Digital camera reviews of Philips DVP5140 Multiformat DVD Player with DivX, MP3, Windows Media Support

Digital camera Review: I'm not a complicated man. I just want a DVD player that doesn't suck.
Summary: 1 Stars

I hate this DVD player. I bought it, because I wanted something that wouldn't break down or kidnap my discs. Now I know I'd rather have a different machine, even one that stops working after a couple of days.

The stupid thing is just too annoying. It doesn't have fast forward or rewind, and it forgets where you left off if you turn off the machine. It's also super slow to start up and to load discs.

I can't wait for it to screw up just once so I can justify buying another player. However, it keeps working day after day. This thing will never die.

I'm thinking of buying another tv to hook it up to, so I can get myself a better one, but my girlfriend says that's even more wasteful than having two DVD players.

Now I'm thinking maybe I'll have a kid so he/she/he-she can have it. It can be like a punishment for whenever he/she/it does anything wrong, like having sex before marriage or dancing. That's not wasteful, right?

Kids are like investments. You feed and water them for a couple of years, and then you either make them start working the land, or you sell them for big profits.

What?! This DVD player has clearly made me insane. Don't buy it.

Summary of Philips DVP5140 Multiformat DVD Player with DivX, MP3, Windows Media Support

Philips DVP5140 Progressive Scan DVD Player, can play CD-R/W, DivX, DVD, DVD+R/W, DVD-R/W DVD-Video, MP3, MPEG4, Picture CDs, VCD, and SVCD. That's right, all of this in one small package for an incredibly reasonable price. All while delivering quality picture and audio performance. Component video output lets you connect this DVD player to your high-end home television set to optimize viewing quality.
192KHz sampling enables you to have an accurate representation of the original sound curves. Together with a 24-bit resolution, more information is captured from the original analogue sound wave form, giving a much richer audio reproduction.

Multi-format playability allows you to play most disc formats for maximum disc compatibility and listening pleasure.

12-bit Video DAC is a superior Digital-to-Analogue-Converter that preserves every detail of the authentic picture quality. It shows subtle shades and smoother graduation of colors, resulting in a more vibrant and natural picture. The limitation of the usual 10bit DAC become in particular apparent while using large screens and projectors.

The attractive enclosure has a very low profile.

DivX Ultra combines DivX playback with great features like integrated subtitles, multiple audio languages, multiple tracks and menus into one convenient file format.

Multi-format playability allows you to play most disc formats for maximum disc compatibility and viewing pleasure.

Picture CD is a CD-R or CD-RW disc on which you can store your MP3 and digital pictures. When inserting a Picture CD in the DVD player, a screen menu will pop up, showing your JPEG's and/or MP3 files on the disc. Just select the music and pictures files you wish to enjoy and press play or OK. You can watch your pictures on TV with your music playing simultaneously.

Progressive Scan doubles the vertical resolution of the image resulting in a noticeably sharper picture. Instead of sending a field comprising the odd lines to the screen first, followed by the field with the even lines, both fields are written at one time. A full image is created instantaneously, using the maximum resolution. At such a speed, your eye perceives a sharper picture with no line structure.

Other standard features include:
  • 192kHz/24-bit audio DAC delivers high-quality audio.
  • 12-bit/ 108Mhz video DAC for sharp image with natural colors.
  • Ultra-slim design.
