    Editorial Reviews: Bring your audio and video to life with an excellent HDMI DVD player for your TV. When you use an HDMI port for connectivity with your 1080p capable TV. this Philips DV5982 DVD Player will upconvert an ordinary DVD to appear as if it were native to 1080p. This extremely compact player plays a wide variety of DVD discs as well as DiVX discs. It can also double as a CD player and will even play CD-R discs that have encoded MP3 files. So when you add this component to your home-theater system, it delivers outstanding, versatile audio and video performance. Then there's more! Somewhat unique to DVD players is the inclusion of a USB port at the front of the unit. If you use a USB-equipped media card reader or a USB Flash pocket drive, you can export images from your digital camera or card-based camcorder directly to your player for throughput to your TV. Widescreen ready, this player is an ideal companion for your new widescreen HDTV in your home.

    Summary: Very Nice, but...
    Comment: I purchased this DVD player in May so that I could play my "avi" movies stored on Western Digital Passport (external hard drive). This player will not power the passport. I two sticks of Kingston 4gb data traveler flash drives and it would not work on this player. My son purchased 2 sticks of 4gb by Transcend and they worked perfectly. I am still looking for a DVD player that will play my WD passport.

    Also, I could not get my photos to play from my 80gb IPOD. I would have given it 3 stars but I didn't see where the description said it would play these devices. I thought that since it had the USB port it would play.

    Summary: It doen't play WMV files
    Comment: The only problem is that it doesn't play WMV files, but you can find DVP5992 that can play some version of WMV files

    Summary: it was what we thought it was
    Comment: i purchased this unit for its purported ability to play dvds of any region, and to convert PAL to NTSC. using instructions found in another post here, i was easily able to set the player to region-free, et voila. it works.

    Summary: Great for watching international DVDs
    Comment: I purchased this DVD player for watching films from Germany. The instructions for unlocking it with the remote are very simple:

    press Setup
    select the Preference Tab
    Press 1,3,8,9,3,1
    Press up/down key to select "0"
    and hit menu to exit.

    After you do that, you can buy foreign films from amazon.de or other international Amazon websites, and watch them on this player. Very nice and a very nice price.

    Summary: Pretty good value for the money
    Comment: I should perhaps preface this review with the fact that I don't use this device as a media center; I stream my video and audio files through my Xbox 360. I am reviewing this purely on its performance as a DVD player.

    This is a pretty solid little device. It's light and thin, having a fairly attractive and sleek appearance with its black finish. The upscaled image looks great on my 32" Samsung LCD with great color reproduction through the HDMI connection, though occasionally red objects seem to suffer from interlacing artifacts -- this mostly occurred on older, non-anamorphic DVDs, but it was a small concern and deserves to be noted.

    More aggravating are the startup and menus. They're slow, bordering on painfully so. It takes a good ten to fifteen seconds for the tray to open when starting the machine via the "Open Tray" button. The menus often have a slight delay when navigating them, which can occasionally result in highlighting the wrong choice.

    My biggest beef lies in the HDMI audio out. Due to a limitation with my television, I have to rely on the coaxial audio out to receive surround sound on my stereo system. Some hiccup inside this player constantly changes my settings back to HDMI audio out, which does me no good; even worse, it's not consistent, as sometimes my settings are left undisturbed, but mostly, once the player's been off, I need to readjust when I turn it back on. Thankfully, the setting has never reverted during playback, but it is a bit of an annoyance nonetheless.

    As this review focuses on concerns about the device, you're probably wondering about the rating. Honestly, I wasn't expecting the greatest player on the market when I paid $50 for it, and the video quality has always been satisfactory, often exemplary. While it does have its foibles, the Philips DVP5982 does get the job done and is extremely affordable.

    I suppose a truly accurate rating would be 3 1/2 stars.
