very good player but what kind of remote is that?

Player reads every cd,dvd,divx without any problem and that's great! but sometimes divx subtitles doesn't appear, i think its a codec problem.the worst thing of 5140 is the remote control.you should be directly in front of the player's sensor to use...

plays every DVD I have ever tried. ”

I am a movie buff. I say that I easily have over 2500 DVDs. I just recently started collecting blurays too. But Blu-ray players are another review. This Philips DVD player is excellent. It plays every single DVD that I have ever tried to play without a...

Lowest priced DivX Ultra player!

This replaced a two year old Magnavox which had no HDMI output. Great sound and picture quality for the price. The performance is on par with more expensive players. Read the manual as there are many options for optimizing performance. The only con is...

Easy to Use, Great Design

Very Nice DVD player, Plus it plays DIVX

I've had mine for over a year now. While I don't watch a lot of DVD's or DIVX I have had no problems so far. The DIVX player works very well, but the search/fast forward feature while doing so is not the greatest. For the money I am very pleased with...

Not long-lived

I've had this dvd player about 16 months now. I was very impressed with the picture quality and ease of use when it worked, but now it randomly opens, stops and plays on its own. I can't watch movies on it anymore since it opens by itself every 30...
