How much does your Sony cost and which model is it? Are there any good AV shops in PJ area that you can recommend with good prices for Pioneer/Sony DVD players?

Added on September 3, 2007, 5:57 pmhi Leolabs,

How much did your Philips DVP5986 cost and where did u get it from? Thanks.

I bought the Philips DVP5986 two months back for RM 499 (SenQ).
That time come with free 1.5 m hdmi cable. Maybe now a bit
cheaper.Warranty is 2 years and great things is Philips is really
'king of playability' tongue.gif . Never fails even once thumbup.gif

Just wonder...if those DVD player with upscale capability accept video in (e.g. astro), then output to LCD through HDMI, we can have good PQ for normal TV viewing...so far any DVD player can do that? Notice some philips player/HT accept TV in, but not sure it will upscale or not....

i tried before with my digital hdmi receiver, astro still sucks sad.gif .
my eyes cannot detect any differences. But still
connect coz can 'show' people tongue.gif

Is this really true? My Philips 5986 has that logo with the "3" at the back of it. Unfortunately, I do not have any other region coded discs other than "3" to test it with. My 2 older Sony's also have the "3".
*
bro, you can check the region code setting.
follow these steps :


Open the disc tray
Press System Menu
Go to Preferences
Press 1 3 8 9 3 1 on the keypad of the remote control
With the up and down arrows, set the region code to 0 (region free)
Press the OK button

As you can see, when I checked mine,it
already been set to "0" . Funny coz on the
box it stated region "3". While in other county such
as US users there have to 'hack' the region code
thing using the steps above before can play dvd from
different region

does that means Phillips Mesia know that if order to
sell the player here must be able to play 'ahem' dvd? tongue.gif

p/s :same with other manufacturer perhaps ? whistling.gif

My portable also formated to FAT32, but cant supported. Any user of philips 5986 manage to access the movies from portable HDD?
*
I'm using one and connected with Samsung 40GB portable HDD. What I do is divide the hdd into two partitions (20GB each). It works but the player will onli read the files from 1st partition onli. Nway,20GB is more than enough for me.Watch the tv series (prison break, heroes etc) and anime (bleach,naruto) already felt like vommit.

To much, biggrin.gif

Gud luck to you. thumbup.gif

Just now I went to Courts Mammoth near Wangsa. I ask the idiot salesman there to test DVD movies with the Panasonic. All the the tvs were repeatly showing some idiot Courts Mamooth commercial. The idiot says "the source is connected to same source" or something, basically, saying can't test.

So he expect people to buy a 4k TV without testing?? Then what the heck is all those TV on the wall for?

I left immediately and will never ever bother with Courts again.

I get much better service from Best Denki, Jaya Jusco and even shops from SS2.

Maybe I'll go Best Denki later.

all courts salesman alwiz like dat one. here in jb also same doh.gif

i think they want customer to buy tv from the tv "looks" onli ...
