Product description

Philips Upconversion DVD Player

Features

HDMI up-conversion: The highest available high-definition signal format contains 1080 vertical pixels and 1920 horizontal pixels. This player uses up-conversion so your standard DVDs will display near-HD quality images on your 1080p-compatible TV.

Progressive scan: 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.

HDMI JPEG: Even your digital photos get upgraded to 1080p upconversion with the DVP5982. Thanks to HDMI JPEG, you get to see images in true high-definition resolution.

DivX Ultra certified: DivX Ultra brings DivX up a notch by giving you several more options to choose from when watching DivX video.Take advantage of snazzy features like integrated subtitles, multiple audio languages, multiple tracks and menus.

Dolby Digital: Both surround formats take a properly encoded DVD source, and assign a channel of sound to a respective speaker in a 5.1 home theater system. You get multi-layered audio that draws you further into your movie.

Smart Sound: Smart Sound provides the optimal sound settings for ultra bass, bass, treble and balance so that you can get the best listening experience.

Multiple format playback: This device is compatible with DVD, DVD+R/RW, DVD-R/RW, VCD, SVCD, CD, CD-R/RW, DivX, MP3, WMA, and JPEG formats.

USB connectivity: Simply plug your USB device into the port on this DVD system. Your digital music and photos will be played directly from the device. You can listen to music files, watch WMA movie clips, or view pictures in a slide show. Now you can share your favorite moments with family and friends.

•1080p HDMI upconverts to high definition for sharper images

•Plays DivX, MP3, WMA and JPEG digital camera photos
•DivX Certified for standard playback of DivX videos

Easy to use
•USB Direct plays photos and music from USB flash drives 

192kHz/24 bit audio DAC
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.

High definition JPEG playback
With High Resolution JPEG playback, you can show up to 2 Megapixel resolution on your Flat TV (FTV). Now you can view your digital pictures in their true resolution, without loss of quality or details.

Progressive Scan
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.

True high-def 1080p HDMI
1080p HDMI upconversion delivers images that are crystal clear. Movies in standard definition can now be enjoyed in true high definition resolution - ensuring more details and more true-to-life pictures. Progressive Scan (represented by "p" in "1080p') eliminates the line structure prevalent on TV screens, again ensuring relentlessly sharp images. To top it off, HDMI makes a direct digital connection that can carry uncompressed digital HD video as well as digital multichannel audio, without conversions to analog - delivering perfect picture and sound quality, completely free from noise.

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

Plays it all
Play virtually any media format you want - whether they be DivX, MP3s, WMA or JPEGs. Experience the unbeatable convenience of great playability, and the luxury of sharing media files on your TV or home theater system - in the comfort of your living room.

Good player, but DivX playback is bad
Reviewer: DrDitto from Madison, WI on Jun 8, 2007
126 out of 186 found this review helpful

The DivX playback stutters. I had to return and get a Pioneer instead. My new Pioneer plays the same DivX files without stuttering. A shame...both are supposed to be DivX Ultra certified.

Otherwise a very nice DVD player if you don't care about playing DivX files.

good divx player for the price: 49.00
Reviewer: Happ56 from Tampa, Florida on Aug 16, 2008

Having used this player for a month now I can not find any fault other then the
disc tray is very shallow and you have to be careful when inserting a disc.
This player makes my so-so quality divx stuff look great with its upconversion.
Read the manual, burn your divx files at no more then 4X speed and use quality media, you cant go wrong.

For the price - an excellent product
Reviewer: Seren from Panama City on Jul 28, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

While waiting for the price of Blue-Ray players to come down, I wanted a quality inexpensive DVD upconverter to play my collection of DVD's and bought this player based on the very good reviews it received. After a couple weeks of use, I am very happy with the results so far. Although I don't get any high-end 'extras', it is a simple machine that does what it is suppose to do - upconvert DVD for HD-TVs. Easy to setup, excellent picture quality, good sound, what more can you ask for, for something so inexpensive?
