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

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.

Good item

After ~1y of light use (1-2 DVD per month) the videos started to become more and more pixelated and some scenes got skipped altogether.Now I am seeing this with every DVD used on this device, to the point where it's painful to watch them.It might be because this device came with a European style power cord, with the vendor providing an adaptor to make it fit USA plugs. In other words, this device is not meant to be used in the USA but in Europe.

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.

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.

Funciona muy bien con CD y DVD.

I liked it because it is DivX compatible. I used to work on cruise ships and I ripped all of my DVDs into AVI files so that I could carry 1/6 the weight onto my ship. But you need a player that's compatible and this one is. It plays either standard DVDs or Avi's very well.

Certainly true with this dvd player. While the price was low so are the qualities of the product. Unlike better players there is no information on screen or on the player to indicate the time remaining on a dvd. So far I haven’t been able to stop in the middle of a dvd, shut the player off and return to where I left off. The disk automatically resets to the very beginning of every DVD. It’s a bit annoying but that what happens when you buy cheap! This one won’t last long with me!
