Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Philips DVP5140 Multiformat DVD Player with DivX, MP3, Windows Media Support
Customer Review: One player for every disc!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This player is amazing...I am very happy for my purchase and the reasons for appear below:
Pros:
- Great slim and slick design
- It is multisystem, plays on both PAL/NTSC
- It plays whatever you put in there. Many dvd players
that i tried wouldn't play some of my homebrew dvd titles.
This little machine plays them all!!
- It can be converted easily to multiregion
- The sound is very good even with divx movies
Cons:
- the only cons is the limit on the number of letters
that appear in the menu when you try to watch a divx movie.
The filenames are cut in half.
Since the only cons doesn't create any problem to me i decided to
give 5 stars to this product. Highly recommended and you won't regret it...;)
Customer Review: plays DVDs from all countries
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this player because it plays DVDs sent by family and friends in Europe and Asia. In particular one previous reviewer, H.A. Emet, posted easy instructions to make it play DVDs from all regions. All credit goes to Emet and below are his instructions. They work!
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 Preference page
5. Enter 138931 on the remote
6. You will now see the current region code displayed
7. Use the Up/Down arrow keys to select the region required or "0" for all regions
8. Press the "Play" button on the remote
Customer Review: Very Nice...
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm not an expert on DVD players but I watch lots of movies. I have some movies that are from another region and I couldn't watch them on my previous DVD player.
I received my Philips DVP5140 today and I was so excited about it. I checked most of my CDs, VCDs, DVDs in this one and the result was amazing. Like other people have said, this DVD player shows almost everything. Well, it showed all of my CDs, DVDs, VCDs and I am so happy about it.
About "how many months, years will this dvd player work?", that I don't know but I hope it will work long enough..
This will be a good player for those who don't like to sit behind the computer and watch movies that are in different CD formats. Also it will be a good DVD player for those who want a clear picture while watching a movie. ;)
Customer Review: 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:

Probably can't beat it for the money
Customer Review: Great DVD player
Summary: 5 Stars
I've had this DVD player for almost two years now. It always worked great.
Plays anything I throw at it (divx, other avi, dvds, etc). I mainly play dvds
and avi files, so I cannot vouch for other formats, though. It comes as a region 1 player (if you buy it in the US), but unlocking it so that it plays other regions took 30 seconds (google and you'll find how to do it). Overall, it is a great product. I read that the remote is flimsy and so I control it with my universal remote and have its own remote put away
in case I need it at some point for some menus that the universal remote can't access. Didn't need to use it so far (other than for unlocking the player).
I should also add that I recommended this player to a friend and they love it as well.
