I have a few Stand Alone DVD players and one of those is an expensive Philips DVD player! (It was expensive when I purchased it). It is a DV-535 and is an earlier model than yours but it is one of the most fussiest players I have! It hardly plays anything except the original DVD's. I also have a rather cheap (non expensive) Sensonic player which will play anything!! I used to buy the so called top of the range players but now I will just buy the cheaper ones and if it breaks down I will buy another cheap one! They seem to be able to play everything, even avi's!
