Customer Reviews

Great product5
Philips playback just keeps getting better. I enjoy watching shows from the UK, Australia, and occasionally Asia, and this box handles the various region DVD's, plus does a great job of playing Mpegs and DivX/Xvid avi files in their various formats. My only complaint is that the user interface via the remote can feel a little awkward at times, but the performance, sound, and picture quality are wonderful on my big hidef tv. Great stuff.

Freedom to View5
This machine allows one to view dvd's in any format. It's cheap, of exellent quality and easy to use. Now you can have a complete cinemateque of any artist regardless of which country the dvd was published.

Buy it cheaper from Amazon instead1
This PHILIPS DVP 5140 is identical to the one amazon sells for nearly half the price at Philips DVP5140 Multiformat DVD Player with DivX, MP3, Windows Media Support. Although it ships from Amazon in region 1 mode, its a cinch to switch it to multi-region mode following the instructions in one of the reviews there (http://www.amazon.com/review/R1XJZ8ZG9KQRL7/ref=cm_cr_rdp_perm) - I know 'cos I just bought one. I plugged one of my PAL region 2's in before changing anything and it gave me a region error, then I followed the instructions and my region 2 PAL DVD magically played, and on an NTSC TV too.
I only plugged it in for the first time today, but it just worked first time with no set-up at all (other than the multi-region thing).
Only down side so far is the delayed response to the controls, both remote and buttons - other than that, I'm totally pleased.
1 star reflects the price of this page only - not the product.
