Thank you to all the people posting that this does unit does NOT have a tuner, since Amazon doesn't seem to have that fact anywhere in their product description. I figured that it didn't, based on the price, but having that spelled out clearly in the listings would be pretty useful and save on Amazon having to deal with a bunch of returns from people who needed to have one with a tuner. Philips may be a decent brand, but we don't have a cable or satellite box and hook up our stuff directly to the RF cable from the cable company, so this unit would do us no good whatsoever. If your cable hook up setup is similar, SKIP this unit.

This is an excellent value. The description neglects to state this model is not cable ready. There are two solutions.

1. Use a cable converter box.
2. Purchase a (female) coax to (male) RCA converter for a few dollars.

Plays all formats flawlessly. Easy to read remote. Troublefree setup. Philips is a Dutch company which produces quality stuff. Beats the price and quality of any Japanese, Taiwanese, Chinese products.
