Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Your dream player with flawless, true-to-life picture quality and the ability to play virtually any disc. The Philips DVD player delivers your movies and music entertainment experience. The DVP3140 features ultra-slim design that fits anywhere, high-quality outputs for analog and digital audio, and plays CD, (S)VCD, DVD, DVD+R/RW, DVD-R/RW discs.

12-bit, 108 MHz Video Processing for Sharp, Natural Images
The DVP3140's 12-bit video DAC is a superior digital-to-analog converter that preserves every detail of the authentic picture quality. It shows subtle shades and smoother graduation of colors, resulting in a more vibrant and natural picture. The limitation of the usual 10-bit digital-to-analog converter becomes particularly apparent while using large screens and projectors.

192 kHz, 24-bit Audio Digital-to-Analog Converter Enhances Analog Sound Input
192 kHz sampling enables you to have an accurate representation of the original sound curves. Together with a 24-bit resolution, more information is captured from the original analog sound wave form, giving a much richer audio reproduction.

Progressive Scan Component Video for Optimized Image Quality
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.

DivX for Standard Playback of All DivX Media Files
With DivX support, you are able to enjoy DivX encoded videos in the comfort of your living room. The DivX media format is an MPEG4-based video compression technology that enables you to save large files like movies, trailers and music videos on media like CD-R/RW, and DVD recordable discs.

Plays DivX, MP3, WMA and JPEG Digital Camera Photos
Multi-format playability allows you to play most file formats for maximum listening and viewing pleasure, including MP3, WMA, JPEG and the popular DivX digital media format. DivX playback enables you to play and share compressed high quality DivX video content beyond your computer.

What's in the Box

5.0 out of 5 stars MULTI REGION CODEFREE DVD PLAYER WITH DivX. PLAYS PAL/NTSC DVDS, September 17, 2007

By	Tepavicharov (NJ United States) - See all my reviews

Make it Region free you will not regretted:

I bought two of these and was disappointed to find they were both Region 1 only...until I did this:

1. Make sure there is no disc in the player.
2. Turn power off and on again.
3. Open the tray.
4. On the remote, hit 9879 and then 0. This changes unit to Region 0, meaning it'll play all regions.
5. Hit OK on the remote.
6. The screen will display a massage

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Deal - With Some Work, August 9, 2007

By	D. Oconnell (Lindenhurst, New York United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought this as a multi region unit to play UK dvd's.
The machine is locked to region 1 so and after calling Phillips I was told they this ONLY applies in the US. If you buy it in Canada it is unlocked to all regions.

2 minutes with Google and a simple code entry on the remote and it is now unlocked. NOW its a great deal. No complaints at all apart from the locking silliness.

By	K. Minger (Coral Gables, FL United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I needed a dvd player for the back room to enjoy movies from blockbuster on.. This player works great, even if the dvds aren't up to par.. The player runs with no skips and a great picture..
