Philips DVP5982 1080p Upscaling DVD Player Reviews
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.
It would earn 5 stars except for the lack of ability to generate 5.1 sound with a direct connection to my sound system. The DVD player works as it should, and the picture looks great. I don't know if I can get it out of the TV set with a HDMI connection. No complaints there.
Muy Buen Equipo, me permite verš todos los formatos que bajo de internet ademas de los DVD convencionales. La unica contra es que un poco lento para algunas funciones. Lo recomiendo.
BUY IT. All said and done. Perhaps a diet of daily power interruptions, rather dusty environs, and occassional extremes of arid heat and chilly dampness accelerated its demise. Not over-loaded with 'lookit my new toy' bells and whistles that nearly no one uses, but still not as intuitive as the older model. This Philips DVD player was bought to replace an earlier version purchased almost 3 years ago. The white remote is a color choice that will show dirt very soon, but the DVD unit itself is great, is thin so it fits in tight cabinets on top of the TV, looks good, and was delivered VERY quickly at a 'great value' price.
No matter, having had the first one, had no hesitation to buy this as a replacement, and will likely go back for a similar model when this one finally dies. Still if only NTSC & PAL discs are in your collection, it does the job just fine. I could not test the up-converting feature as my multi-zone/multi-voltage tv is not HDTV capable, so I have no such discs in my collection at this time. - JS That model finally went psycho, doing many weird things during playback, such as suddenly deciding there was "no disc", etc. This newer model is not coded for, nor have I a code to make it, "all regions" unlike the programming I found for the old one.
The Amazon price is again excellent, as was the service.
Philips is the best for up-conversion players in my experience working in a home entertainment store. Excellent picture quality from 480p to 1080p. Don't bother spending too much money on an HDMI cable if you weren't sure. This will definitely tide you over on any new HDTV until blu-ray comes down in price.
No thanks). You won't regret it. It's hard to navigate and hard to understand at points, but it works. Not to mention this model is cheaper than most I've seen in stores. The menu system as others have said, is archaic.
($30+ a movie. I can't say I see a noticeable difference beyond 720p, but that is most likely due to the limitations of a standard definition DVD. The newer a movie/dvd is, the better it seems to look on it. For example, The Matrix didn't look quite as impressive visually as when I tried putting in the Transformers movie, which looked outstanding. I use the 6ft HDMI cable that came as a special purchase with this player for only a penny more and it worked great.
