5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT DVD PLAYER, BUT DOES NOT PLAY ANY REGION, November 23, 2008

By

Amazon Verified Purchase

This review is from: PHILIPS 10.2" MULTI REGION ZONEFREE PORTABLE DVD PLAYER. PLAYS DVDS FROM ANY REGION ANY COUNTRY. 100V TO 240V FOR WORLDWIDE USE. (Electronics)

This DVD play is wonderful. It has a beautiful screen and the color is great. However it is falsely advertised as any region from any country.
WRONG!!! I called the customer help line when it did not work and they told me to look at the bottom of the player and in the world icon it would have a number. It did. No. 1. meaning only region 1 dvd's. Amazon is
advertising this product wrong. The person who helped me said so. So if you are looking fo a great dvd player this is it. But if you want to play region 2,4 or anything other than 1... KEEP LOOKING!!!! I'm giving it a 5 because it is a great player. Just not a great any region, any country player.

5.0 out of 5 stars EXACTLY AS ADVERTISED -- PLAYS MULTI REGIONS BEAUTIFULLY, April 27, 2009

This review is from: PHILIPS 10.2" MULTI REGION ZONEFREE PORTABLE DVD PLAYER. PLAYS DVDS FROM ANY REGION ANY COUNTRY. 100V TO 240V FOR WORLDWIDE USE. (Electronics)

I was concerned about the review posted by Gail (Simone), so before making this purchase I sent an e-mail to VCT Electronics to confirm that the player would play all regions. They kindly replied in the affirmative. The item was delivered to me promptly via FedEx. It is beautiful in appearance and performance. I immediately tried to play a Region 2 copy of Blott on the Landscape (I've given up waiting for BBC America to release a US version), and it played perfectly. And, of course, the US Region 1 DVDs I tried all worked perfectly as well.

At the time I purchased this DVD player (April 2009), five sellers were listed on the Amazon page. I made my purchase from the preferred seller, VCT Electronics, for a price of about $225. The other four sellers all had slightly lower prices (ranging from $210 to $215). Perhaps Gail sought to save a bit and made her purchase from a seller other than VCT Electronics, someone who was not as scrupulous about adhering to the product description. I can reassure other prospective customers that the player I received from VCT Electronics is exactly as advertised.

I am extremely pleased with this purchase. The picture is gorgeous, and the sound is splendid (no headphones required!). The remote control even has volume and mute buttons, a great convenience that neither of my previous DVD players provided. The white plastic case is truly as lovely as a glistening pearl -- I gasped at first sight, as I was expecting some run-of-the-mill aluminum or stainless steel case.

As this is a recent purchase, I cannot speak to the long-term reliability of this player. But the player I received definitely fits the Amazon description, and it is much nicer than I had expected.

There are two of these. One is a region-free and one is not. So be careful choosing. I own the region-free one. Beautiful picture. Wonderful sound. Highly recommended.
