It fits our situation, but is worth checking before ordering.</p><p></p> /reviews/mpn/philips/dvp5980#review_964943 2008-11-24T13:38:34+00:00 Anonymous <p></p><p></p><p></p> /reviews/mpn/philips/dvp5980#review_944907 2008-11-19T13:06:53+00:00 John, Bristol <p>Exceptionally good quality picture on an ageing CRT TV, even using a SCART connection. Main reason for buying this model was the ability to plug my external hard disc into the USB port and watch all my recorded films and TV programs, which it does brilliantly (note this does need a separate power source, this cannot come from the USB port). Also I trust Philips build quality for reliability and useability. Finally amazing value for money for such a high quality output.</p><p>The remote is a cheap and rather limited piece of equipment, but does work. No eject button on remote, but as you need to go to the unit to remove the DVD it really is not that much of a problem. The listing of files using the USB port is very limited too, with all file names truncated to about 8 letters.</p><p></p> /reviews/mpn/philips/dvp5980#review_943868 2008-11-18T16:17:41+00:00 Anonymous <p></p><p></p><p></p> /reviews/mpn/philips/dvp5980#review_941652 2008-11-18T02:39:06+00:00 Anonymous <p>Easy to use.

Decodes Dolby 5.1 surround through my Panasonic TV and it sounds almost as good as the home theatre system I've just scrapped. </p><p>Menu options are bit obscure, and when selecting them (e.g. picture settings) you have to close the menu to see what it looks like - it doesn't minmise so you can readjust without closing.</p><p></p> /reviews/mpn/philips/dvp5980#review_942329 2008-11-17T21:55:55+00:00 Anonymous <p>everything including divx....</p><p>no eject on remote.but you can push and hold stop button to eject..</p><p></p> /reviews/mpn/philips/dvp5980#review_942057 2008-11-17T20:25:44+00:00 Anonymous <p>Plays everything you throw at it Easily made multiregion</p><p>None I have found so far</p><p></p>
