Great product
By C. Andersen
Philips playback just keeps getting better. I enjoy watching shows from the UK, Australia, and occasionally Asia, and this box handles the various region DVD's, plus does a great job of playing Mpegs and DivX/Xvid avi files in their various formats. My only complaint is that the user interface via the remote can feel a little awkward at times, but the performance, sound, and picture quality are wonderful on my big hidef tv. Great stuff.

YES, this is multi regional even if Philips says no
By Hoping to be Helpful
Thanks to Gavin R. Jewell "BigHairyScaryMonster" who linked us to H.A Emet review. We couldn't play our European DVDs on this machine. We called Philips who told us (two different reps) they don't make multiregional machines. Searched the comments and found the way to make it multiregional. Thank YOU!! It works now. Can't wait to finally watch my DVDs.This is what H.A. Emet wrote for all of you in the same predicament that I was in.To make it region code free follow these instruction:1. Turn on the unit2. Open the loading tray3. Press the "Setup" button on the remote4. Navigate to the "Preferences" page using the right arrow key6. Press the down arrow once to enter the Preference page5. Enter 138931 on the remote6. You will now see the current region code displayed7. Use the Up/Down arrow keys to select the region required or "0" for all regions8. Press the "Play" button on the remoteHappy watching.

Buy it cheaper from Amazon instead
By Gavin R. Jewell
This PHILIPS DVP 5140 is identical to the one amazon sells for nearly half the price at Philips DVP5140 Multiformat DVD Player with DivX, MP3, Windows Media Support. Although it ships from Amazon in region 1 mode, its a cinch to switch it to multi-region mode following the instructions in one of the reviews there (http://www.amazon.com/review/R1XJZ8ZG9KQRL7/ref=cm_cr_rdp_perm) - I know 'cos I just bought one. I plugged one of my PAL region 2's in before changing anything and it gave me a region error, then I followed the instructions and my region 2 PAL DVD magically played, and on an NTSC TV too.I only plugged it in for the first time today, but it just worked first time with no set-up at all (other than the multi-region thing).Only down side so far is the delayed response to the controls, both remote and buttons - other than that, I'm totally pleased.1 star reflects the price of this page only - not the product.
