It looks as cheap as it is, doesn't play all DVD's and the remote NEVER worked. we called the 800# provided by Amazon and were told the warranty doesn't cover the remote, so we had to purchase a new one for $20.04 which was not in stock and we were told it will take 3 to 4 weeks for delivery.

I've gone through 4 DVD players in the past few years because they get left on by accident and once the movie is over and goes back to the menu, the motor continues to spin the disc, the laser continues to read the disc and one of the two burn out or start to wear out and suddenly your movies start skipping or freezing. No problem with the Phillips unit. If its not playing the movie it will go into standby mode after 15 minutes.

The Philips DVP3960 failed to playing my DVD+ burned media (TDK), displaying the message "NO DISC". Also, a few of my older commercial DVDs would not play. (4) Small unit has a somewhat cheap feel.

After researching further I decided to return this DVD player and get a Philips 5982 instead, even though I do not need 1080p.

were are you going to find a Dvd player with hdmi out for that kind of money. The first time we played it there was some play problems but a quick cleaning with laser disk cleaner and good to go. I had read were one person said that you could only turn on/off was with the remote.

This one fit the bill, and is a nice little player too. The only thing it is missing is a front panel USB port to play movie files directly from a memory stick. Philips makes players that have that, but they were too wide for me.

Good value for the money. I do not like the remote of this unit, besides that it is a good buy.

Also you can go to the philips site for other info. The reason you cannot have a multi-region player off the shelf is because it is technically "illegal". DVD disks are released at different times for different regions--- disk makers made it "illegal".

I had mixed results with the Philips DVP3960 which I owned for about one week and then returned to Walmart.

You loose upconvertion this way. It also took a good while to figure this out, thus the 3 star rating. I would recommend the player, but know this going in.

What more could you ask for from a company that had its hand in the cookie jar before the cookies were even invented? Well, how about mp3 support, jpg support and DIVX support?

This shuts the laser and motor off, but keeps the last saved position (if you paused the movie for an extended period for example).

It might not be as good as the high end SD & HD players but they are many times more expensive. So for $40 buy this player to hold you over while the HD/Blue Ray war plays out and they become reasonably priced. BTW: don't pay $30 for an HDMI cable, I found one on Amazon for $6 (including shipping) and it's just as good.

I bought this unit about 6 weeks ago on whim one day because I really wanted a DVD player that would support DivX and I wanted it fast.
