Review on πŸ“€ Philips Multi Region DVD Player: Zone Free PAL/NTSC, HDMI 1080p (Black) - High-Performance Entertainment! by Desmin Dickerson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent value for money and quality.

Exactly as described, plays DVDs and CDs from all regions I tested. The remote control is large enough to comfortably hold and press, but at the same time is concise and intuitive in design. 2 small features: the timer starts at 0:00 every time a chapter is changed during DVD playback, and if the player pauses too long, it defaults to the Philips home screen, which is ok. But when playback then starts again, subtitles are added automatically. A little weird, but easy to fix: press the "Subtitles" button in the lower left corner of the remote until it says "Off" and you're done. Yes. he has a strange plug. Yes, a great working adapter is included. So what? Whichever deck you choose, categorically avoid the Panasonic DVD-S700 HDMI 1080P upconverted DVD player for all PAL/NTSC code zones without code areas.

Pros
  • Plays CD, (S)VCD, DVD, DVD+- R/RW, DivX, MP3, WMA, JPEG
Cons
  • Available in white only
