Product Description
Be impressed with this Philips DVD player with HDMI digital video and audio connection. Step into another home entertainment arena as you immerse yourself with High Definition video (720p / 1080i/1080p). HDMI for simple AV connection: HDMI stands for High Definition Multimedia Interface. It is a direct digital connection that can carry digital HD video as well as digital multichannel audio. By eliminating the conversion to analog signals it delivers perfect picture and sound quality, completely free from noise. HDMI is fully backward-compatible with (Digital Video Interface) DVI. DivX Ultra Certified: DivX Ultra combines DivX playback with great features like integrated subtitles, multiple audio languages, multiple tracks and menus into one convenient file format. High definition JPEG playback: High definition JPEG playback lets you view your pictures on your television in resolutions as high as two megapixels. Now you can view your digital pictures in absolute clarity, without loss of quality or detail - and share them with friends and family in the comfort of your living room. Progressive Scan: Progressive Scan doubles the vertical resolution of the image resulting in a noticeably sharper picture. Instead of sending a field comprising the odd lines to the screen first, followed by the field with the even lines, both fields are written at one time. A full image is created instantaneously, using the maximum resolution. At such a speed, your eye perceives a sharper picture with no line structure. Hi-Speed USB 2.0 Link: The Universal Serial Bus or USB is a protocol standard that is conveniently used to link PCs, peripherals and consumer electronic equuipment. Hi-Speed USB devices have a data transfer rate of up to 480 Mbps - up from the 12 Mbps in original USB ones. With Hi-Speed USB 2.0 Link, all you have to do is plug in your USB device, select the movie, music or photo and play away.

 Was dead after one week... September 27, 2008

That player is very nice, but it stopped to work after one week. First it lost one of the color in output signal and later it was dead completely. My friend have similar problem with the same model. His player lost one of the color on component output but still works great on HDMI output. But for how long?
Philips customer support center made a replacement for me on warranty but they send me DVP5982 instead of DVP5992 because my model was out of stock...
 Good upconversion but bad disk operation September 26, 2008

I bought this Phillips DVP5992/37 upconvert DVD player from Amazon 3 days ago after reading all those great reviews but now I am disappointed.
It's a good DVD player to upcovert DVDs to 1080P when it works, however, the player is having frequent troubles reading VCDs and DVDs. It may successfully read and play once in while and next time it may get stuck on "Loading". Once this happens, both the remote control and the player's control buttons will completely cease to function. You can neither open the disc tray nor power it off. The only way to wake it up is by unplugging and then plugging back the power cord, and wait for several minutes. I have already upgraded the firmware to version 31 and removed region restriction but in vain.
Another disappointment is that it plays MP3 files but can't play avi video taken with my Canon digital camera. I copied the videos onto a USB flash drive but this DVD player can't support the video codec and only plays the sound tracks of the videos.
I am returning it for an exchange or refund.
 Works as Described September 18, 2008

The Philips DVP5992/37 works exactly as it is intended to work. Not a feature more, not a feature less. Overall it works as described in the product listing.
Pros: Lightweight unit, 1080p Upscaling Resolution with absolutely NO ghosting effects of image. Region free DVD playback with the use of a simple code found on the internet. USB 2.0 front port. HDMI jack on the rear. Low power consumption. Quiet DVD drive. Unit runs cool without needing loud fans to keep the internal temp in check.
Cons: The on-screen menu leaves something more to desire. The file browser is alil cheaply programmed. Inital start-up time from standby is 10 seconds. The remote doesn't quiet offer too many buttons, but is a upgrade over the Philips DVP5982 remote. No television tuner.
Bottom Line: Full NTSC/ATSC Television support. 1080P upscale display resolution of DVDs??? Sweet!!! Good cheap fun all for less than $100 including a HDMI cable in that cost!
Thank you Philips & Amazon for this product.
Overall Rating: 5/5 Stars

Mine couldn't play a DVD to save it's life. That's the prob with not going to local Best Buy/Circuit City. Was this thing not tested at the factory?
Now I have to pay for return shipping!!

Plays all formats. The most important is that this one has USB 2.0! Can even play HD movies from the memory stick of external hard drive. Kudos to Philips!
