On this model, it's as easy as:
Open DVD tray, press 7,8,9,OK,0
That's it! The model I bought is the Philips 642. Like I said, only $60...
Oh yeah, one other this about this model. In addition to playing CDs, CDrs, DVD, DVD+Rs, mp3 discs, it also reads discs with .jpgs, .avi, and Divx files. That means if you have any programs in Divx or .avi, you don't have to convert them all to DVD format to watch it on the player. So I can load up an entire series season of a show on a single DVD+R. If transcoding to DVD format, it would easily be 5, if not 6 discs.
