| 4 / 5 | great little value player!
Kalpesh (United Kingdom) - 13 July 2007 My first impressions of this dvd that it is well built and looks great. The Philips dvd player is small and slim, and so it is perfect for small rooms. You must be careful if you intend to put the dvd player on one of those tv and dvd wall brackets because it may not fit as the dvd player is small. The dvd player plays all dvds, inc copys. The dvd player does not have 'last memory' and so if you turn off your dvd player for a break then unfortunately you go back to the beginning of your DVD. On the positive, the dvd player has a great picture and sound quality, and looks great. You can follow the following instructions to make your philips dvd player multi region!!!!! 1. Turn on the unit 2. Open the loading tray 3. Press the "Setup" button on the remote 4. Navigate to the "Preferences" page using the right arrow key 5. Enter 138931 6. You will now see the current region code displayed 7. Use the Up/Down arrow keys to select the region required or "0" for all regions 8. Press the "Play" button on the remote I have given the DVD player 4 stars because of the absence of 'last memory'. I hope my review has helped! ... Read Full Review » |

HJ (Wales, UK) - 10 October 2007 No Open/Close button for the disc tray on the remote is not really so annoying. You can't put a dvd in the player by remote control afterall and thinking back I only rarely used that button on my old player's remote, the only advantage in any case was the tray being open before I reached the player, and it's not like it takes ages for the tray to open. I was a bit bothered that it was multi-region 'capable', my old player was fully multi-regional and my only experience of region hacks prior to this was pressing 1 repeatedly while the dvd loaded, and while the NTSC film would play none of the functions such as Pause etc. would work. No such problem with this player, the region hack -- posted in an earlier review here :) -- works fine and not only that it stays in, you don't have to repeat the process again unless for some reason you wish to change the region code again. It doesn't come with skart or AV cables so you need to buy either separately if you don't have either already. Overall a great buy, can't go wrong with Philip's, recommended.... Read Full Review » |
| 4 / 5 | Excellent no frills little player
Gervillion Swike (Largs, UK) - 22 October 2007 I just bought one of these to replace an ageing (but expensive) unit that decided overnight to stop playing discs. The picture quality of this is superb for something that costs less than 30 quid. It does exactly what it says on the tin, plays your dvd's for you. Couple of caveats - it only has a digital coax output, and no onboard surround sound, may be an issue for some, but not me. My only gripe was having to manually change the player's picture settings between 4:3 and 16:9 depending on the aspect ratio of the film I was watching. In 4:3 letterbox mode, it switched my 16:9 TV into WIDE mode, but the picture quality was just not quite as good, (noticeable blurring on tight cross-hatched areas was evident), as when both player and TV were in native 16:9 mode. A couple of other reviewers have mentioned that there is no Eject button on the remote - a few minutes sitting on the lavatory with the instruction manual in hand would have revealed that pressing and holding the Stop button ejects the tray. Remember BAGS, RTFM. I'd give it 4.5 out of 5 if I was allowed to, but I can't, and on the basis that nothing's perfect, it gets a 4.... Read Full Review » |

S. J. Dambrauskas (York, UK) - 5 November 2007 This is an excellent multi region DVD player for the price! Nice sound, nice picture, great sleek design and to top it all off it plays pretty much all formats/regions I've thrown at it so far! Buy it now - you won't be disappointed. |
| 5 / 5 | I bought three
Mr. Paul Millennas (UK) - 3 March 2008 I updated some lone TV's around the house with DVD players of this model. I have had no problems with them. The unit looks good and the remote control is solid and reliable. It took a while to realise that holding down STOP performed EJECT I have converted all to multi-region and play European, American and Asian DVDs without error. I also use them to play DVDs that I have recorded off my Sony PVR, including ones that I have compressed. All three work the same and have the same quality. Picture, colour and stability is good. This is well worth the money.... Read Full Review » |
