The DVP3980/37 DVD player with 1080p HDMI up-conversion is your dream player with flawless, true-to-life picture quality and the ability to play virtually any disc! Its 12-bit video DAC is a superior digital-to-analogue-converter that preserves every detail of the authentic picture quality. The 192khz sampling enables you to have an accurate representation of the original sound curves. Combined with a 24-bit resolution, more information is captured from the original analogue sound wave form, giving a much richer audio reproduction.

One fatal flaw.

"Although the unit produces a good picture and generally works well, it has one fatal flaw. Every so often (maybe once a week wiith light use) it will not read any disc. This can be rectified by unplugging the unit from the electrical power and then plugging it back in. Shutting off the unit will not do, as this puts it in "standby". This is a real pain if your power cord is plugged in behind a cabinet, as is ..." Read Full Review »

A rare dud for Philips/Magnavox

★☆☆☆☆

"My family have been faithful Philips/Magnavox customers for many years & very rarely has there been a dud. Unfortunately, this DVD player was one of those duds.
