 DVP5140 multiformat deceptive November 17, 2008
I bought the DVP5140 to play UK (format2) disks, since it specifies multiformat. BUT, when bought here in the US, it will only play US (format1), and Philips tech. support won't help. They say it cannot be changed- any attempt would void the warranty, etc. They want to sell you a "Multi-region Code Free DVD player" that plays all formats, for twice the price. The review by H. A. Emet (Amazon, 7/27/08) explains that DVP5140's are the same worldwide, and all happily play all formats. Changing is easy, using the remote.
The machine is great, and it now does what I need.

Easy to set up, easy to use November 12, 2008
I purchased this dvd player as an emergency replacement, and so far have not regretted it! It was easy to set up, and is easy to use. I had it playing my region 2 disks in a matter of moments. The drawer is a little slow in opening, but that alone is no reason to send it back. Just wait the 30 seconds and it'll open!
My only complaint was in the shipping. I ordered it from Target through Amazon (as they had the better price). I received it ahead of schedule, but was dismayed when I saw the packaging. Or should I say lack of packaging? All they did was slap the shipping information on the dvd box itself and sent it along it's way. I would have preferred it to arrive within another box, masking what the product was. They way it was shipped just screams "Steal Me!"
But, as that's my only complaint, and not necessarily Amazon's fault, I give it four stars!
Good DVD player for multi region DVD viewing November 11, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is a good DVD player. Once you program it to play all regions, it works quite well. An earlier reviewer has posted the instructions on how to program it. I have only played Region 1 and Region 2 on this DVD player so I don't know how it works with other regions. The only real downside to the DVD player is that the remote doesn't have an eject/open button or volume control. Overall though, it is a quality DVD player that plays DVDs from multiple regions.
Philips DVD player a hit with my hubby November 3, 2008
I bought this multiformat DVD player as a gift for my husband since our DVD player recently died. He loved that it was so easy to set up and it also plays audio CDs and MP3s. Great value!
omg, it really plays all regions! October 31, 2008
I didn't think it would work for me, but it does and now I can watch DVDs encoded to any region. I like to watch movies dubbed in foreign languages, so this is awesome! Thank you!
