Customer Reviews
Average Rating: out of 5 stars
Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - not as awesome as XBMC, chokes on H.264 AVC high
Reads acceptable well from high quality USB flash drives like Corsair and Lexar.

NOT a suitable replacement for an xbox with Xbox Media Center.

NOT a front end for NAS.

*** Will NOT play x264 / H.264 videos. ***

Upscaling is nice if one has high quality HDMI cables.

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Breaks gradually over the weeks...
This is the worst DVD player I've ever encountered: I even gave it 2 chances. When the first one started breaking down after a few weeks, I went and exchanged it, hoping I just got a messed up one.

After a few weeks, the same thing started to happpen:
First, it goes to the wrong chapter sometimes. Then it goes on to freezing when loading disc. Then, it moved onto freezing on boot-up so everytime I wanted to turn it on, I had to unplug the power cord.

Anyone who gave this a ... Read More

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - No support for 5.1 audio on USB
Every this is good as promised on the DVD player except for proper USB support. I would like to keep 5.1 audio on DivX movies. When I play the DivXfile from USB, it plays it in Stereo mode. When I copy the same file on a DVD+RW, it plays with 5.1 audio.

I talked to Philips tech support about this and they have no clue.

Searched on net and didn't get clue either :-(

Except for this glitch, it is a great player.

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Dead on Arrival
I just received this DVD player and its DOA out of the box.It turns on, it produces a video signal ( you can see the Philips screen and "loading" icon), but the DVD never loads.I called tech support and they said it was a lens alignment issue.I will return it for another one based on the majority of good reviews on this page.I am concerned that there is another DOA review on this product.

This is a very basic unit.It has few outputs - 3 component video, TV, audio L / R, Digital Coax ... Read More

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Was dead after one week...
That player is very nice, but it stopped to work after one week. First it lost one of the color in output signal and later it was dead completely. My friend have similar problem with the same model. His player lost one of the color on component output but still works great on HDMI output. But for how long?
Philips customer support center made a replacement for me on warranty but they send me DVP5982 instead of DVP5992 because my model was out of stock...
