Product Description Be impressed with this Philips DVD player with HDMI digital video and audio connection. Step into another home entertainment arena as you immerse yourself with High Definition video (720p / 1080i/1080p). HDMI for simple AV connection: HDMI stands for High Definition Multimedia Interface. It is a direct digital connection that can carry digital HD video as well as digital multichannel audio. By eliminating the conversion to analog signals it delivers perfect picture and sound quality, completely free from noise. HDMI is fully backward-compatible with (Digital Video Interface) DVI.DivX Ultra Certified: DivX Ultra combines DivX playback with great features like integrated subtitles, multiple audio languages, multiple tracks and menus into one convenient file format.High definition JPEG playback: High definition JPEG playback lets you view your pictures on your television in resolutions as high as two megapixels. Now you can view your digital pictures in absolute clarity, without loss of quality or detail - and share them with friends and family in the comfort of your living room.Progressive Scan: Progressive Scan doubles the vertical resolution of the image resulting in a noticeably sharper picture. Instead of sending a field comprising the odd lines to the screen first, followed by the field with the even lines, both fields are written at one time. A full image is created instantaneously, using the maximum resolution. At such a speed, your eye perceives a sharper picture with no line structure.Hi-Speed USB 2.0 Link: The Universal Serial Bus or USB is a protocol standard that is conveniently used to link PCs, peripherals and consumer electronic equuipment. Hi-Speed USB devices have a data transfer rate of up to 480 Mbps - up from the 12 Mbps in original USB ones. With Hi-Speed USB 2.0 Link, all you have to do is plug in your USB device, select the movie, music or photo and play away.
not as awesome as XBMC, chokes on H.264 AVC highNovember 15, 2008 Reads acceptable well from high quality USB flash drives like Corsair and Lexar.
NOT a suitable replacement for an xbox with Xbox Media Center.
NOT a front end for NAS.
*** Will NOT play x264 / H.264 videos. ***
Upscaling is nice if one has high quality HDMI cables.
There are many bugs with the most current firmware related to playback of other than DVD video. Don't expect another firmware release. One will likely be invited to purchase the next hardware iteration.
Easy Region Free is a plus.
It is slow to complete power up. Slow to recognize no DVD in tray, then slow to decide to poll USB. Once high quality USB flash device detected no transfer rate hiccups. It is slow to eject the DVD drive. Stopping stand alone media files is VERY slow sometimes requiring mashing stop half a dozen times.
Of the other brands of set top stand alone media file players sporting USB ports we've tested this one was the least annoying.
If one requires MUCH better responsiveness and the ability to play 99% of available formats XBMC on Xbox360 is still the best choice.
Breaks gradually over the weeks...November 11, 2008 This is the worst DVD player I've ever encountered: I even gave it 2 chances. When the first one started breaking down after a few weeks, I went and exchanged it, hoping I just got a messed up one.
After a few weeks, the same thing started to happpen: First, it goes to the wrong chapter sometimes. Then it goes on to freezing when loading disc. Then, it moved onto freezing on boot-up so everytime I wanted to turn it on, I had to unplug the power cord.
Anyone who gave this a 5 star review probably wrote the review within the first few weeks, where it was working great. But I'm not the only one, and I've been through 2 of these things already, I can tell you it will, GUARANTEED, it will BREAK within a few months. They should really put out a product recall on this thing.
No support for 5.1 audio on USBOctober 31, 2008 Every this is good as promised on the DVD player except for proper USB support. I would like to keep 5.1 audio on DivX movies. When I play the DivX file from USB, it plays it in Stereo mode. When I copy the same file on a DVD+RW, it plays with 5.1 audio.
I talked to Philips tech support about this and they have no clue.
Searched on net and didn't get clue either :-(
Except for this glitch, it is a great player.
Dead on ArrivalOctober 14, 2008 2 out of 4 found this review helpful
I just received this DVD player and its DOA out of the box. It turns on, it produces a video signal ( you can see the Philips screen and "loading" icon), but the DVD never loads. I called tech support and they said it was a lens alignment issue. I will return it for another one based on the majority of good reviews on this page. I am concerned that there is another DOA review on this product.
This is a very basic unit. It has few outputs - 3 component video, TV, audio L / R, Digital Coax out and HDMI. It does NOT have S-Video nor does it have optical out. The s-video is a real flaw as I bought this for my old analog TV to replace a Panasonic unit that failed and s-video gives a superior picture.
I'll come back to rate my replacement unit, if it works.
Was dead after one week...September 27, 2008 2 out of 4 found this review helpful
That player is very nice, but it stopped to work after one week. First it lost one of the color in output signal and later it was dead completely. My friend have similar problem with the same model. His player lost one of the color on component output but still works great on HDMI output. But for how long? Philips customer support center made a replacement for me on warranty but they send me DVP5982 instead of DVP5992 because my model was out of stock...
