The user manual states that you may connect the device to a multi channel receiver (front L&R, rear L&R, center & subwoofer ports) with a Dolby Digital Decoder (does this answer your query, sorry not very audio proficient).Though the player has both Dolby Digital and DTS logos represented on its physical body, the manual, and to an extent my knowledge about the player, is quite ambiguous as to the extent of the player's capabilities regarding either.

Does this have the DD and DTS built in decoders thru 5.1 RCA outputs?

Yes, this model has built in DD and DTS decoders and can output both thru the 5.1 analog RCA output jacks.

maybe your display (lcd tv or plasma) is not capable of outputting 1080p signal.

Sir, TV mo may problema it is not capable of a 1080P reso. It has a front control (katabi nang play) to upscale at saka sa setup menu

grabe jim, kabibili ko lang nito - di pala sila match! talagang tama si sir mat sa ibang thread na nabasa ko. "to prevent SARS, avoid PDVD!"

Mga sir, don't despair, I dont see any difference between a setting of 720P and setting it at 1080P (lalo na playing pdvd) even between 480P and 780P. If there are any di ko makita. Sa 32" ba may nakita kayong difference?

actually sir sfcc tama ka diyan, however with the price that we bought the 32s of sammy last december e presyo na nang 40s ngayon that are capable of 1080p lalo na yung pocket friendly na panny. kakahinayang, had i known pdvd earlier .... hay buhay, talagang lagi sa huli ang pagsisisi. mabuti na lang at may forum na ganito... gets you educated and makes your risks extra calculated.

^^^ ... ako i bought my lcd dec06. 2 weeks before the price dropped by 10k. i got a good deal as my friend own ansons, but srp wise the samsung 32s71 still cost 69,999 then!!! 5000:1 contrast ratio and 1 hdmi input lang.... kaya nga ngayon id much rather put it sa CR ko kaysa ibenta for an upgrade.

sfccc · « **Reply #42 on:** Jan 28, 2008 at 07:03 PM »

Mga Sir, aako tagal ko bumili nang gamit kasi i scout for the best, iyon inabot ako nang mga sale at promo. at saka mga bagong model na lcd TV

Ang sabi po nila, the only way you will notice a difference between a 720p and 1080p settings is if you have a screen size of 40" and above. If you have a screen below 40" di daw ito makikita masyado.

I agree, but not that much with an upscaler using a standard dvd disc as source.

Ang malaking difference is using a HDdvd or blu ray player and play it with HD or blue ray disk sa mga full HD na TV.

tama kayo mga sirs not much diff in upscaling in 32". ang masakit e ang presyo ng 32" namin ay presyo na ng 40 inchers na ngayon na capable of 1080p. huhuhu...

Sir wag kang malungkot, Ikaw and others were the first to have a hands on sa LCD TV. Hindi pa uso meron kana. Should be proud with it.

SOLUTION Benta mo Buy a newer and Larger model. Sigurado, if you are a video and audio enthusiast you will enjoy it.

ayan! 2 na kami ni sfccc nagsasabi.....

isipin na lang natin... una tayo bumili ng LCD...

& i agree with ctlim, lagay na lang sa CR kesa ibenta ng sobrang pa-lugi.....

thanks guys... pero OT na tayo baka sabihin ng mods pang padami lang to ng post. peace mods.

anyway tama ka ata christian bagay ata sa masters na lang to ilagay tapos bili ng bagong plasma para sa AV room. para may bagayan ang 5986k. whew!

just following on inquiry before this page, has anyone tried using component cable? does hdmi cable provide better signal or its all about convenience of having just one cable?

Tried a Western Digital 320GB MyBook and the dvd player was able to recognize and play the files from the harddrive

Thanks for the info housebum. The file system you used is FAT32 right?

Guys any info how much is this now? Pati yung lower model nito yung up to 1080i lang. Thanks

barrister · « **Reply #53 on:** May 14, 2008 at 03:11 PM »

How does this model compare with Pioneer in terms of playback reliability?

I'm not worried about picture quality, since Philips also uses a good Mediatek DAC.

What I'm looking for is a player that is the least picky when playing DVD discs. My Pioneer 490 has a slight hiccup on the 2-disc Bram Stoker's Dracula (U.S. R1).

barrister · « **Reply #54 on:** May 15, 2008 at 10:33 PM »

I got the Philips 5986. Dracula hiccup is gone

. No more Pioneer players for me

Call PHILIPS. they upgrade to regionless.

barrister · « **Reply #56 on:** May 16, 2008 at 01:50 PM »

Easy lang mag regionless sa Philips -- just enter a code on the remote. That's why it's OK even if they're region-locked out of the box.

It's harder on newer Pioneers -- you will need a laptop. That's why they should be region-free out of the box.

==================================

Philips dvp5986k has jacket_p support. It's a minor feature, but it's nice to have.

Has anyone noticed that with this dvd player when upscaled to 720p, 1080i, 1080p the pq becomes fish eye at both corners of the screen.

hi steel crazy, check your widescreen setting and play around with it to take this out.

here's the online manual link to toggle this option:

did you notice it? at 480p the pq is flat and ok. but at 720p to 1080p check out both sides of the screen and tell me what you notice.
