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

I have just received it from Amazon.com and tried all the codes I could found over the Internet. Unfortunately, none of them works and REGION ERR keeps on showing up. This new DVD player does not provide Preference as a choice.

I'd like to buy reviewer H.A.Emet a drink!! The box on the DVP5140 says very clearly that IT ONLY PLAYS REGION 1 DISCS. So does the manual. But reviewer H.A.Emet somehow found the proper commands to reset the unit to all region (region 0). So, anyone who's interested in this player for playing international discs should jump at the chance. JUST BE SURE YOU WRITE DOWN THE INSTRUCTIONS within the above mentioned review. Incredibly..it does not appear in the manual anywhere (at least I could not find it). CHEERS TO REVIEWER Emet!!!!!!!!!

This is a great little DVD player! Once I entered the code to make it region free (Region 0), it plays all my Region 2 and Region 4 DVD's without any problem. The picture quality is good. The only thing Philips could have done was put in a rev/fwd feature, but other than that I could not be more satisfied! I bought two of them becasue the price was so low!!

I bought this DVD player in order to watch DiVx material I downloaded from the internet, as well as to see some Italian movies that a friend of mine in Rome had burned for me. What an awesome player! I followed the instructions posted by another Amazon.com reviewer and was able to make the player code-free in a matter of minutes. That's a big plus, as my wife and I travel overseas quite frequently and will enjoy having a DVD player that plays all regions. But what really astounded me about this very low-cost player is its non-low-cost video resolution. It's as good as any stand-alone DVD player I've ever used. The sound quality is also exceptional, and I haven't even hooked up the coaxial cable yet. Lastly, I haven't had any of the issues with the remote that some others have. I simply point it at the player and it works, period. Ditto with using the STOP button to open/close the tray. Amazing what happens when you read the instructions. I love this player!

I think the DVD player is great. I bought it several months ago because the one in our family room kept skipping. When I got it, I was impressed by how light it is and it does everything that I need it to. You can't beat the price. I got it on Amazon for $50. So when my DVD player in my media room quit working I bought another Philips DVP5140 Multiformat DVD Player. I can't believe you can buy such a good quality dvd player for only $50. I would highly recommend it.
