Product Description
Philips DVP5140 Progressive Scan DVD Player, can play CD-R/W, DivX, DVD, DVD+R/W, DVD-R/W DVD-Video, MP3, MPEG4, Picture CDs, VCD, and SVCD. That's right, all of this in one small package for an incredibly reasonable price. All while delivering quality picture and audio performance. Component video output lets you connect this DVD player to your high-end home television set to optimize viewing quality.

From the Manufacturer
192KHz sampling enables you to have an accurate representation of the original sound curves. Together with a 24-bit resolution, more information is captured from the original analogue sound wave form, giving a much richer audio reproduction.

Multi-format playability allows you to play most disc formats for maximum disc compatibility and listening pleasure.

12-bit Video DAC is a superior Digital-to-Analogue-Converter that preserves every detail of the authentic picture quality. It shows subtle shades and smoother graduation of colors, resulting in a more vibrant and natural picture. The limitation of the usual 10bit DAC become in particular apparent while using large screens and projectors.

The attractive enclosure has a very low profile.

DivX Ultra combines DivX playback with great features like integrated subtitles, multiple audio languages, multiple tracks and menus into one convenient file format.

Multi-format playability allows you to play most disc formats for maximum disc compatibility and viewing pleasure.

Picture CD is a CD-R or CD-RW disc on which you can store your MP3 and digital pictures. When inserting a Picture CD in the DVD player, a screen menu will pop up, showing your JPEG's and/or MP3 files on the disc. Just select the music and pictures files you wish to enjoy and press play or OK. You can watch your pictures on TV with your music playing simultaneously.

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.

Other standard features include:
  • 192kHz/24-bit audio DAC delivers high-quality audio.
  • 12-bit/ 108Mhz video DAC for sharp image with natural colors.
  • Ultra-slim design.

4 out of 5 stars Very efficient, save for the documentation   July 4, 2008
The documentation is a bit less than optimal, but if you read these reviews and follow the suggestions therein, you'll do just fine.

We have an ancient TV -- bought in 1984 -- and this machine works just fine with it. We're watching PAL/Region 2 DVDs as I write this. The picture and sound are great. If your old TV only has one audio input, you'll have to get a new cable. We borrowed the one that worked with our current region 1 DVD and it worked just fine.

Using the Preferred Shipping service, we had this player in hand the next day and in time for a long vacation weekend.



3 out of 5 stars Doesn't support GMC coded .avi   June 19, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

Just bought this and first .avi cd I played received a message: doesn't support GMC files. Looked that up and is .avi that is coded with General Motion Compensation.

If there is a way around this, I'd like to know because I'm very disappointed.

This DVD player serves its purpose but wouldn't recommend it if you are looking for something with quick response.


4 out of 5 stars Excellent Value for Money   May 25, 2008
 2 out of 2 found this review helpful

I purchase the regular Philips DVP5140 DVD player from Amazon and successfuly configured it to a region-free DVD player. It played all my DVD from USA, UK, New Zealand, and Asia without any problem. I think it is an excellent choice.

However, I am a bit surprised to find that the remote is very primitive, e.g., it does not have an Open/Close button, the standard Fast Forward, Fast reverse buttons are missing too (right and left arrow buttons does the job). I am unable to assign five stars to this product because of the deficiencies in the remote design. Otherwise it is an excellent value for your money. Otherwise it's an excellent product for the price.



2 out of 5 stars Poor design and build quality   May 23, 2008
 3 out of 4 found this review helpful

the only reason to consider this player is the fact that you can program it to play mutiregion DVDs with a minimum of fuss. apart from that, it's a shoddy product. the build is flaky - the buttons are absurdly small and cheap-feeling. and the remote - don't get me started; it is so poorly designed that you practically have to be standing right in front of the unit at close range to use it (the remote's infrared transmitter is so recessed on the underside of the remote that there is an extremely limited set of angles at which it can work). this effectively defeats the point of having a remote. did anyone properly test this thing? the absence of track advance buttons on the unit itself isn't great either. overall, this is simply a shoddy product, even more flakily-designed and made than its decent predecessor, the DVP 642. i'd recommend buying it ONLY as your multiregion DVD player for occasional use. if you want a well-designed, user-friendly workhorse for everyday use, look elsewhere.
