"Very Sleek DVD Player Region Free" | 2008-09-27 |
| - Reviewed By esfb8zs1 |
| Just received this DVD player. My old KLH DVD player is almost 3 times as thick as the Philips 5140. The remote IR window on the front of the player is very sensitive. The remote must be pointed directly at it. That may be one reason some people have had a hard time programming the player to be region free. It took me two tries to get the region code screen to display. Connecting and setting up the player was a breeze. Video is crisp and bright and audio is clear. Such a treat to be able to watch my UK DVD's now! Thanks H. A. Emet.br /br /Update 9/28/08: From page 22 of the User's Manual - If you hold down the stop button on the remote, the disc tray will open. If you hold down the stop button again, the tray will close. |

"Very good player for the money" | 2008-09-22 |

| I bought this unit because my older model Toshiba player had problems playing DVD-R's and even some DVD's. This little guy plays everything! Not a fancy player and I agree that the remote is rudimentary, but I am still very pleased with my purchase. Good value for the money. |

| After reading other reveiws, I purchased this unit early last year. The multi region function works flawlessly, the picture is very good for those of us who haven't upgraded to HDTV/Blu-Ray, etc. br /br /I'm back to order 2 more today to replace the other models (stay away from Toshiba) im my home that have recently started giving me lots of problems with reading discs. |

| This product plugged in and worked. I was surprised to find the remote does not provide a fast forward feature, only a scene advance option. Don't worry, any old universal remote provides this feature without a problem. |

| The item is very good. Everything plays like a charm and I mean everything, CD's, mp3, DVD, DivX etc. I have never seen something that complete for such a low price. Some features are missing like memory when the video is stopped and other little things but the unit do what it promises. Other thing... the resolution for the DivX is a bit low... it is good quality for TV shows that I download and watch aftwerwards but not so good for movies... but again, at such a low price I cannot not complain at all... |

"Good player, Poor user manual" | 2008-09-10 |

I'm happy with this player. It does what it's suppose to do, but not all features are described in the manual that comes with it. Additions to the manual can be found online at [...] This decribes how you can resume playback from where you left off if you turn off the unit, how to open the tray, and other things.
One thing that I really like about this player is that the remote is well laid out and not cramped. You cna change the chapters, fast forward or fast reverse, open the tray, or get back to the DVD's main menu.
The unit supports Windows Media but only WMA files on audio disks. It will not play WMV videos.
In two weeks time the unit has worked without fail. It does not skip. It plays music CDs. The picture is sharp and the audio is great. The unit is somewhat slow to respond to commands, but I think this is inherent in all DVD players.
I bought this unit for $[...] plus shipping from a vendor who lists here at Amazon. This is a good price for this unit. |

| I used this item like a present for my father (he does not like complicate and advanced equipment). It's perfect just to watch movies at the weekend. Don't expect any kind of advanced audio decodification-video features. In the other hand if you want a player just to watch home videos and last releases, you don't have a plasma 50' tv then this one will satisfy you. general features like angles, zoom, widescreen letterbox options are available. Sometimes we look for advanced features that we will never use. My recommendation: if you're running out of space in your media center room, you have a traditional and modern tv then this little friend can keep you busy with all new releases. Buy it! You won't regret it. Now, if you're looking some advanced features like DTS, bluray, hd, etc, start you search and forget this one. |

"Multi Regional DVD Player" | 2008-09-07 |

First of all, I love the slim line look and light weight feel to this DVD player. I haven't had the chance yet, to play any DVD's other than NSTC, so I haven't tested it for PAL DVD's which is the reason I purchased this player. Reading the helpful hints and coding to use to enable this player to play all regions will help a great deal when my PAL DVD's arrive from England. It is becoming a bit more difficult to find multiregional players, and this was a great deal for the price. |
