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.

 Great for playing off hard drive through USB 2.0 as well as many formats Divx, wmv June 26, 2008

Just bought 3 of these 5992/37. There is an easy hack found on the internet to upgrade to play all regions dvd's.
Philips DVP 5992
Region Free:
press Setup
select the Preference Tab
Press 1,3,8,9,3,1
Press up/down key to select "0"
and hit menu to exit.
Prior to this I had a 5982/37 which had 1.1 usb and I had some trouble with avi's at high bitrate through the USB 1.1 port but the 2.0 on the 5992 fixed that. Both players play divx (avi) files but the major upgrades to the 5992 are USB 2.0, plays wmv files, now has 14 characters for files on hard drive or memory stick, you can rip music from cd to hard drive in mp format, you can play vob through the usb. The remote is much improved over the 5982 as well. In summary this is a great deal if you need a player that does a good job upconverting to 1080p, supports divx (avi), wmv and has usb 2.0 for connecting a hard drive or memory stick (must be fat 32 - for drives over 32 gb there are several utilities for doing this such as awissknife or fat32.exe - I have a 1 TB WD connected to mine). Also, to sort the fat32 files alphabetically by name there is a freeware FolderSort.exe which you can download to keep your folders and files alphabetically when you play the HD through the USB. The DVD player reads the folders/files in order they were loaded so for convenience you can sort them yourself with FolderSort. Bought mine for $39.99.
There are additional firmware upghrades by a developer Vb6rocod which makes some great changes to the setup options and screens. For example itlets you see file characters much longer than the standard Philips release (at first it was 40 characters from a cd/dvd then upgraded furtherto the length of the bar on the scree; the files through the usb are limited to either 21 or 23 which is a nice improvement), adds font choices to subtitels, colors to subtitles and some other fixes. You can download through rapidshare. See links at http://ryan.com.br/smf/index.php?action=profile;u=1074;sa=showPosts OR http://www.forodvp5100.com.ar/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=1458&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&start=60 OR http://forum.videohelp.com/topic355675.html#1881495. Many users like these improvements. I tried the firmware upgrade and it is very nice.
Philips does it again June 30, 2008

First, Amazon & VNCDirect: another item that arrived earlier than expected. Super service.
Philips, what can I say? It plays VCD's KvCD's, Divx etc. (for those that don't know, u can take an .avi file, burn it as data and watch it on here. I don't know if that works for other types of media files tho. Burning as data is very fast.) I live by Philips for being one of the few DVD players that can handle probably any type of disc thrown at it. I have a DVD movie that I brought and after some months it stuttered on my Go Video, then locked it up. Philips handled it like a dream. Even if it was scratched or the Go Video needed cleaning, I didn't have to find out using Philips. I just found out part of my answer: I put in a scratched CD just now and no stutters.
Remote has an eject button on the remote, can also use the button to close the disc drawer. (yea I'm lazy at times) It has volume control. Don't really know what its for yet, but its there. If connecting by HDMI and/or to a HDTV, make sure u go into the picture setup page of the DVD player & the screen size settings of your TV and do trial n error to get the best picture. Just selecting 720p, 1080i/p in the DVD settings doesn't necessarily mean you get the best picture. U can create .mp3s from CD's. You can set the bitrate (192kbps shoulda been the default tho, not 128kbps,) and some other things that I thought I could only do on my PC. Nice.
One added feature thats a plus for some of you on the net: it has a lip sync feature. What it does: you can adjust the audio speed in movies & videos that are out of sync. So for those movies where the audio doesnt match the video, u can fix it. Something else I thought I could only do on my PC. Nice!!!

I have purchased a few DVD players by other manufactures that claim they can play all DivX files but this one by Philips is the best. I can't believe I am the first to review this product because it works like a charm. The USB input on the front of the player will accept a flash drive or an external hard drive as long as its formatted in fat32 if its over 32Gig in size. I am here to purchase another one, so I gotta go.
 Good upconversion but bad disk operation September 26, 2008
6 out of 7 found this review helpful
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.
----------------------
After I returned the above unit. I found and bought one at Costco to try again. This new unit is loaded with the most updated v.31 firmware and it has been working properly for a week. I also found a way on my PC to use NTI CD & DVD-Maker 7 software to convert my camera's avi video to mpeg2 or mpeg4 format which can be played by the DVP5992 directly on my HDTV.
The only minor complaint is that this player is a bit slow to respond to the remote control, otherwise, it's a great upconvert player. I think I should raise this item to 4 stars.
Works as Described September 18, 2008
5 out of 6 found this review helpful
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
