Manufacturer's Description

12-bit/108MHz 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 limitation of the usual 10bit DAC become in particular apparent while using large screens and projectors.

DivX Ultra Certified for enhanced playback of DivX videos

DivX Ultra combines DivX playback with great features like integrated subtitles, multiple audio languages, multiple tracks and menus into one convenient file format.

Plays DivX, MP3, WMA and JPEG digital camera photos

Multi-format playability allows you to play most file formats for maximum listening and viewing pleasure, including MP3, WMA, JPEG and the popular DivX digital media format. DivX playback enables you to play and share compressed high quality DivX video content beyond your computer.

Smart Sound optimizes audio settings

Smart Sound provides the optimal sound settings for ultra bass, bass, treble and balance so that you can get the best entertainment experience.

192kHz/24 bit audio DAC enhances analogue sound input

192KHz 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.

High quality outputs for analogue and digital audio

Plays CD, (S)VCD, DVD, DVD+R/RW, DVD-R/RW

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, both fields are written at one 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.

Ultra-slim design that fits anywhere

USB Direct plays photos and music from USB flash drives

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!

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.
