With Built In PAL to NTSC Video Converter

The Philips DVP5140 is a Multi Region DVD Player with a built in PAL to NTSC video converter, which will convert PAL formatted discs for viewing on a standard US NTSC television. The DVP5140 will also play standard US NTSC format DVD discs.

Multi-format playability allows you to play most disc formats for maximum disc compatibility and viewing pleasure. The ultra slim Philips DVP5140 Progressive Scan DVD Player, can play CD-R/W, DivX, DVD, DVD+R/W, DVD-R/W DVD-Video, MP3, MPEG4, Picture CDs, VCD, and SVCD.

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.

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