Philips 625 question.

Hi!
I'm planning to buy this DVD-player soon, as it's become very cheap now days
around here (Sweden).
Anyway, I've read some different reviews on this machine, and it seems to me
like opinions are divided.

Some people say that this player basically can play anything, even
non-standard resolutions, frame rate, etc. , which is, of course good. On
the other hand, some people say that this player is terribly NOISY when
spinning a CD/DVD disc. So I'm wondering HOW noisy? Noisy enough to make you
get crazy and throw it out through the window or ;-) .
I've also heard that it has some issues playing usual AudioCD. It does
random pops while playing tracks.
Finally, does this player support DVD-R and DVD-RW. In the Philips-catalog,
only DVD+R and DVD+RW media is mentioned.

Thanks in advance!
