Philips DVP5140 Multiformat DVD Player with DivX, MP3, Windows Media Support

I was easily able to change this DVD player over to Region-Free. It works great, especially for the price! Highly recommended!

This might be a fine DVD player. I wouldn't know; I never got it out of the box. The reason for the low rating is the misinformation on the Amazon.com page, which led me to believe the model DVP5140 is a multi-region player. But as soon as it arrived, I saw a big statement on the box saying this was for Region 1 (USA) DVDs only. The whole reason I bought it was to play DVDs that are only available in Region 2 (UK) formatting. So I sent it back. Amazon customer service couldn't find a DVD player that fit what I need. So now I'm just down one major gift idea.

A low cost, but not the lowest. It doesn't play WMA files at all as specified, no matter what bit rate is. Dispointed. Othe functions tested seem OK. I don't recommend this product>

great region free dvd player, easy to use, better than the my sony dvd player, i can play all my region 2,4 movies with no problem.

I ordered a multi region DVD so I can view all my films from Denmark. They have offered that I could return it but I just want the right DVD. I also discarded the package it was sent in. The Philips CVP5140 is supposed to be multi region but they say that the model I received was missing 3 digits after the model name. And that the model I wanted had different digits after the model number. I am just so tired of this that I am probably never going to order ANY electronics from Amazon out of fear that there is some invisible digits following the model number and therefor will not work. I have been a loyal customer for many years but feel that since Amazon involve vendors that are not living up to what they promise, I have to go back to local stores where I test the merchandise and check the DVDs upon purchase.
Sincerely
