Electronics : Philips DVP5982 1080p Upscaling DVD Player

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Very Nice, but...
I purchased this DVD player in May so that I could play my "avi" movies stored on Western Digital Passport (external hard drive). This player will not power the passport. I two sticks of Kingston 4gb data traveler flash drives and it would not work on this player. My son purchased 2 sticks of 4gb by Transcend and they worked perfectly. I am still looking for a DVD player that will play my WD passport.

Also, I could not get my photos to play from my 80gb IPOD. I would have given it 3 stars but I didn't see where the description said it would play these devices. I thought that since it had the USB port it would play.

Rating:

- It doen't play WMV files
The only problem is that it doesn't play WMV files, but you can find DVP5992 that can play some version of WMV files

Rating:

- it was what we thought it was
i purchased this unit for its purported ability to play dvds of any region, and to convert PAL to NTSC. using instructions found in another post here, i was easily able to set the player to region-free, et voila. it works.

Rating:

- Great for watching international DVDs
I purchased this DVD player for watching films from Germany. The instructions for unlocking it with the remote are very simple:

press Setup
select the Preference Tab
Press 1,3,8,9,3,1
Press up/down key to select "0"
and hit menu to exit.

After you do that, you can buy foreign films from amazon.de or other international Amazon websites, and watch them on this player. Very nice and a very nice price.

Rating:

- Pretty good value for the money
I should perhaps preface this review with the fact that I don't use this device as a media center; I stream my video and audio files through my Xbox 360. I am reviewing this purely on its performance as a DVD player.

This is a pretty solid little device. It's light and thin, having a fairly attractive and sleek appearance with its black finish. The upscaled image looks great on my 32" Samsung LCD with great color reproduction through the HDMI connection, though occasionally red objects seem to suffer from interlacing artifacts -- this mostly occurred on older, non-anamorphic DVDs, but it was a small concern and deserves to be noted.

More aggravating are the startup and menus. They're slow, bordering on painfully so. It takes a good ten to fifteen seconds for the tray to open when starting the machine via the "Open Tray" button. The menus often have a slight delay when navigating them, which can occasionally result in highlighting the wrong choice.

My biggest beef lies in the HDMI audio out. Due to a limitation with my television, I have to rely on the coaxial audio out to receive surround sound on my stereo system. Some hiccup inside this player constantly changes my settings back to HDMI audio out, which does me no good; even worse, it's not consistent, as sometimes my settings are left undisturbed, but mostly, once the player's been off, I need to readjust when I turn it back on. Thankfully, the setting has never reverted during playback, but it is a bit of an annoyance nonetheless.

As this review focuses on concerns about the device, you're probably wondering about the rating. Honestly, I wasn't expecting the greatest player on the market when I paid $50 for it, and the video quality has always been satisfactory, often exemplary. While it does have its foibles, the Philips DVP5982 does get the job done and is extremely affordable.

I suppose a truly accurate rating would be 3 1/2 stars.
