Review: Philips Philips DVD-963SA CD Player
Rgd, ya maybe I should tone down my enthusism as my gear is likely a lot more revealing than most who would buy a 963sa and there was an instant change for the better which of course gets even better whith 24-300 hours.I noticed an obvious wider a... 
Review: Philips Philips DVD-963SA CD Player
