Rating:  - Works for me!
I've had this dvd/divx player for a while now and after reading some of the other reviews here decided my review was long overdue.
To answer some questions that have previously been asked:
*There is a fast-forward and rewind function on this player - the arrow buttons pointing left and right either side of the 'OK' button on the remote control work very well and there is a choice of 2x 4x 8x 16x and 32x (on my player anyway!)
*Slow motion playback is available ... Read More
Rating: - Great for playing CDs and MP3s
I've owned this player for over a year now. As others have said elsewhere, the picture quality is great (HDMI)but the remote is crap.
I have a decent but old but well regarded Philips CD player and own some other decent hi fi equipment. The DVD player is linked up to the hi fi system via an amplifier as I like a big, high quality sound when watching films. Anyway I decided to mess about with the audio settings on the DVD player - something called CD upsampling - which I set to the highest ... Read More
Rating:  - Nice picture quality but pity about the remote control...
ok just recieved this product and set it up using the hints in the other reviews here -
just to note on the steps laid out to sort out the multi-region settings -NOTE - dont get the password/security code mixed up with the hacker code below - the hacker code is the only one of interest in setting up the regions
1. Turn on the unit
2. Open the loading tray (do not close it or put any disc in or the device will try to read the region on THAT disc and will throw up an error) ... Read More
Rating:  - Freezes when screen gets busy!
When playing Divx files, if there's significant movement on the screen, the video starts to jerk (badly!) and the audio starts to crack and drop out.
I have verified this with a number of high-quality, high-speed USB flash drives and USB hard drives.
I can only speculate that Philips must have skimped on the decoder to keep the price down!
Buying this player is a recipe for many ruined nights in, hoping to watch a film and being sorely disappointed part-way through ... Read More
Rating:  - Not great at all
i was very underwhelmed with this DVD player. The picture through HDMI is ok, but Divx playback is plain awful. the menus are clunky and slow, and have difficulties playing some discs. It simply wont let you play a movie until the title sequence on the DVD menu has completed one full cycle on more than one of my DVDs.
Its cheap, but you get what you pay for. Sorry Philips, you have taken my money for the last time!
