I am having a problem with my DVD player (DVP642) and I don't know if the machine is defective or if this is just a common problem with
all the DVD players of this type. Whenever I insert into the machine a DVD with divx, avi, etc files on it the the player will very easily crash. Showing a green screen or all of the functions will freeze. This happens constantly. The only thing I can do is unplug the machine and wait until the machine resets itself. It is very hard to get the machine to locate the file and play it. Once it
does find and starts to play the file there is no problem. It does a
good job playing the movie. Has anyone else experienced anything
like this, is the player defective? any comment would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, rbarch

Sounds like it is defective. From what I read that is basically a common problem.

You can flash the 642. I just did mine w/no probs. http://www.usasupport.philips.com/productDocuments.html?ProductCo... It says for dvp642, but in the models supported by upgrades the 642/37 is covered. Be sure to read the read me file throughly.
