Good player
Unlike other temperamental machines that I have owned this one plays everything. You can save money over the higher priced version of this machine by making it region free by following these instructions:
To make it region code free follow these instruction:
1. Turn on the unit
2. Open the loading tray
3. Press the "Setup" button on the remote
4. Navigate to the "Preferences" page using the right arrow key
6. Press the down arrow once to enter the ...

Awsome DVD Player

Unbelievable features for a price anyone can afford.
I cannot fit all the good things I want to say about this product in only one review. I bought this due to the massive amounts of re-encoding required for converting DIVX and XVID movies to standalone-DVD format. It would take hours on end.
With this player you can copy the clips themselves to a blank CD-R or DVD-R and it works fine. I don't know why people report so many problems with this player - It's played every single disc I've thrown at it. Multi brands too, both -R, -RW, +R,...

Awesome DiVX functions, poor remote response
Tech Level: high
Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
Pros: plays almost anything I throw at it, as others have said.
Cons: My remote doesn't work very well. You have to point it right at the player, and the range is not very good. The other annoying aspect of this player is the 'sleep' mode. If you leave it paused for too long, player will go to sleep, and will not remember where it was in the movie, even with retail DVD's!...

Versatile Features and Good Price
I've only had the player a couple of days, but I really like it so far. I'm not a Audio/Video-phile, but the picture and sound quality is good on my 32" LCD HDTV once I turned on the Progressive Scan feature and hooked it up with a component cable. I also found start-up times and loading times to be good.
Of course I wouldn't buy this player if that's all I cared about, I also was interested in the DivX features and so far it's handled several files just perfectly. It has played a...

Great picture on large screen TV
The new Philips DVP5140 NTSC/PAL dvd player may be a worthwhile upgrade to the popular Philips DVP642. The Philips DVP5140 produces a better picture than the DVP642. The DVP5140 is "DivX Ultra" certified. The DVP5140 is an excellent example of Philips "plays it all" DVD players.
The DVP5140 uses a 12 bit/108 MHz video system instead of the 10 bit/54 MHz system used in the DVP642. The 12 bit/108 MHz video system produces visibly sharper images and natural colors. The quality of the p...

It does everything the reviewers say...just not for very long.
I raved about this player too when I first purchased it. It literally played EVERYTHING. It was cheap, and I used it quite a bit, so when it stopped reading any discs after about a year I wasn't all that upset. With all the features, and for the price, if I had to buy a new one every year, then so be it...a small price to pay for the ability to watch all my multi region DVDs and avi files on my TV.
I originally bought it at Wal Mart, who I discovered no longer carried it (now I un...

Will play NTSC and PAL
This a GREAT and nice-looking DVD player. Lovely picture, terrific audio and many cool features.
Please be aware that Philips only makes one model of the DVP5140. It will play any NTSC/PAL DVD onto any PAL or NTSC TV. I know this beacuse I called them and asked before buying mine.
So - if you want to play DVDs from any region in any format on any TV, DO NOT BUY the "Multi Region Code Free DVD player" which costs $89.99. Simply search for "DVP5140" and get the standa...

Great player at this price
Yes, this unit really can play PAL DVDs from any region on an NTSC TV. I didn't think that was possible at this price point. And of course, it plays NTSC DVDs just fine as well. It has all of the features you'd expect to find on a DVD player, and has a fine picture.
Don't believe the other reviews complaining about how it doesn't do something it should, or does something it shouldn't. These people didn't read the manual. The functions on the remote are somewhat non-standard, an...
