Product Description
Be impressed with this Philips DVD player with HDMI digital video and audio connection. Step into another home entertainment arena as you immerse yourself with High Definition video (720p / 1080i/1080p). HDMI for simple AV connection: HDMI stands for High Definition Multimedia Interface. It is a direct digital connection that can carry digital HD video as well as digital multichannel audio. By eliminating the conversion to analog signals it delivers perfect picture and sound quality, completely free from noise. HDMI is fully backward-compatible with (Digital Video Interface) DVI.DivX Ultra Certified: DivX Ultra combines DivX playback with great features like integrated subtitles, multiple audio languages, multiple tracks and menus into one convenient file format.High definition JPEG playback: High definition JPEG playback lets you view your pictures on your television in resolutions as high as two megapixels. Now you can view your digital pictures in absolute clarity, without loss of quality or detail - and share them with friends and family in the comfort of your living room.Progressive Scan: 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.Hi-Speed USB 2.0 Link: The Universal Serial Bus or USB is a protocol standard that is conveniently used to link PCs, peripherals and consumer electronic equuipment. Hi-Speed USB devices have a data transfer rate of up to 480 Mbps - up from the 12 Mbps in original USB ones. With Hi-Speed USB 2.0 Link, all you have to do is plug in your USB device, select the movie, music or photo and play away.

 Problem prone junk November 30, 2008
Out of the box, this thing would usually get stuck within the first few minutes of DivX videos on the USB port. I've only had the unit about ninety days and now, it refuses to even play DVD's. Look at other options.
Ehh! i tried! November 30, 2008
got the player but it never turned on. tried everything then had to send it back the next day. BAD LUCK ME or BAD PLAYER? who knows!!
 not as awesome as XBMC, chokes on H.264 AVC high November 15, 2008

Reads acceptable well from high quality USB flash drives like Corsair and Lexar.
NOT a suitable replacement for an xbox with Xbox Media Center.
NOT a front end for NAS.
*** Will NOT play x264 / H.264 videos. ***
Upscaling is nice if one has high quality HDMI cables.
There are many bugs with the most current firmware related to playback of other than DVD video. Don't expect another firmware release. One will likely be invited to purchase the next hardware iteration.
Easy Region Free is a plus.
It is slow to complete power up. Slow to recognize no DVD in tray, then slow to decide to poll USB. Once high quality USB flash device detected no transfer rate hiccups. It is slow to eject the DVD drive. Stopping stand alone media files is VERY slow sometimes requiring mashing stop half a dozen times.
Of the other brands of set top stand alone media file players sporting USB ports we've tested this one was the least annoying.
If one requires MUCH better responsiveness and the ability to play 99% of available formats XBMC on Xbox360 is still the best choice.
Breaks gradually over the weeks... November 11, 2008
0 out of 2 found this review helpful
This is the worst DVD player I've ever encountered: I even gave it 2 chances. When the first one started breaking down after a few weeks, I went and exchanged it, hoping I just got a messed up one.
After a few weeks, the same thing started to happpen:
First, it goes to the wrong chapter sometimes. Then it goes on to freezing when loading disc. Then, it moved onto freezing on boot-up so everytime I wanted to turn it on, I had to unplug the power cord.
Anyone who gave this a 5 star review probably wrote the review within the first few weeks, where it was working great. But I'm not the only one, and I've been through 2 of these things already, I can tell you it will, GUARANTEED, it will BREAK within a few months. They should really put out a product recall on this thing.
No support for 5.1 audio on USB October 31, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
Every this is good as promised on the DVD player except for proper USB support. I would like to keep 5.1 audio on DivX movies. When I play the DivX file from USB, it plays it in Stereo mode. When I copy the same file on a DVD+RW, it plays with 5.1 audio.
I talked to Philips tech support about this and they have no clue.
Searched on net and didn't get clue either :-(
Except for this glitch, it is a great player.
