Customer Reviews:
- Excellent Product: Great Price!!! Great Picture!!! Great sound!!! USB port!!!
It's not a Blue-ray quality of course but you are paying less than $80.
The best: The USB port. I plugged in my external hard drive with tons of music, TV series, Music Videos and it works perfect!!!
- Most reliable brand on the market: I've owned a number of PHILLIPS brand DVD units over the years, only upgrading to get new features. They play almost every disk imaginable, have a streamline design, and except for a bit of a learning curve with the remotes, are very easy to use.
The DVP5960 is my latest addition, purchased for the novelty of playing high-quality MP4 videos on an SD card reader through the USB port. This is remarkable, and the remote even works to start, stop, pause movies, and navigate the SD card.
Others have attested to the quality of the HDMI, I've not yet graduated to HD viewing, I'm usually pretty happy if I can just see and hear the picture.
Anyone in the market to replace their DVD unit would find terrific quality, versatility and value in the DVP5960. - Failed right out of the box: I was excited to find a refurbished model at a good price (from Amazon's Warehouse Deals).
But it wasn't refurbished enough, apparently.
Right out of the box, it failed to play even brand-new DVDs, displaying messages like "Root" and "Stop," or freezing after playing just a few seconds of the lead track or menu page.
In the first of two phone calls to Philips, I reached a person who held out the possibility of a "rapid exchange" (they'd send me a replacement and I'd then send back the defective unit), but only if I first faxed over registration info. I did that, called back the next day and was told I'd have to return the unit at my expense and wait. (So I'm not a fan of Philips customer service at this point. Too bad, because I liked the USB input feature -- which DID seem to work, although the interface was clunky.)
I chose instead to return the unit to Amazon, at no additional charge to me. But I still need a DVD player. - must have: Excellent product for price and quality! Installation was very easy. I do not use the usb yet, but dvd&divX are playing very good.
