Buyer beware! No s-video connector!
(1 out of 5) by Robin Phillips on Sep 21, 2007What kind of company has the nerve to sell a dvd player in 2007 that doesn't have an s-video plug? Unbelievable!

lier, liar pants on fire...
(1 out of 5) by Augusta Era Golian on Jul 9, 2008 (Dallas, TX USA)Search on region 2 DVD player and this is the first one up. Only thing is - it doesn't play region 2 DVDs.
All I can say is beware of the search - I expect the items down the line to match a search less, but first up? BS, this shouldn't happen.

Does NOT play Region 2 DVDs
(1 out of 5) by John Sutherland on Oct 14, 2008 (Seattle, WA USA)This might be a fine DVD player. I wouldn't know; I never got it out of the box. The reason for the low rating is the misinformation on the Amazon.com page, which led me to believe the model DVP5140 is a multi-region player. But as soon as it arrived, I saw a big statement on the box saying this was for Region 1 (USA) DVDs only. The whole reason I bought it was to play DVDs that are only available in Region 2 (UK) formatting. So I sent it back. Amazon customer service couldn't find a DVD player that fit what I need. So now I'm just down one major gift idea.

Don't buy this if you need a multiregion DVD player
(1 out of 5) by T. Wilson on Dec 4, 2008 (upstate NY)Although this DVD player came up in a search for multiregion DVD players, it only supports Region 1 DVDs. I cannot comment on the performance of this DVD player; my rating of one star is only because it supports only Region 1 DVDs when Amazon's search billed it as a multiregion DVD player.

Crummy Player, will not play -R DVD's!
(1 out of 5) by David McNutt on Jan 19, 2007 (Austin, TX United States)I bought this player specifically to play DVD-R discs. When I got the player , the manual says that it is incapable of playing DVD-R discs. I've tried over 40 -R discs, and this player will not play any of them.
If you're looking for a cheap dvd player to play your blockbuster movies, get this one. If you're looking for a good player that will play all formats: Do Not get this one.
