nice! I wonder if it comes with a remote and manual..etc..

anyone know what philips definition of factory renewed means?

 

[Pabster]

For $36 you can't go wrong.

This is a KILLER player. Nice deal OP!

Thanks, Ordered one. Hopefully it is as good as the retail one I have owned for quite a while now. No real complaints on that one. It's a bit quirky sometimes with Xvid in that the colors come out kind of funky at first sometimes. Just hit Menu a couple times and that fixes it right up. I love the NTSC/PAL conversion too.

I dont know what this company's reputation on their refurbed products but man, its a really good price but I would rather buy new with a full warranty...good luck its a great player

 

[isekii]

it's 20 bucks more for a brand new one at ECOST

 

[chinkgai]

i'd rather buy two of these for the same

 

[chinkgai]

Stupid question, can you play divx/xvid movies from a dvd?

 

[chinkgai]

yes

 

[tkenn1s]

Thanks OP! Been wanting one of these.. You just can't go wrong at $38... (+tax)

 

[zinkpig]

wow thats a great price ! doubt they really refurbish these probably just flash the firmware.

 

[chuckywang]

Can this play Chinese DVDs?

I see Region 1 in there. How would I go upon playing my non-us releases in it? I barely have enough us dvds, it would be mostly imports.

DAMN!@!

I went out to get some beverages at the store, come back to order it and it is out of stock!!

UPDATE**

I was so upset about not getting in on this, and having some divx that I would like to play, I went to my local store and got this dvd player for $62. I tested it out extensively for the last hour and have determined that I either had too high hopes for it, or I got a defective player.

The one I purchased played some dvd's fine... color was perfect using component cables. Other dvd's were slightly blurry. DiVx was a joke for the most part. I tried about 10 different discs, different encoding, different media... only one of them played well enough for me to sit down and watch it..the others looked like they were beta quality or below.

this thing will play anything. i have it. it rules. end thread.

Open tray, press 7 8 9 ok 0 (or whichever region you want to set), close tray.

I have one of these players too. Plays raw mpeg and avi files too. The SVideo gives a good video Playback.

I read on VCDhelp.com how to set the region code to 0. I think the last post gave instructions.

Something Else i recall reading on VCDhelp.com was alot people complaining about thier Players not reading any disc anymore. Perhaps these are all those that were sent back when they first came out.

What do you think?

DIVX 6 is out and I would look for something that supports 6 instead despite it being a great price. You may regret it as more titles show up in the new format.

 

[horatiub]

I'm wondering if they're gonna re-stock it

 

[DurocShark]

Shows instock for me...

 

[Pabster]

After the AT effect, they probably located a few more pallets of them in a warehouse somewhere

 

[horatiub]

still says out of stock. So, I'm not sure where you see it in stock. If you go to check out, it will say out of stock

 

[mrklaw.old]

Does this play DVD-R or DVD-RW? It looked like it only does DVD+R/RW on the Philips webpage.
