Does not work in my dvd players. This format should be stated under the picture of the dvd so customers will know before they buy. Advertising is very misleading.

I bought this thinking I could connect a USB portable drive to this player, and play my divx movies on it, but I cannot.  It will not recognize them.  I have two, one is a 160 GB Fat 32 Western Digital Drive usb powered, and the other is a 500 GB, Fat 32 Self powered drive.  It only allows me to put movies on a thumbdrive and plug it in.  Luckily, I have an 8 GB thumb drive for my trip, but this is not what I wanted.  I also tried putting the movies on a DVD-RW disk, and it didn't like that either.  If this isn't a problem for you, then this is a good buy, if it is not, then I suggest looking for a Philips or a Toshiba that might play movies from the usb drive.

Unfortunately, this is a REGION 4 DVD and can not be played in most DVD players.  I was really excited about this DVD and could not wait for it to show up but upon putting it in my DVD player(s) and computer just to find out that it is a REGION 4 and is NOT compatible with US DVD players. I wasted my money so please beware before buying this item.

Do not order this product. Had to return; it would not play on any DVD player. We have DVD players from different years and even bought a new DVD player with no luck. Had to buy the individual DVDs

Hooked up the switch but will not work for my DVD and computer. The switch requires for any item plugged into it to be turned completely off or the switch becomes confused and will not work. You must at that point physically unplug and replug in the HDMI cord to get it to work. I cannot turn off my DVD player with the remote, I can only put it in standby mode which is causing the problem..be aware of this before you purchase.

A warning should come with this DVD player that the remote is not universal. It will only work with a Panasonic TV! That's ridiculous in the age of modern electronics.

No sooner did I start using this DVD player than it stopped working with DVDs. It still plays CDs, but it won't read a single DVD. I tried troubleshooting using information from Philips and online to no avail. I contacted Philips and they said that I will need to ship it in to have warranty work done and that I must pay for the shipping. While paying for the shipping is a standard clause of the warranty, I think it's BS to have to pay to fix a DVD player that stopped working within its first week of use. I will probably by a different brand rather than have this one fixed.

This would not work on our DVD player.  And we have a blu-ray.  It would not play on our computer, either.  Returned for refund.

I bought this specifically to play the DVDs I got from China. Mostly it worked, but I found some US DVDs do not play. Since I have another US player, I could live with it. More disappointingly, I recently got a finding Nemo DVD in Region 6 format. The player just said it has the wrong region code. I know the DVD is ok because I tried it on computer. I am so frustrated juggling the different players.

Has to be installed in compatibility mode as a result programs that need to find it can't. The software that comes with it say's you can make video dvd's but it doesn't come with any dvd codec to play them what are these people thinking. Can go and buy power dvd for another 40.00 bucks.

Won't play on all my DVD players. I don't know why that is but I have enough to find one that worked.

Ok, I purchased this system in March and keep having trouble with DVD player.. Sound of movie plays, but picture is not on screen. Have made sure that is on proper channels, inputs, cables are connected correctly, etc. and cannot get it to work. Very disappointed with this feature, but other than that the system is ok. Any suggestions or recommendations for this problem would be welcome!

Works on 'some' DVD players. No guarantee it will play on yours!

I am unable to use it with my recently bought main tv. It is a Samsung Smart TV, nor can I plug it iinto my DIRECTV Genie system. I don't have a DVD player set up. I can use it with my little used second tv. Great concept but very disappointed.
