Thanks!
I brought the player to the philips authorized service center last dec 07. until now, they are still looking for the parts.... well, there's a problem with Philips in sourcing out the parts needed...
future buyers of Philips DVD player, be forewarned..... pray that your unit won't conked out else..... buy the china-made dvd player while waiting your unit to be repaired...
that's just what i did!
