Philips DVP5982 DVD player, mexi told me about it, I picked it up and it's the best!!!

I might be selling mine.


FYI this will play from a FAT formatted HDD.

I had a external sata drive (750gb) to use with it. which i also am looking to sell. no HDD though. just the sata external enclosure.

I'd say just go get yourself a PS3. I know it seems pricey considering what you're looking for...but that's basically all you really need for the full package.

i have a ps3

this is for the tv at work

id like to be able to burn movies onto disc to watch during work

it would be even better if i could just upload the movie onto a flash drive and play it off that


does the Philips DVP5982 DVD allow you play video off a flash drive?

Phillips makes a great dvd player. I bought mine years ago solely for playing divx files. It is fantastic.

Philips DVP5982 DVD player, mexi told me about it, I picked it up and it's the best!!!I have this player and it kicks ass - thumbdrive USB slot right in front, firmware is upgradeable, it's like $50 or less. You can't go wrong.

For playing files off USB it's really good - it's played just about everything I've thrown at it. For playing DVDs though mine is so horribly slow that I want it to die so I can replace it with something better. Retail DVDs take up to 45 seconds to load up on mine before even getting to the FBI splash screen. The remote leaves a lot to be desired (then again I probably shouldn't expect a lot out of a <$50 unit.

Once you get it discs going the picture is great - more than adequate upscaling.

the guy says i should pick another comparatively priced player and theyll give it to me for the Philips DVP5982 DVD player price

Check some more into the LG.

get model number and stuff.

then go over to avsforum and search for that number and then google.

See what files it supports. I know philips and divx are in cohootz but im not sure who LG is paired with you know (Windows media stuff maybe(but i think thats sony))

Other than that look alright.

also see if it's firmware can be upgraded like the philips.

[TooLowBrow]

ok, now i ordered the Philips DVP5992

i hope i actually get this one....

stick with phillips for divx, they'll play almost anything.

If you don;t want to wait you can get the newer ones with usb, hdmi, 1080p upscaling(useless imo) for less than 50$ at costco. they're kickass

You've got moxie.

[TooLowBrow]

is there new firmware out for the 5992?

i cant find it.

the firmware it came with sucks

i might look for some 5990 firmware and try that

any advice now?

[biggestmexi]

did you upgrade to the one above?

or is yours still stock?

[biozombie]

The 5990 with modded firmware is almost the greatest thing ever.

[TooLowBrow]

did you upgrade to the one above?

or is yours still stock?

still stock

[OGC]

did you see my post?

yes, and then some.

it will even rip cds onto a flash drive.


I've had one of these for over a year. Works great.

Does it just rip cds or will it rip dvds also ?

[biggestmexi]
