I bought the DVP5140 to play UK (format2) disks, since it specifies multiformat. J.R. The review by H.
support won't help. Emet (Amazon, 7/27/08) explains that DVP5140's are the same worldwide, and all happily play all formats. BUT, when bought here in the US, it will only play US (format1), and Philips tech.
A. 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.
Changing is easy, using the remote.The machine is great, and it now does what I need. Parkes
I purchased this dvd player as an emergency replacement, and so far have not regretted it. I would have preferred it to arrive within another box, masking what the product was. I ordered it from Target through Amazon (as they had the better price).
I had it playing my region 2 disks in a matter of moments. Or should I say lack of packaging. It was easy to set up, and is easy to use.
I received it ahead of schedule, but was dismayed when I saw the packaging. 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.
All they did was slap the shipping information on the dvd box itself and sent it along it's way. 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.
This is a good DVD player. I have only played Region 1 and Region 2 on this DVD player so I don't know how it works with other regions. Once you program it to play all regions, it works quite well. An earlier reviewer has posted the instructions on how to program it. 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.
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.
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.
