Product Description

Bring your audio and video to life with an excellent HDMI DVD player for your TV. When you use an HDMI port for connectivity with your 1080p capable TV. This DVD Player will upconvert an ordinary DVD to appear as if it were native to 1080p. This extremely compact player plays a wide variety of DVD discs as well as DiVX discs. It can also double as a CD player and will even play CD-R discs that have encoded MP3 files.

1.0 out of 5 stars NOT a multi-region DVD player, December 26, 2008

By	M. Horn (Salisbury, CT USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

We've just returned to the US after living overseas and bought this DVD player in order to play the DVD's we acquired in Europe. Tried unsuccessfully to set it up to play non-US DVD's. When I called Philips, I was told that they do not make or sell multi-region or code-free DVD players and this one will NOT WORK AS MARKETED. DO NOT BUY THIS IF YOU EXPECT TO PLAY DVD'S FIRST PLAYED IN OTHER REGIONS.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great, January 12, 2009

Amazon Verified Purchase

Works great. However when it goes standby, and the play button is pushed the video/audio cables need to be installed again.
