This is a good little player which comes set up to play all regions (USA, Europe and rest of the world). See my review for details. I've had it for over a year and it performs flawlessly.

First DVD player that has successfully played foreign DVD's. I bought two, one for my parents and one for my aunt. Very satisfied.

I bought this player for the region-free playback, and it does that straight out of the box. It has HDMI connection for up scaling. I can't think of any cons, I'm happy with it overall.

It does play everything I wanted it to play, from multiple regions. There have been a few times when it stopped reading a disc, but not often. And I regularly find that when I first turn it on, there is something wrong with the signal to the TV, but a restart fixes it.

I did purchase this DVD player a few months ago, used it twice and on the third attempt it ceased to operate. As I had it for a few months, saved the original box but had stupidly disposed of the receipt and rather than going through a lot of uneccesary changes threw the inoperable DVD player in the garbage. But to get your question answered properly, I would suggest that you ask someone who is electronically educated. Sorry, I could not help you.

Hi Tito, We returned the Philips DVD Player because it was not compatible with our TV (we have an older TV). However, the DVD Player that we got also did not have a manual (hard to believe!!). We looked up the model number on line and had to print the whole thing. I guess that's what I would suggest for you to do. Not very professional of the companies selling these products, but what can we do? Hope this helps.

I have has some success with it. It will ask you to download an add on. It is safe and it helps. I've had some newer DVD's that didn't work. Hope this helps. Otherwise, I highly recommend.

I wish I could help but I bought mine brand new on Amazon about a year and a half ago. The unit is a nice one and I have not had any problems with it. It plays all formats and getting a 5 or 6 dvd changer that also has HD upscaling is getting pretty hard to find.Realistically, I cannot see ANYONE selling a dvd player WITHOUT a remote since it is almost useless without it.

We have had that product for several years now and it has been trouble free. Being new to the American market, that was a concern of mine prior to purchase, but that was quickly proven false. We are very satisfied with this product. It really does play any dvd, or cd we have put in it.

It is awesome! It plays all our Blue Ray, DVD's and British DVD's and does so much more! We are very happy with the player.

Is an excellent Dvd player Also you can put memory card and play mp4 avi and others formats. I used to used with my 720p Television and has a great picture view. But I do not what you try to say with G's.The remote control is bad but was my fault, is broken 'cause was in the floor and I got 235 pounds. lol .

I think so. I don't have the DVD player anymore. I bought a blue ray player. You are better off getting a blue ray player because you can play blue rays and DVDs in them. Plus for blue ray the picture is better. Anyway blue rays are becoming more popular.

It plays DVDs like any other DVD player. Just switch it to the DVD setting rather than the hard drive setting

I had the same problems with this player and the best option I can tell you is to send it back and purchase the sony player. It is a little more money but it is ten times a better player

I've had mine for about 2.5 years and it is working flawlessly. This is, by far, the best Bluray/DVD player that I have ever owned - 2nd best would be my Oppo BDP-83. FYI, I have not loaded the latest firmware because I want to retain ISO file playback capability. These are exceptionally good players, I highly recommend them. -RW-

Hi there K.........how did this unit turn out for you? I've had mine for a couple of years so far, and it plays DVD's great. I gave up on learning how to copy a tape to a disk, but that is the one feature I needed to rid myself of boxes of old VCR tapes. (See my posts dated 2/21/10.) James says I need a tuner, however the inst. book does not mention that. Thanks for the help, Jeanette
