Forgot to add Philips USB direct rocks dude...can simply play AVI files easily...

I buy the philips dvp-5986 one weeks ago, hte usb is great but not "eat" all the devices.

I got two thumb drive, one is working but the other one can't be detected by the player. Besides that, i got one 80GB external hardisk but it can't be detected by the playe also (it is in FAT32).

is the player only "look" for certain brand or model????

wah~ can't believe a BEST HDMI PLAYER can go up to 109 pages...
from the very beginning i read this thread until i got mine Philips 5986 for few months~
u all are lucky cos the price dropped alot! last time is RM499. now RM330~

back to topic the Toshiba HD-A35 not worth anymore due to HDDVD lost the format war...

i always wonder whats that HD upscale button do?
not auto upscale thru hdmi? i am kinda tempted to buy this player to replace those china brand dvd player that always give me those shocks

Toshiba HD DVD now advertise became DVD upscaler player with HD capability....pity...

Most of the time, it will auto upscale to the LCD/Plasma prefered display resolutions. If you TV is capable of full HD...the player will auto upscale to 1080P or something like that. And if you LCD/Plasma is the normal HD ready set, then the DVD will only upscale to 720P.

But nowadays normal HD ready LCD/Plasma can recieve 1080P/i inputs,...so thats why there is a button or selection by U.I to upscale it to 1080P/i even though your TV is not capable of displaying Full HD.

It works with my SanDisk Micro Cruzer 4GB. External HDD will not work regardless of size as stated in the user guide and online faq.

Best upscaler is Toshiba XA2. Grab it now with super low price of USD499 only....so cheap that I can't believe it....!!!!

Anyway, I dun have LCD. That's why I bought Samsung HD 950 where it can upconvert using component. No DVD player can do that now...

so ex, usd499? might as well get the A35

i tot somebody said got a few dvd player can upsclae thru component

I have one at home

wah..htkaki so elite...USD499 toys at home....

paiseh.... I meant DVDP upscale via component. Given free by Supplier. ar188 saw this unit b4

fuiyoh... got stanley's poiwer as well!!

Siapa Stanley?

I am actually using 2 DVDP with upscaler. One via HDMI and another via component.

I havent tried with any External HDD...but so far all USB sticks works for me...I dunno if got type that doen't work.

But for External HDD, are you using the notebook one or one that need to connect to a power supply?

Where is the best place to buy this player now? Price still around RM330?

With regards to the Samsung HD 950, are you sure it can upconvert using component? Just curious, what TV are you using anyway if you are not using LCD? If it's just conventional TV you are probably not getting even 720P resolution.

CRT also got HD ones lar

Arent those can input HD only but in the end also downscaled back to normal resolution ?
