magnificent, plays all my VCD's and SVCD's to perfection.

    The Philips DVD736K is a very good DVD player - I tried VCD and SVCD and it works. If you want more info, try the Philips New Zealand site.

    This Philips DVD736K is my second DVD player. I needed one with a built in DD decoder as my amp is only Dolby Prologic. The Philips DVD736K is a new player on the market. There is no info about it on any of the Philips web sites that I can find.

    Although made in China, the build quality of the main unit is very good. The disk tray appears a bit flimsy, but no more so than most new players.

    The front panel layout is simple, with a Perspex panel across the bottom, with simple controls on ei ...
