it could be better
(3 out of 5) by Kamrooz Shishegar on Jun 14, 2007 (Moorpark, CA USA)1. The user interface sucks!
2. It does not support multisession CDs or DVDs that you burn on PCs. It has to be burned SingleSession and finalized, i.e. you cannot add (pics or mp3s) to your CD later on.
3. Did I mention the user interface really sucks?

Limited functions
(3 out of 5) by R. Forman on Jun 22, 2008 (new york)This DVD player plays videos well. My issue is that there is not a separate skip forward and search forward button. In order to search forward (or backwards), one needs to hold down the skip forward button. This doesn't always happen and sometimes when i try to search forward a little bit the disk skips forward to the next scene. Would it be so hard to have the additional button? Even when I use the universal remote it still has this problem.

Too much technology!
(1 out of 5) by Vincent L. Santoni on Apr 4, 2008 (Northville, Mi)I was led to believe that the upscaling feature would produce a better picture but the extreme pixelation when a scene changed from light to dark made watching movies almost unbearable.
I just purchased a new Sony progressive scan dvd player and the Phillips will go into the closet to collect dust.

Philips DVP5982
(3 out of 5) by Homelyn on May 29, 2007 (USA)This is a good player. Twice it gave my a hard time when it stopped and I couldn't take out my DVD disk and it didn't respond to any command but after I plug it out It works fine again.

A cheaply made dvd player
(2 out of 5) by A. Ahmad on Jun 26, 2007 (usa)I will only give it 2 stars. The dvd player has issues.
Cons:
1. dvd gets stuck sometimes. Only way to recover is to power cycle.
2. DVD player makes strange noises when in idle.
3. The remote feels like a toy.
4. Even with the hdmi the picture quality is so so.
