Product Description

Be impressed with this Philips DVD player with HDMI digital video and audio connection. Step into another home entertainment arena as you immerse yourself with High Definition video (720p / 1080i/1080p). HDMI for simple AV connection: HDMI stands for High Definition Multimedia Interface. It is a direct digital connection that can carry digital HD video as well as digital multichannel audio. By eliminating the conversion to analog signals it delivers perfect picture and sound quality, completely free from noise. HDMI is fully backward-compatible with (Digital Video Interface) DVI. DivX Ultra Certified: DivX Ultra combines DivX playback with great features like integrated subtitles, multiple audio languages, multiple tracks and menus into one convenient file format. High definition JPEG playback: High definition JPEG playback lets you view your pictures on your television in resolutions as high as two megapixels. Now you can view your digital pictures in absolute clarity, without loss of quality or detail - and share them with friends and family in the comfort of your living room. Progressive Scan: Progressive Scan doubles the vertical resolution of the image resulting in a noticeably sharper picture. Instead of sending a field comprising the odd lines to the screen first, followed by the field with the even lines, both fields are written at one time. A full image is created instantaneously, using the maximum resolution. At such a speed, your eye perceives a sharper picture with no line structure. Hi-Speed USB 2.0 Link: The Universal Serial Bus or USB is a protocol standard that is conveniently used to link PCs, peripherals and consumer electronic equuipment. Hi-Speed USB devices have a data transfer rate of up to 480 Mbps - up from the 12 Mbps in original USB ones. With Hi-Speed USB 2.0 Link, all you have to do is plug in your USB device, select the movie, music or photo and play away.

This is a very good DVD palyer, with a USb input to view photos. I am trying to see if this port can play avi, wma Dvix moveis.

I view many foreign movies, this is the only one that does not give me problem. Philips DVD is the only brand I buy becasue of the region-free feature.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very reasonable region free DVD player, August 3, 2009

By	DCGUY (Maryland, USA) - See all my reviews

I recently purchased a refurbished DVP5992/37B Philips DVD player solely to be able to play DVDs from other countries. The majority of USA DVD players will only play Region 1 coded DVDs and will not accept any DVDs coded to other regions. This player has many features (USB, DivX, WMV format playing capabilities, etc.) that might come in handy in the future should I wish to use them. The player normally is not set to region zero which allows you to play any DVD from any other country besides the USA. If it is not preset, you have to modify it through a menu screen setting (other reviews provide this information). This information is not in the manual and is not supported by the manufacturer (there is even a note on their website that changing it voids the warranty). I updated my model and it plays all region coded DVDs unlike my other players. Remote control was improved and now includes a separate eject button. You can also change the auto standby function to your liking (including turning it off). Very lightweight model and uses very little electricity. It has the most common hookups for DVD players (composite, S-video, component, and HDMI). Mine only cost under $30.

5.0 out of 5 stars ok region free player, August 14, 2009

By	J. tran "mimo" (TX) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Very fast shipping with 3 days, Just got it. Opened the box, everything plays well, no problem at all. I have DVD from China,I think its region 6 (not so sure) No need any set up at all. Very good picture! But after play few days I have few problem with this player, I can not turn off the player, its only standby, and the DVD tray will open itself. also I can not put this player stack with others cause the DVD tray will open I think the player is so sensitive , and some time the player will turn on itself if I didn't unplug the power. Cant believe the player this cheap, but I only happy its plays all my DVD.
