Product Description: Philips DVP5140 Progressive Scan DVD Player, can play CD-R/W, DivX, DVD, DVD+R/W, DVD-R/W DVD-Video, MP3, MPEG4, Picture CDs, VCD, and SVCD. That's right, all of this in one small package for an incredibly reasonable price. All while delivering quality picture and audio performance. Component video output lets you connect this DVD player to your high-end home television set to optimize viewing quality.
From the Manufacturer: 192KHz sampling enables you to have an accurate representation of the original sound curves. Together with a 24-bit resolution, more information is captured from the original analogue sound wave form, giving a much richer audio reproduction.
Multi-format playability allows you to play most disc formats for maximum disc compatibility and listening pleasure.
12-bit Video DAC is a superior Digital-to-Analogue-Converter that preserves every detail of the authentic picture quality. It shows subtle shades and smoother graduation of colors, resulting in a more vibrant and natural picture. The limitation of the usual 10bit DAC become in particular apparent while using large screens and projectors.
The attractive enclosure has a very low profile.
DivX Ultra combines DivX playback with great features like integrated subtitles, multiple audio languages, multiple tracks and menus into one convenient file format.
Multi-format playability allows you to play most disc formats for maximum disc compatibility and viewing pleasure.
Picture CD is a CD-R or CD-RW disc on which you can store your MP3 and digital pictures. When inserting a Picture CD in the DVD player, a screen menu will pop up, showing your JPEG's and/or MP3 files on the disc. Just select the music and pictures files you wish to enjoy and press play or OK. You can watch your pictures on TV with your music playing simultaneously.
Progressive Scan doubles the vertical resolution of the image resulting in a noticeably sharper picture. Instead of sending a field comprising the odd lines to the screen first, followed by the field with the even lines, both fields are written at one time. A full image is created instantaneously, using the maximum resolution. At such a speed, your eye perceives a sharper picture with no line structure.
Multi Regional DVD Player First of all, I love the slim line look and light weight feel to this DVD player. I haven't had the chance yet, to play any DVD's other than NSTC, so I haven't tested it for PAL DVD's which is the reason I purchased this player. Reading the helpful hints and coding to use to enable this player to play all regions will help a great deal when my PAL DVD's arrive from England. It is becoming a bit more difficult to find multiregional players, and this was a great deal for the price.
The trick works! Yes, the trick by H.A. Emet does work. I can see all of my Japanese DVD now:) If you coulsn't get it work, you really need to try it again! Thanks H. A. Emet.
Great unit like everything Phillips does...
Plays PAL discs, plays discs from any region, plays my discs full of AVI files (I rip my TV season sets, put an entire season on a DL-DVD).
I have no idea what "P. Ho"'s problem is... the region change code works great. Time was when Phillips *shipped* their units set to region 0, but no longer.
Code Free Hack No Longer Works! Sigh... I have just received it from Amazon.com and tried all the codes I could found over the Internet. Unfortunately, none of them works and REGION ERR keeps on showing up. This new DVD player does not provide Preference as a choice.
REGION CODE WARNING! great player!! I'd like to buy reviewer H.A.Emet a drink!! The box on the DVP5140 says very clearly that IT ONLY PLAYS REGION 1 DISCS. So does the manual. But reviewer H.A.Emet somehow found the proper commands to reset the unit to all region (region 0). So, anyone who's interested in this player for playing international discs should jump at the chance. JUST BE SURE YOU WRITE DOWN THE INSTRUCTIONS within the above mentioned review. Incredibly..it does not appear in the manual anywhere (at least I could not find it). CHEERS TO REVIEWER Emet!!!!!!!!!
