Manufacturer's Description
Plays any disc. reads any format. Does size matter? Ever heard of less is more? Introducing the best value DVD player. No complications! Just a simple set that plays practically any disc format including your digital photos with absolutely no compromise to picture quality.

Screen Fit for optimal viewing every time
Whatever you're watching, on whatever TV, Screen Fit ensures that the picture fills the whole screen. Annoying black bars on the top and bottom are eliminated, without any tedious manual adjustments to make. Simply press the Screen Fit button, choose the format and enjoy your movie in full screen

12-bit/108 MHz video processing for sharp, natural images
12-bit Video DAC is a superior Digital-to-Analogue Converter that preserves every detail of the authentic picture quality. It shows subtle shades and smoother graduation of colours, resulting in a more vibrant and natural picture. The limitations of the standard 10-bit DAC become particularly apparent when it is used with large screens and projectors.

192 kHz/24-bit audio DAC enhances analogue sound input
192 kHz sampling enables you to have an accurate representation of the original sound curves. Together with a 24-bit resolution, more information is captured from the original analogue sound wave form, giving a much richer audio reproduction.
   
Plays CD, (S) VCD, DVD, DVD+R/RW, DVD-R/RW
Play virtually any disc you want - whether it be a CD, (S)VCD, DVD, DVD+R, DVD-R, DVD+RW or DVD-RW. Experience unbeatable flexibility and the convenience of playing all your discs on one device.
   
Plays MP3, WMA and JPEG digital camera photos
Play MP3s, WMA and JPEGs, and experience the convenience of sharing media files on your TV or home theatre system - in the comfort of your living room.

Progressive Scan component video for optimised image quality
Progressive Scan doubles the vertical resolution of the image resulting in a noticeably sharper picture. Instead of sending a field comprising the odd lines to the screen first, followed by the field with the even lines, it writes both fields at the same time. A full image is created instantaneously, using the maximum resolution. At such a speed, your eye perceives a sharper picture with no line structure.

Customer Reviews

A beauty with hidden talents
The Phillips DVP3310 is a lovely little machine - slim, sleek, ultra-simple "plug in and play", does everything it says on the tin ...well, I guess so, because I actually only bought it to play dvds, not my music collection or photo collection as well. Anyways, it gets great reviews everywhere and, going by the picture quality even on my old tv in the office, it deserves all the praise it gets. The only niggle is the fact that you cannot turn the machine off; it is either in play mode or on stand-by, not quite as energy - and money - saving as you would expect nowadays.

The nicest feature, though, is the fact that, contrary to some comments on the web, it CAN be turned into a multi-region/region 0 player! Hooray! For a moment there I feared half of my dvd collection would go unseen from now on, but then a very nice person on the internet tried and tried until their little fingers bled (I'm embellishing here just a bit, I hope) and gave us the the answer all owners of multi-region dvd hoards have been waiting for:

1. Open the tray
2. Press "9879", followed by the desired region code ("0" for all regions/region-free/multi-region)
3. Press "OK"

And give your unending gratitude to "Flickboy", who originally posted this. Supposedly, it is a code already used by Phillips for another model, but it really works.

So have unlimited fun with this great little player ;-)

a thousand thank yous
I bought this from a local supermarket because it says it plays any disc,£33,i couldnt believe it.When i got it home could not get it to play region 1,so i went to a website and got a code but when i got the codes ,phillips dvp3310 seemed to be the only one not on the list of over a thousand players.I thought i would have to return it then by chance i looked it up on amazon and lo and behold didnt i see crimecats review ,brilliant!Thanks also to flickboy.This machine also has a great memory if you pause at night to go to sleep it will go off and when you turn it on again it starts at the place you left off so you do not have to keep it on all night when you just cant keep your eyes open.I personally think this is a very handy thing as i do tend to watch movies in more than one sitting.Not bad for £33.

Noisy but nice
Very nice little player, does everything my old player did and more, and the 0 region bit works nicely. I was a bit worried at first but am now playing my ntsc and pal dvds well. Only niggly thing is its quite noisy when its reading a disc and when skipping through the chapters, particularly when loading up, but once your playing the film its wonderful. Plus unlike my previous Sony one, you can customize the screen, zoom in, letterbox etc.
