Ho my, You guys,
As I was planing over the week,
I have bought the Philips DVP642 DVD/DivX Player,
(Just a few hours ago)
I just got home, and the first thing I did,
I burned an IMAX Documentary (on a CD-Rw)
then I put it on the Player and: O my, the picture is Precius!.
Ok, then I combined The IMAX Documentary and a Friends
episode, and it worked very well too.
And a few minutes ago, i was watching a movie,
Im so happy with my purchase!.
Im still testing it, but so far It seems very good!.

Tough, Just a little thing,
Obviusly, I connected it to my
Home Theater but so far, I haven´t get
the Back Speakers to work,
I´ll have to see... Got any idea what it might be?

for the back sppeakers you gotta:

1) hook up the divx player so that it is in 5.1 surround (the optical or sp\dif connector)(not just the read and white plugs)

and

2) burn a video file that is encoded in 5.1 surround.

edit:
or you could just hook up the back speakers to the same conectors as the front ones to have them play the same thing.

odd, I just picked up two from walmart, been trying for a few weeks but they have been sold out
I'm waiting for a torrent to finish, its ATHF episodes 1 to 44 complete :eek:
haven't even hooked it up yet, but herd nothing but good stuff from this player
its progressive scan, so if you have the inputs, you want to hook up the rgb (component) to use the progressive future, at east thats how all the other dvd players with that option required

Hoo, yea, I saw the Optical outpu but
I just don´t know for what it was.
Thanks ROSSCO!

ou are right MUSH,
I had to go to 3 different stores to find it,
If not, I had to pay $10 dlls. more for it on BestBuy,
but the third store had like ten of them,
so I gues I was Lucky!

yep looks like u were very lucky.

kinda makes me file like my dvd player was a big rip off...200bucks, plays only dvd and mp3 and stuff no divx

no progressive scan although it did have rgb\component hookups which i used.

oh well guess the expensive ones aren't always teh best eh?

I have comp, dvd player, and ps2.

only ever use the dvd player though, for ps2 i gotta use an rf modulater so im too lazy to use that, and it sucks watching stuff on comp.

besides i don't have many dvds anyways. just download the stuff.
