DVD -R Media Warning, Upconversion?.......2007-12-26
I purchased this DVD player to hook up to a new 37" HDTV. I used the up-conversion feature but I didn't see a difference compared to my 7 year old DVD player (which I also hooked up to the HDTV) which was the whole reason I bought this in the first place.
The player will not read any DVD-R's that was burned on cheap DVD-R media (I get an "Unknown" error). I upgraded the firmware, no difference. Why my 7 year old Apex DVD player and my super-cheap Dynex portable DVD players can still read the DVD-R's but this player cannot is beyond me. It does read better quality DVD-R media (Sony for example).
Finally, the DVD tray does feel cheap and the tray does not eject all the way.
I figured I would see a marked improvement buying a better brand name up-converting DVD player compared to my old player but my old player works just as fine (or actually better considering my DVD-R collection is useless with the new player).
Plays everything.......2007-12-24
I have two of these. It plays everything I've ever thrown at it, with the exception of H.264 (mpeg-4) hi-def files. And, if you don't already know you need this capability, then you won't miss it.
It can also be made region-free, and has built-in PAL conversion, so those UK titles you've been eyeing will play on it just fine.
The best thing about it, though, is the USB port on the front. I bought an 8 GB memory stick, and can put movies and entire seasons of television shows on there and it will play them, with no time consuming pre-conversion needed.
All this for hardly any money. Heck, they're practically giving it away!
Pretty Good.......2007-12-22
The reason I only gave it 4 stars is because it is so SLOOOOW in opening up the tray, why that is, I have no idea.
But the quality of the movies on the TV screen are considerably better than a regular DVD player, I have others that I can compare them with.
About 98% of all the DVD's I play in this machine is ones I have burned myself and so far have only had one that it will not play correctly. Have another Phillips player that the same DVD would not play in, but the computer plays it perfectly, go figure.
But if you don't mind being more than normal patient in waiting to load the player, then this one so far for me has been very good. I've had it for nearly a year now and no problems of any kind.
Wow, amazing picture... goofy on-screen menu, oddly-shaped remote........2007-12-22
The set-up: This DVD player is hooked up to a Syntax Olevia LT32HVM 32" HD-Ready Flat-Panel LCD TV by an HDMI-to-DVI cable and coax (for digital audio to my Sony 5.1) It is controlled by a Logitech Harmony 688 Universal Remote Control (Black).
I was a little worried that up-conversion would not work being that my TV does not have HDMI and that converting it to DVI would negate the conversion. Well, if it does, I don't notice. The picture I see -- after fiddling with the "setup" menu for the DVD player -- is amazing. This unit replaced my Philips DVP642, and I can really see the difference in the video. I am running my up-conversion at 1080i, with the color settings at "standard."
The remote is a bit on the odd side. I know that all the remotes look the same and maybe Philips wanted to be different, but what's with the white top and wedge-like feel? It looks as though it belongs with a different unit altogether. The buttons are a bit slower to respond than my DVP642, but not by much.
Using this with my Logitech Harmony 688: I noticed that the new DVD player plugged in and worked in place of my old one without any changes having to be made to the 688. Sweet! One less hassle.
It plays Taiyo Yuden DVD-R (8x) and Verbatim DVD+R DL discs just fine. It also remembers where you left off from the last movie. I put in a disc, played it, took it out, played another and then put the first disc back in and it remembered where I left off. You also have the on-screen option (about 3 seconds) to start from the begining.
The on-screen menu for 'setup' is huge, blocky and reminds me of old, old Windows programs. Plus, the color management option is completely useless since you cannot see the screen while you change the options becuase the menu blocks the whole screen. You have to make changes on your TV or keep going back and forth between the screen and menu. Lame. But you do get lots of options on the menu, if you are into fine-tuning the DVD player's video and audio and TV setup.
Hooked up the HDMI-to-DVI cable and coax audio and both audio and video worked right out of the box -- didn't need to play with the setup menu. Some DVD players seem to need a bit of setup menu fiddling for certain configurations.
I did notice that if I chose the wrong resolution (i.e. 1080p) for my TV, it turned the screen blue and basically locked me out of seeing anything. I had to turn the unit off and back on in order for it to reset.
My player came with firmware 37.07.32.40, and when I updated it to 37.07.32.43 it fixed the "set losing resolution setting upon standby." See Philips website for details on upgrading your player. You'll need a CD-R to get the 2 files to the DVD player.
Overall, it is an amazing DVD player. Hero and LoTR look amazing. Now I just need an HDMI TV.

Product Description
The DVP-NS72HP single-disc DVD player offers 720p and 1080i upscaling through an HDMI connection (High Definition Multi Media Interface). HDMI allows the transfer of uncompressed digital audio and video signals to other HDMI equipped components, providing an uncompromised picture. It also features Precision Cinema Progressive technology, which delivers accurate and vivid images to the television. Unlike other DVD players that detect image changes at the Scan line level-Sony's Precision Cinema Progressive (PCP) system detects them at the Pixel level. This results in images closer to the original source data, because separate, optimized algorithms are used to handle the differing Pixel behavior. Precision Drive III mechanism is also included, which helps maximize the performance of DVD collections by reading data even on some physically "warped" discs. Other benefits include a 12bit/108MHz video DAC (digital to analog converter), and 24 bit/192KHz audio, providing high-quality video and audio processing for vivid images and crystal clear sound.
