Customer Review: A really nice player!
Summary: 5 Stars
I was really dubious about the quality of this unit, but bought it anyways. I have yet to find a disc it won't play and the up-converted picture quality is as good (or at least nearly as good) as the up-conversion on my $400 blu ray player. I bought it because so many movies I like are available in other regions of the world and not in the U.S. I've heard stories about problems playing PAL movies on U.S. TVs -- none here! I hooked it up to my 65" Mitsubishi LCD HDTV via an HDMI connector (not supplied) and every PAL disc I've played is crystal clear, sharp and detailed, with no video noise or distortion. I'm watching old favorites I haven't in seen 20 years and they look better than ever!
This unit doesn't have all the bells and whistles you'd expect from a high-end player. For example, if you're looking for high-end audio you probably won't find it here. But it does a great job in delivering all the basics and it even has a few features I didn't expect (like digital zoom). I've had some issues with Philips in the past, but they did a nice job on this unit and at a very reasonable price. In fact, I liked it so much that I bought a second unit for the bedroom. I wanted something to up-convert regular DVDs for my Vizio HD set and I didn't want to spend the big bucks on another blu ray.
Description of Philips DVP5982 HDMI 1080p DivX Ultra DVD Player
Philips High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) It features an HDMI output, capable of upconverting video signals to 720p/1080i . This technology enables it to carry high-definition audio and video information through a single cable and achieving the highest quality picture and clearest sound available. Progressive Scan This is a progressive scan DVD player, capable of scanning an entire video frame at once; scan-lines commonly associated with interlaced video are drastically reduced. The result is a spectacularly clear image with no motion artifacts (stair-stepping), and details so sharp they seem as if they're etched onto the screen. Built-in Multi-Channel Decoders This has built-in processors to handle the multi-channel decoders for Dolby Digital and DTS surround-sound, capable of advanced 24-bit processing and an outstanding sampling frequency of 192KHz. DivX Ultra Home Theater Certified DivX is video compression software which enables high quality video to be compressed into very small files then downloaded onto CD-R or CD-RW and played back with very little loss of quality. Multi-Format Player Don't worry about limited playback capabilities, it plays DVD Audio/Video, DVD-R/W, DVD+R/W, CD, CD-R/W, SVCD, DivX Ultra, MP3, WMA, JPEG, HD-JPEG and TIFF. High-Performance Outputs With playback specifications that meet the standards of professionals, it features a component video output for high-resolution low-distortion video playback, and a coaxial digital-audio output for high-quality audio playback. USB Direct Just plug your device into the USB port on your Philips DVD system. Your digital music and photos will be played directly from the device. Now you can share your favorite moments with family and friends. Parental ControlDigital Cameras and Photo Categories
