Digital camera reviews of Philips- DVP5990 - Multi Region DVD Player 1080P - upscaling
Digital camera Review: 6-12 month typical Lifespan
Summary: 1 Stars
I have had 3 of these units over the past couple of years. They are attractive as a low-priced, second DVD player for multi-region DVDs (we use them for Japanese DVDs).
But they fail after 6-12 months. One stopped working altogether. On another the color quality degraded dramatically. All 3 had poor IR reception, so that I could not use my universal remote with them and had be very close to the unit for the standard remote to even work.
This time I opted for a more expensive, and hopefully more reliable, Pioneer model.
Net, not worth the hassle.
