Philips DVD727 Progressive-Scan DVD Player

Product Description

The only way to really appreciate the advanced technology that's gone into your Home Cinema TV is by watching DVD, the entertainment format that allows you to see and hear a film exactly as the director intended. Philips has a range of DVD products, which allow you to complete your Home Cinema. Philips DVDs have great picture and sound quality, but there's more: you can play audio CDs on these DVDs. Dual Focus lasers read audio and video information separately, ensuring optimum performance. Philips brings you many useful features - ideal for a busy family's viewing needs. It's the details that make Philips stand out from the rest.

Philips's slim, affordable DVD727 features high-end progressive-scan component-video outputs and built-in decoding for MP3 music files, as well as JPEG image CD playback so you can enjoy digital slideshows right in the living room. It also converts non-region-encoded PAL-formatted discs (the standard in Europe) for viewing on standard NTSC televisions.

Whether your living room is currently home to an HDTV or you're merely thinking of "someday," the DVD727 stands ready to deliver the full potential of DVDs. Progressive scanning, referred to as 480p for the number of horizontal lines that compose the video image, creates a picture using twice the scan lines of a conventional DVD picture, providing higher resolution and sharper images while eliminating nearly all motion artifacts.

The DVD727 also performs 3:2 pulldown. DVD mastering introduces a common distortion when adjusting 24 frames-per-second movies to 30 fps video; 3:2 pulldown digitally corrects this distortion, removing the redundant information to display a film-frame-accurate picture.

The player will play JPEG images one by one automatically, letting you zoom in, rotate, or flip the picture vertically or horizontally. For MP3 playback, the player offers track time display, album and track selection, and repeat (disc/album/track). It supports nested directory levels up to eight levels, as well as a total of 32 albums and 500 different tracks.

A set of left/right analog-audio outputs channel audio to Dolby Pro Logic receivers and stereo televisions. Both Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel surround-sound signals can be routed through the player's digital-audio outputs (one each of RCA coaxial and Toslink optical) for direct connection to a full-featured audio/video receiver.

Playback options include five-disc resume, which lets you pick-up where you left off on your five most recently viewed DVDs (not applicable for MP3 or JPEG CDs), enhanced parental control (with 80-disc lockout), and picture zoom for magnification of select images.

3 out of 5 stars It is a good, pretty, reliable DVD player, just a little slow........2007-12-12

I've had the product for a long time and it still is working great. The only thing that consistently aggravates me is the time it takes to power the unit up (from sleep) and get the tray to open.

4 out of 5 stars 3 years of bliss.......2007-10-18

I was looking for a unit to play foreign DVD's (requiring PAL and multi-region support) and this player was recommended to me by some ex-pat's.

The player is very basic and played absolutely everything I threw at it without any worry.

Sadly, it's developed a noise after only three years. A poor record, but I liked the unit enough that I'll take a chance on another inexpensive Philips model for the exact same purpose.

1 out of 5 stars Junk.......2006-02-19

Of all the DVD players I've ever owned this is the worst. It continually skips and freezes. The progressive scan capability fails on most DVD's. I have owned various players over the years and this is the only one that has failed so miserably.

I contacted Philips to see about having it replaced and have received the worst service imaginable. It is apparent they don't care about quality.

If you want a good DVD player I recommend going with Toshiba instead.

5 out of 5 stars Has been working great for 2-3 yrs, if you lose picture try these instructions!!.......2006-01-16

For the people that lost the picture but not the sound in their
DVD player Philips 727:

Using the remote control deactivate progressive scan by:
1. open the tray
2. then press the left key
3. then press the mute key .
In my case the image came back

There's some way on your remote to accidentally put the player in progressive scan mode, and then you can't see the picture. I found this possible reason online and then found the instructions to deactivate the progressive scan from page 13 of the manual. It worked for me!
