Philips 1080P All Region DVD Player

This is a very compact but useful home DVD player. I wish the remote was slightly larger so that the buttons were easier to use, but the whole system is user friendly. A good quality and handy addition to my home system.

Well, after a few hours of play, this unit still works. I’ve been looking at buying this unit for some time but hesitated because many reviewers complained that this unit failed shortly after purchase and some failed on the first day of play. But for me, it’s so far so good. It looks great– slim, sleek and compact. It looks like it’s worth more than the $40 I paid for it.

I was delighted to see that it could play the many DVD’s I bought overseas that I couldn’t play on my Sony because of region code and PAL/NTSC conversion problems. This thing plays them all! I was somewhat concerned that I had to do some programming to make it region-free, but it was region-free right out of the box– no programming required!

I also threw a few DIVX, MPG, AVI, and WMV files at it. It found and played the DIVX and MPG (MPEG-1 and 2) files fine but refused to play some AVI files and all of my WMV files. Also, it could not read some of my burned DVD’s, perhaps because of the Mac/PC hybrid file structure I chose to use. On the other hand, it seemed more tolerant of scratched or dirty DVD’s as it played my damaged DVD’s smoothly while my Sony refused to play them at all.

All in all, I’m quite happy with this little unit. Though it could not play WMV and some AVI files, it could play almost everything else. Response time in locating and playing video files was good– as good as if not better then my computer’s. The picture quality was excellent– just as good as my trusty old Sony. It provided sharp, progressive scan picture through its three component video outputs.

As far as its reliability– and this is my greatest concern with this unit– I can’t comment on that as I’ve had this for only one day. But in the day that I’ve used it, it worked very well. I’ll come back and report on its reliability in about 6 months from now. Until then, I’ll keep my fingers crossed.

Compre dos veces un reproductor marca generico o no conocida para ahorrar, pero se ven muy mal, y otro no traia cable hmdi, la tercera busque una marca conocida y la unica que encontre fue marca Philips, mas caro pero se ve muy bien, solo compre el cable hdmi que no traia..

Pleaseeee look elsewhere for a dvd player. PLZ READ! Nevermind the “good” brand name”. This is absolute garbage quality. Spend up for a combo player if possible. This thing is beyond terrible. First off, I purchased as new and received an used product, so good luck with that. This has happened to me multiple times now, and it’s extremely frustrating and gross. The seal didn’t look right, so I knew off the bat that there was a good chance I got another used item for my hard earned money. The player had greasy finger and palm prints all over it. It was beat up and scratched. Pathetic to do this to paying customers.
Putting all of that aside, it is VERY loud and it skips OFTEN with a long lag time, even when I put a brand new dvd into it. I complained via chat and ended up getting a refund while being able to keep the item. I cleaned the heck out of it, then learned all of the above issues with its playability. I don’t even want this garbage as free. I’ll have to purchase a different one now. I have no clue how others would rate this above one star, even while receiving an actual new one. Don’t waste your hard earned money on this pathetic outsourced product. It left me very angry and having to go through the purchase and wait process again..
