Summary: 5 Stars
This player has a lot of well-implemented features for a good price. This Machine is Ultimately a Region Free DVD Player. Yes it can Play Region 1,2,3,4,5,6 PAL or NTSC on any TV. Great Buy " Great Job " North Star Electronics". Just pop in your european disc and it will paly right there on your screen no codes to enter no nothing. :
1) This player CAN play DTS discs via a DTS-capable receiver on the COAX digital output.
2) Region Free DVD Player, Can Play PAL or NTSC Region 1,2,3,4,5,6 right on your TV!
3)1've only had the player a couple of weeks, but I really like it so far. I'm not a Audio/Video-phile, but the picture and sound quality is good on my 42" 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.
Good Luck

Philips DVP5140 Multiformat DVD Player with DivX, MP3, Windows Media Support I was looking for a replacement DVD/CD player for my 5 year old sony when I came across this item. I thought 'what the heck' it's worth trying for $50. Well, I can only say I don't know how Philips does it for the money. The machine plays any disc I can throw at it, CDs. DVDs. MP3s DivX (I haven't tried Blue Ray). It was a snip to set up. Actually it didn't need to be set up, it did it all itself. It copes well with damaged discs (my old sony wouldn't look at any disc with a blemish in it). It is only about an inch thick so it slots in with all my other electronic gear easily.I've had it for almost three months now and would recommend it to anyone who wants a good basic disc player.Customer Review: A great DVD player for the money!

I bought this device because it could play DivX files mostly because I wanted to fit multiple movies onto DVDs. It was easy to setup, the menus are very easy to navigate, and all of the files that I had burned played beautifully. I was also able to play other home-made DVDs that had not been able to play on my older DVD player. The picture quality on the AVI files was perfect (although I just have a standard def TV), and the sound was great as well. My only complaints about the device would be that there is no eject button on the remote, and that if you have multiple video files they will play in order without allowing you to go back and choose another (at least that I have found).
I was able to burn video files to CD-Rs as well with this and they played beautifully also.
I highly recommend this product, and I had my parents get one for themselves as well.
Customer Review: Play files you can't play on your computer

Recently I have bought divx format items on Ebay which I was told would play on computer dvd. Some of these came from overseas. I took my discs to a computer store, and had to try several before I found one that was compatible. Even then i could not get the video aspect working properly on all my discs. Buying a new computer was an expensive option.
In the end after research I bought this machine, and fortunately my divx discs work very well. I was even able to set the machine so that it works without interfering with my existing video dvd set up because it does not need to connect to the tv using your antenna.
If you want to play your computer dvd's or divx, I recommend this machine. Can you think of a cheaper alternative, under $50? Also, the remote from my other Philips dvd player works on this machine which is cool.
Customer Review: Good product.

I used this item like a present for my father (he does not like complicate and advanced equipment). It's perfect just to watch movies at the weekend. Don't expect any kind of advanced audio decodification-video features. In the other hand if you want a player just to watch home videos and last releases, you don't have a plasma 50' tv then this one will satisfy you. general features like angles, zoom, widescreen letterbox options are available. Sometimes we look for advanced features that we will never use. My recommendation: if you're running out of space in your media center room, you have a traditional and modern tv then this little friend can keep you busy with all new releases. Buy it! You won't regret it. Now, if you're looking some advanced features like DTS, bluray, hd, etc, start you search and forget this one.
