    Good Points: Picture and Sound


    Bad Points: Will not play scratched discs


    General comments: Does anyone know any hacks for the Philips DVD634 DVD Player that will enable it to play hired discs that are often scratched? Out of 8 hired only 2 have played, I tried 3 copies of Tuxedo ! Could it be that if i do the multiregion hack this could clear the problem?

    The Philips DVD634 DVD Player seemed to play about every format, so purchased in late Oct 2003 (also bought Sony DVD for another room on same day). In December, the Phillips completely failed, not reading any kind of disc. Took to repairers who had to send it back to Phillips for repair. Got dvd back just before xmas and guess what, it lasted until March before it failed again. Repairers say it the Laser again, so the machine is currently back with Phillips for its second repair. Meanwhile, ...

    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).

    Just bought stated DVD player from the Orange Mobile store for £60 and got a free phone into the bargain. For the price I'm well chuffed and it works a whole lot better than my three year old Sony DVD player. Orange have them on sale until Xmas

    I bought this DVD player as an alternative from watching movies on my PS2. I didn't think that a player this cheap (£110) would be much better but I was pleasantly surprised.
    I don't know much about top-end expensive players so I'm gonna compare this one with the PS2's DVD capability. If you have a PS2 and are thinking that you may want a seperate DVD player then maybe this review will be useful to you.
    The most striking thing is the sound difference - its much punchier, better bass and ...

    I was just wondering...when I did the 5 0s thing in the left hand corner of mine it said new region (0), should it say this? or have I done it wrong? What should it say?? Many thanks to any one who helps...also what home cinema speakers, subwoofer etc can I attach to this if any?? cheers

    The system plays really well and the 3D surround sound is pretty cool if you only have the TV speakers. A little on the featureless side when it comes to looks. I'm happy with it as is is easy to hack for other regions, however, like the loneranger before me I too am looking for someone to let me know if there is an RCE workaround.

    The player is nice looking and easy to get to know. Picture quality is very good for the price and playback of every format is good. If Philips solves the problems with compatibility with some DVD's the rating should be very high. But in the mean time...

    The Philips DVD 634 plays everything but does anyone know the region hack? It's set to region 2 and I am sure it's just a case of a few commands on the remote.
