replaced my 6 year old philips dvp642k with this one. bought it a few days ago at anson's cash&carry.

as mentioned above, Php3,490 na lang, 0% inst. for 6 mos. pa!

great deal & an excellent simple christmas gift for myself.

If higher model numbers are newer, then based on Philips PH web site, I assume that the newer models are DVP5990K/98 and DVP5996K/98? Based on Philips US web site, I assume that the newer models are DVP5990/37 and DVP5992/37?

Can anyone confirm that these higher number models are actually 'newer/better/improved'?

Anyone know the difference between the ***K/98 and the ***/37 models? Is it just AC voltage?

My Bro is selling his Philips DVP5986k, he just bought it this Dec. PM me if you are intrested. Thanks!

asakky · « **Reply #73 on:** Jan 10, 2009 at 03:38 AM »

Thinking of buying this, but would like to ask first...

How does the USB connection on this player (or, in general, on DVD players that have a USB port) work?

Does it work like this -- you connect the player to a computer, the player looks like a USB storage device to the computer, you copy mp3 files to the player, and then the player can play them, and the digital output comes out not only through the analog audio outputs but also through the S/PDIF digital audio (coax and/or TOSLINK optical) outputs?

If so, what is the storage capacity of the DVD player?

defjam · « **Reply #74 on:** Jan 10, 2009 at 07:55 AM »

the player has no storage capacity. you have to plug un a flash drive with music,movies etc...

Anybody seen DVP5986K in stores lately? Seems to have disappeared.

Salesperson at Abenson Trinoma claimed that DVP5996K is the replacement model and that they had one unit of DVP5996K for P4,990, though it was not on display.

Anson's Trinoma did not have the DVP5986K nor the DVP5996K.

I could no longer find info on DVP5996K on Philips PH website. Last January 2009, it was in the list of players but now it seems to have disappeared.

asakky · « **Reply #77 on:** Apr 06, 2009 at 12:48 PM »

I'll also record here a direct link to DVP5990K/98 because every now and then Philips PH website seems to get screwed up and you can't find your way to a specific model anymore.

http://www.consumer.philips.com/consumer/en/ph/consumer/cc/_productid_DVP5990K_98_PH_CONSUMER/DVD-player-with-HDMI-and-USB+DVP5990K-98

Now where is that DVP5996K/98 page? It was there before. I downloaded the pdf spec sheet before. Did Philips PH drop it from their website for some reason?

On the Philips US website, the model lineup is more complicated than before. Last January, I saw DVP5990/37 and DVP5992/37. Now there are four --

DVP5990/37
http://www.consumer.philips.com/consumer/en/us/consumer/cc/_productid_DVP5990_37_US_CONSUMER/DVD-player+DVP5990-37
DVP5990/F7
http://www.consumer.philips.com/consumer/en/us/consumer/cc/_productid_DVP5990_F7_US_CONSUMER/DVD-player-with-USB+DVP5990-F7
DVP5992/37
http://www.consumer.philips.com/consumer/en/us/consumer/cc/_productid_DVP5992_37_US_CONSUMER/DVD-player-with-USB+DVP5992-37
DVP5992/F7
http://www.consumer.philips.com/consumer/en/us/consumer/cc/_productid_DVP5992_F7_US_CONSUMER/DVD-player-with-USB+DVP5992-F7

Why do these manufacturers have to make so many different models with small differences on features and from country to country. Why can't they have just a few models that work anywhere on the planet, like Oppo.

A consequence of having so many variations is that consumers can get confused or overwhelmed or paralyzed, and not buy anything at all, no?

Found DVP5996K/94 on Philips India website:

I suppose /94 means India while /98 means Philippines?

Saw DVP5996K at Anson's Trinoma for P4,990 -500 discount if cash. Anyone tried this new model so far?

ive observed that there are movies na ang sama ng upscaling ng player na 'to...
ive observed it most of the the time sa mga full screen movies..tapos I upscale it..
may lumalabas na parang distorted image sa right side ng TV.. yung distortion is parang yung image is under magnifying glass..similar then sa mga pictures taken by ultra-wide lens...

btw, my TV is 42PV8..

pag ganyan nangyayari binabalik ko na lang sa 480p and let the TV do the upscaling..then automatically nawawala distortion so I deduced that sa DVD upscaling ang problema ko...

I recently noticed something annoying about my 5986.

I can't disable the on-screen multi-angle icon.

It appears only when the program material contains multiple angles. But when it does appear, I can't find any way to turn it off.

Is there any way to disable the on-screen icon?

Make sure under video hdmi options, on Widescreen Format option, (watching 4:3 images on a 16X9 tv) set this to 4:3 pillarbox. In this setting, 4:3 images will not be stretched and will appear as it is with bars on both sides. However, this is only effective when the player is set to 720p to 1080p and tv aspect ratio set to 16X9.

I havent encountered this issue on my PV70. All resolution modes appear fine with no distortion at all. One thing I noticed lang is when the player is set to 480p or 576p, the image seems to be too sharp and the hue is a little on the pinkish side. With 720p to 1080p, picture sharpness and colors look very natural and more cinematic.

ok will check it out kung may improvements.

My 5986 sometimes freezes when playing Verbatim DVD+R Dual Layer discs.

Everything else plays fine. No problems with single layer DVD-R. No problems with pressed orig. DVDs, whether single or dual layer.

Disc details:

Verbatim DVD+R DL;
MID: MKM 003 000;
Burned with ImgBurn 2.4.4.0;
Book type DVD-ROM;
Write speed 8x;
Passed Nero ScanDisc Test, 100% at 8x.

I tried cleaning the lens with a Philips lens cleaner disc, but there was no improvement. I updated the firmware, still no improvement.

Has anyone else encountered this problem?

recently bought a dvp 5996k may stock pa sa western trinoma. 4990 may less 500 ata pag cash. may free pa na clock/am/fm radio. nasira kasi yung pioneer 600 ko. mas maganda ang sound via hdmi compared sa pioneer. sa picture wala naman noticeble diff kasi pareho sila upscaling.
