Philips All Multi Region Zone Free PAL/NTSC DVD Player HDMI 1080p (Black)

Purchased an LG multi region player first and it didn’t work on a disc from another region, this plays disc from another region with no issues .

Item seems to work as advertised with non-US disks. I will note that Amazon's packaging was a bit lazy, they should have used a box for this (as with any other electronics). Fortunately the item wasn't damaged in shipping. The dimensions listed on the seller's page seemed wildly incorrect with a listed height of 7", I am assuming these are for the box it comes in. The dimensions of the actual product are a much more reasonable 7 5/8" x 8 3/4" x 2", Depth x Length x Height. Nice and compact. For the huge nerds like me who plan to route the HDMI out through a 4K upscaler, be advised that the player outputs HDCP.

Bought it for my neighbor to view a German film. It played up until 2 chapters before the end. I suspected the film was bad. She had nothing else to watch so the machine sat for about 30 days. Found a friend that had a machine that played PAL films. It played fine to the end on his. Immediately when back to her house to try an standard American film. The machine said "Improperly Formatted Film". That film played fine on my DVD player. Missed the return window with Amazon by 1 day. Philips doesn't support this unit in the USA. After much frustration with Philips website and then being told to call Singapore, I contacted Amazon. They were great in allowing me to return the unit, a one time exception. I really think Amazon should stop the sale of this unit to an American audience.

Comes with Europe 2 prong to USA electrical adapter. Used on multiple DVDs with region codes of 0,1, 2, 4 and All Region. Works great. No issues.

This works OK, and did the job for me in terms of playing DVDs from outside the USA. It is acceptable for the price, which is quite low. the three issues I had were: 1) It does not display any time line when you pause the DVD so you have no idea how much time left, or what timestamp you want to come back to if you want to stop a movie and come back to finish it a different day; 2) It did not come with an HDMI cable, as advertised, so I had to go get another one; 3) I did have a DVD that had trouble playing, but I can't know for sure if it's the DVD itself, or the player. It's probably the DVD that was scratched since other DVDs played normally.

Exactly as described: it plays every different region DVD & CD that I've tried. The remote is large enough to hold & press comfortably but uncluttered & intuitive in design. 2 minor quirks: the timer starts again at 0:00 every time the chapter changes while playing DVDs, & if the player's left on pause too long it defaults to the Philips opening screen which is fine. But then, when playback begins again, it automatically adds subtitles. A bit quirky but easy to fix: press the 'subtitles' button on the lower-left of the remote until 'off' appears & you're set. Yes. it has a foreign plug. Yes, an adapter that works perfectly is included. So what? Whichever deck you choose, absolutely avoid the Panasonic DVD-S700 HDMI 1080P Up-Converting All Multi Region Code Zone Free PAL/NTSC DVD Player.

I'd been scanning reviews of various region free players for a month and was a little worried because some people clearly got lemons. Thankfully, I was not one of them. This player played my PAL DVDs and my NTSC DVDs. I live in the U.S. and the player came with a two-prong adapter for U.S. outlets. I attached it with the HDMI cable to two different TVs and the color, picture and sound were great. It is extremely lightweight and the remote control is small but useable. It suits my needs perfectly. When I set it up on a counter, it did make a rattling noise. I positioned the player closer to the wall so that one edge was touching and the noise went away. I now have it installed in a media cabinet and there is no vibration or rattling noise. In any event, I am very happy with my purchase and am hopefully one step closer to becoming fluent in another language.

Received a different model #. Does not play ALL. Plays PAL DVD's but not all US pre-recorded DVD's. Complained to seller who was awesome and sent a replacement, which unfortunately is the same model # as first and does the same thing. Kept as $ value is good and basically wanted for PAL, but lost the convenience of ALL being playable.

parfait-haure performance

Buena compra

間違ったPHILIPSのプレーヤーが届きました。しかも壊れてまして…返品、返金済です…。 ※ 追記 ※ 他の店でちょっと違う型番だが購入しました。 コレにカラオケ機能が追加されたPHILIPSのDVDプレーヤーですが、基本的には同じものです。 ソニーのDVDプレーヤーとは違い音は比較的におとなしい。画面も解り易い。ソニーのよりもシンプルです。 問題なのは、正常でもまるで壊れているようになってます。 電源をoffからonにするとphilipsのロゴがモノクロで乱れて映る。 そこで適当なDVDソフトを読みこませるときちんと動作します。 DVD、CD、MP3等ちゃんと使えます。 この勘違いする最初の画面はなんとかならないかと思う。 ちなみにPCからファームウェアのDLが出来ます。 私のは初めから最新のファームウェアだから仕方ないですが… どうでもいいDVDソフトを１枚用意して、電源を入れてそのソフトを読ませて、セットアップが出来ますね。 壊れているのと、そうでないのとがあります。 もう１つ変わっているのが電源が入っている時はランプが消えていて、電源を切ると赤ランプが付く。普通は逆だよねー。（笑） ん～～悩ましい限りです。

The Remote is very handy
