 Brilliant 1080p upscaling DVD Player at a brilliant price December 15, 2008
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
I purchased this yesterday 14th Dec from Amazon Uk. Received today 15th Dec. Qucik and excellent service. HDMI cable not included. One connected the HDMI/1080p picture is amazing on a Philips LCD TV. Used Easylink which philips provide to link up various entertainment kits. The picture colours, contrast and sharpness is amazing.
A very small DVD Player that would fit on a glass wall bracket if needed to connect on the wall.
I recommend this to anyone who enjoys 1080p and High Definition picture quality.
Impressed with Amazon and the kit itself. Philips do provide quality. The remote control is quality too.
May purchase another one for the bedroom.
Brilliant for the price! November 22, 2008

The rather odd review giving this a low rating is quite out of place - Pixmania often supply European spec kit in my experience but usually give a plug adapter.
Bought from a UK company this will be a UK spec and it performs very, v-e-r-y well indeed. If you have an HD TV you'll need to buy an HDMI cable (don't waste money on a Curry's/ Comet con-job cable at 30.00+! Silly shops.). The up-scaling of ordinary DVDs is truly excellent and really makes the TV show what it can do. The previous nearly identical model received rave reviews and this one is its equal and more. Well done Philips.

I wrote this review to justify this item's overall rating, as its 1 star right now due to the guy below (or above me) whining about the place he ordered it from (Pixmania), and not getting a UK plug and ultimatley putting off prospective buyers.
Right, i'll make it quick.
The DVD player just works, as any should now days straight out of the box. Simple scart lead (not provided so get a spare) into your TV and power cord into wall. If you want a little extra quality through the HDMI connection, and you have a HDTV then use a HDMI cable (also not provided).
I havent used the upscaling feature yet so i cant comment but as with most, it wont be a big step up from DVD, for the true high def experience you need HD content. But for 63 i dont mind my DVDs being upscaled.
The DivX is great, i have a few films i have on my PC and i can now watch them on my TV anytime. Just copy the file onto a USB stick if its above 700mb and plug it into the players front port (usb 2.0 as well), and it plays smoothly off that (my usb stick is good quality, 1gb about 15 so i didnt notice any skipping, but could happen with cheaper drives). Or you can also just copy the file onto a blank CD using Windows copy to disc and it plays no prob on the player. You just navigate to the file using a folder tree system.
Overall 5 stars, did everything i wanted it too. Looks good, very slim. Simple to use interface menus, good price - recommended.
 plug and cable problematic October 26, 2008

Out of the box, if you have recently installed wiring or new safety adapters, you can't plug this in. It does not come with a fitted three pin plug, but with a continental two pin plug, and the adapter supplied does not even have a dummy earth pin - you will need to buy a continental adapter.
Second, The progressive scan will only activate when used with the digital coaxial cable output, so if your TV doesn't have the relevant input, this feature is useless. After being used to the progressive scan and upscaling to HD of the XBox, I found the picture through scart or analog cable to be extremely poor with heavy ghosting - even the menus were hard to read. If you connect using the HDMI output, the progressive scan feature is deactivated.
No cables are supplied - I spent approx 30 on cables and adapters just to plug it in to the power supply and into the TV.
The USB connection also proved to be useless, as it does not support MP3 players, and if you put files onto CD or USB stick, it does not support anything higher than Windows Media Player 9 files. (The current version is WMP 11).
My TV and hifi are both Phillips and I bought the brand specifically because of excellent equipment I had in the past and for compatability, but this player was a disappointment.
