(5 out of 5)You'd struggle to find better at this price.
Like many people, I get sick of the time and money it takes to convert .avi movies to DVD then burn them to disc so I decided to go for this player purely bucause it has a USB input.
I've only had the 5160 a month or two but so far it has been invaluable. I no longer waste blank CD/DVD'S on movies that are rubbish and end up in the bin. I simply stick a 2Gb flash drive in my PC and drag and drop the .avi/DivX movie file onto it. Seconds later, hey presto, unplug the flash drive and pop it into the front of the DVD player. If the Movie is not much good, I delete it! Image quality is excellent (as long as the file is around 700Mb/1.5hr movie) and navigation within the player menu is a doddle.
Needless to say, playing ordinary DVD's is just as impressive. Picture and sound quality are both superb. A friend of mine has the Sony NS76H and even he admits that the sound and picture quality from my Philips is comparable and it cost £210 less. I have yet to find a DVD disc this player won't play, the unit is stylish and sleek and build quality is what you would expect from Philips. Most of all, with a price tag of £38.99 delivered, you'd really struggle to get more for your money!

(5 out of 5)Plays .avi files brilliantly via USB!
I bought this player solely for the fact that it has a USB port which allows you to play .avi digital video files on your TV. Set up took a couple of minutes and as soon as I plugged in my USB stick, it recognised it and allowed me to navigate to the video files very easily. Playback quality - obviously - depends on the quality / size of your .avi file, but I'm very happy with what I've seen so far.
(5 out of 5)Brilliant - very easy to make multi region.
This arrived within 1 week of me ordering it. What I was after was a multi region DVD player than can also play AVI's. This was SO easy to make multi region - brilliant. Followed the instructions on the Amazon web site and it worked perfectly, took 30 seconds to sort out. I have also played an AVI from a burned disc as well as from my USB memory stick. Both worked perfectly. For a mere £35 I cannot speak highly enough about this product. Bravo Amazon with the free delivery as well.
