Does Philips dvp5986k/98 comes with HDMI cable?

Where is the cheapest place to get this Phillips DVP5986K? Any recommendation?

I just came back from Courts Megastore, the one beside IKEA. Asked the salesman weather the Philips include the HDMI cable, he said no. WTF. And he straightaway point to the Sharp which costs RM499 and said "INI ADA INCLUDE HDMI CABLE"

I guess I better go Carrefour and have a look first.

I got mine from Legend, RM330

So far so good for me... for the price, I think it is worth every cent.

I've been torturing the player for around 6 hours per day for a few weeks. So far, no problem.

I got mine 5 months ago from Legend, RM310. Hated it now because the fugly design. Eating dust in the storeroom.

how muchie bro?

@DoomHammer, what brand of HDMI cable they bundle with that package?

It doesn't have a USB input?

Yeah, a forumer come directly to my place and COD with me just 1 hour ago.

Just bought the Sony NS708. Tested it and I was totally satisfied with it. Compared it with my Philips 5986K and there are pros and cons between this 2 players.

Sony NS708
- better design and build quality
- boot up & reads dvd faster
- it can read some of the minor scratched dvd that even my 5986K are having trouble reading them (shocking!)
- comes with optical input
- more function to play with in system menu
- nicer remote control
- lack of usb port is a turn off
- bundled with cheapo looking HDMI cable

Philips 5986K
- cheaper compared to NS708
- abysmal boot up time
- comes with USB port
- bundled with Giraffe HDMI cable (gold plated)
- limited function in system menu, HDMI audio output bug (setting auto reset everytime I power off)

Surprisingly I called up Legend SS2 in the afternoon and was quoted RM450 for NS708. Quoted at Desa lowyat RM499 but no stock. In the end, went to Best Denki Summit and bought it for RM399 only. Very very satisfied with it so far.

I couldn't tell a difference between those 2 players, I've tested Die Hard 4 and some Jazz musics and both sounded almost the same to me. But there are more audio settings available for you to tweak for the Sony. Ohh btw, I missed out something, 5986K only upscales to 1080i but NS708 to 1080p. Some DVD definitely looks a bit sharper on my Samsung 40" 1080p. The new 5996K has 1080p upscale too, as well as MP3 ripping function. Pop in an audio cd and a thumbdrive, it rips the audio cd to mp3 format and store in in the thumb drive. Excellent addon I would say.

Best Denki Summit selling that for RM399, I almost bought it until I saw it was display set price.

Did you notice the 1080p is greyed out? It is even greyed out on my FULL HD 1080p connected via Monster HDMI cable. That is why I said it doesn't upscale to 1080p. The option is there, but unselectable.

I've tested both Monster 400 and RM20 cheapo gold plated HDMI cable from PA, there are slight improvement in image quality noticable only on my 40" 1080p panel. Tested it on my old 32" Samsung, no difference at all. But the price I pay for the Monster cable, you can get a NS708 with change for San Francisco Steakhouse.

Post in garage sales, sure got ppl want

Excellent deal, I sold mine for RM270. RM200 is an excellent deal considering the unit is in good working condition.

No it doesn't not IIRC.
