Toshiba SD4100 Progressive Scan DVD Player Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've had good luck w/ Toshiba players. My first one lasted at least 8 years, and my current one has been doing okay with great picture quality. I bought the SD-4100 for my mom. After about six weeks, it flat out stopped working. It keeps saying the disk is loading, but it never starts playing the disk, no matter what you do. After reading a number of reviews on sites for the mega electronics stores such as Best Buy and Circuit City, it looks like this problem is very common. Avoid the hassle and buy a different player for basic dvd playback. No wonder the warranty is only 90 days.

Philips DVP5140 Multiformat DVD Player with DivX, MP3, Windows Media Support Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This a GREAT and nice-looking DVD player. Lovely picture, terrific audio and many cool features.
Please be aware that Philips only makes one model of the DVP5140. It will play any NTSC/PAL DVD onto any PAL or NTSC TV. I know this beacuse I called them and asked before buying mine.
So - if you want to play DVDs from any region in any format on any TV, DO NOT BUY the "Multi Region Code Free DVD player" which costs $89.99. Simply search for "DVP5140" and get the standard player which costs $57.95 on Amazon and is identical to the so-called multi-region DVP5140.
To make it region code free follow these instruction:
1. Turn on the unit
2. Open the loading tray
3. Press the "Setup" button on the remote
4. Navigate to the "Preferences" page using the right arrow key
6. Press the down arrow once to enter the Preference page
5. Enter 138931 on the remote
6. You will now see the current region code displayed
7. Use the Up/Down arrow keys to select the region required or "0" for all regions
8. Press the "Play" button on the remote
