Digital camera reviews of Philips DVP3140 Compact DVD Player
Digital camera Review: Basic, all format player
Summary: 3 Stars
Great bang for the buck. Can play virtually any format of DVDs (not including new formats like Blue Ray, etc...) The tray to load DVDs seem flimsy.Digital camera Review: Cheap, small and multi region!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this machine for 1 reason - I wanted something I could make multi region (I have a lot of DVD's from the UK and I just don't think it's fair.....blah, blah.). There is a really easy hack on the internet for this machine, and it works.
I'm running the machine on a 32 inch standard def "tube", so I can't advise on how it'll look in Hi-Def, but it looks good enough on "cheapo" TV! Startup time is quick and I've never had a problem with any discs not playing, so as a player it works for me (includes discs I've burned on the PC, but not DIV-X or anything out of the ordinary).
It is very small and light (bordering on flimsy) - but some might see that as a positive too!
Digital camera Review: Compact DVD Player
Summary: 5 Stars
This compact DVD player packs all the features anyone could need in a DVD player - at a great price!
I have not have the opportunity to explore all the features of this player, but from what I have seen so far - I have been quite pleased.
Digital camera Review: Could not get it to work
Summary: 1 Stars
Maybe it is just me, but I could not get a DVD to play on this. I set it up per the instructions on a TV with built-in VHS player (is this the problem?)
Although the DVD player indicated it was running, the TV picture stayed on the selected local TV channel.
Also, the DVD door opens only with some manual (ie fingers) maneuvering; the button to open/close does not work smoothly.
Maybe this would work on another set. Anyway, I am willing to try again if anyone has a good suggestion. I assumed that it would play a region 1 DVD, and that it is not set to something else.
Digital camera Review: DVD Player
Summary: 5 Stars
This player is simple to install and works very well. Not too many features but it does the job.
