 Awesome upconvert dvd player! August 1, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I purchased one of these dvd upconvert players and I am very impressed. Most upconvert dvd players are a bit pricey but this one is pretty ood for its features. I tested the upconvert to 1080p with Transformers (2007) and it looked really good, granted its not blu-ray quality. I have this dvd player connected to my Panasonic 46PZ85U 1080p Plasma TV.
Divx feature works nicely as well. This dvd player played most of the divx files I threw at it when I tested it. The picture quality still looked lovely. However, there were some cases were the divx movie's resolution would not be playable on this dvd player. I only tested AVI movie files since most of my movies are in that format.
The remote is pretty simple. I'm used to the remote since it pretty much is the same as most of the other Philips dvd player remotes. The response does lag at times but that isn't a major problem for me. I haven't gotten to tinker with the region=free settings on the player since I hardly watch any foreign movies.
Philips has been a good brand to me and it continues to be one with this dvd upconvert player. I would highly recommend this player to those who are looking for a really good upncoverting dvd player for an affordable price. You will not be disappointed!
Amazing DivX player August 1, 2008
I took a risk, when I decided to go for this player, but was not sure if it can read all the Xvid and DivX files with AC3 plugin, I was prepared to return it within a month if it did not come, but was amazed to see how it worked. I was able to play all my DivX movies and normal DVD's upscaled.
For sanity purpose I ran a check for the same DivX movie via S-VGA (Laptop) and HDMI (DVD Player) up scaled, and the results were quite different. The colours were brighter and the movie scaled better to fit 16:9. A must recommendation for any with lot of DivX movies.
Now only if I can find a hack to stream over the USB port (is it an overkill!) It would be amazing!
Great product @ Great Price & Great features July 29, 2008
Philips as always makes great and rock solid products which last long and great innovative features. The same applies to this product.
I have hooked it up to my new Samsung LN52A550 and viewing even normal DVDs on this looks stunning.
DivX looks like you are running DVD.
USB is great feature, you can use it to play DivX movies or regular CD, it doesnot play DVD dump. Also plays MP3 from USB.
Remote is bit lower standard as looks and feel cheap and bit tricky to work with from wide angles also some controls are not straight forward and you will have to read manual to know all remote features.
Over all a great buy.
 Doesn't work right from the box July 29, 2008
The only disk I was able to play was cleaning disk.
All others froze.
I checked firmware was the latest one.
I checked troubleshooting section and find
interesting facts:
1. Player likes only clean and ideal disks.
2. It plays Divx only if it encoded as Home Theater
and used codec 5.x
3. Does not play Divx from external USB HD.
4. If disk froze plug player off and back on
because there is no power button.
On positive site I can note it was set
with region code 0.
Anyway I requested RMA and do not recommend it.
 Not playing movies through USB July 24, 2008
The only concerns I had with the player is that the picture was at first skewed, so I had to fine tune the picture. I am missing also that the USB connection does not allow playing movies.
