By look it is good, finishing it like branded dvd player, doesn't look like chip player, size is like Phillips 3166. it is only 1.8kg. front side four buttons open, play, ff, bw , back side it has all ports like standard DVD player has. it is true 5.1 DVD player, well in Rs.1399 it is best dvd player, i played lots of movies, even DVDs are working fine, and it has 6months warranty too,

List file format it supported.

DivX yes
Xvid yes
MP4 only Video no audio
MPEG4(avi) yes
MP3 yes
Jpeg yes
WMA yes
WMV no
MPG yes
DVD yes
Dat yes

USB port can play all above files , I tested with 1GB pen drive,
I also tested with USB HDD (2.5 seagate 80GB) it is not working with it.
i also tested with USB 3.5" seagate 160GB HDD , it is not working , it is just saying " waiting " but after 2 min , no positive results.

Use 3.5 inches with ext power and make the partition FAT32 and partition 30 GB or less

[bonny72]

Thanks , I tried with 20gb FAT32 , but not working,

[ratedrsuperstar]

try formatting using only FAT coz usb drives have FAT partitions

[chits]

Format the drive to NTFS and see if it works, and does the player has Aux option?

[kumarmohit]

^^^ If Fat32 is not working then there are absolutely no chances that NTFS would work. I recommend that the you should use FAT only coz I have such a DVD player (I got it from Vishal mega mart for 1700) and it works with FAT formatted pen drive only

[aXisxX]

Which player model no? etc?? and does this player comes with Aux option??? i have heard that some players can play vdo's of HDD (NTFS ones).

[chits]

their is no such player which support NTFS from USB ..if u know please paste the link here...

mostly DVD player support USB playback either from Pen drive or ext power HDD..very few has been able to play Divx files from 2.5 "..

I have Philips 5982 but unable to play from 2.5" WD HDD...
overall DVD Player is very good

[topuji]

Hi,
I also bought the same player today. It is not working for Seagate 2.5" 120 GB HDD (USB charged). Can anyone suggest how to make it work for the player ?

[kumarmohit]

It supports FAt only AFAIK and this means you can not mount partitions of any other file system. 120 GB HDD can not be used as you can not have that big disk formatted in FAT.

[chits]

Windows only restrict more than 30 GB in FAT32...
however their are many utility which can let u format whole 120 GB in FAT32.
I have done that using this tool
http://www.ridgecrop.demon.co.uk/index.htm

infact use linux to format the 120 GB in FAT32

Finally I am able to use 120 GB with my Philips player..u guys need a cord like this
Get this cable
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/ima...9025570&sr=8-1
put POWER end in LAPTOP
put POWER+DATA in DVD player and the HDD will ..

u guys can try in passion DVD player

[aXisxX]

^ Which model phillips dvd player do u own?

[topuji]

hi,
thanks for the suggestion ... now another query, have u guys tried the subtitle files ? i mean, the .srt files, if u put in the same folder, it will show the subtitles, but the sync seems to be lost. Do u have any idea about how to put the subtitle files ?

[chits]

@axisXX
I have Philips 5982 ( US Model) ; this is one of the best DVD player available now (not available in INDIA); it has USB/HDMI/ HD-UPSCALE plus all the other legacy philips DVD player format support( Divx 6.0 ULTRA included)...one of my friend was coming so i ordered from AMAZON for $55 .. for the price no one can beat this box..
http://www.amazon.com/Philips-DVP598...9181090&sr=8-1

Problem in above model: No H.264 support and WMV support plus VBR WMA also not supported anyway its a minor thing . Also it outputs NTSC only( again no problem most TV in INDIA supports all NTSC/PAL/SECAM)

Actually I am waiting for my Samsung 32" LCD TV ; so I havent experimented with various format and subs.
AFAIK Philips does support SRT ; cant say for Passion DVD player..

few suggestion try renaming the same as of video file of srt file except extension.

As of now I am able to play DivX from 4GB Pen drive, 120 GB WD passport and 500 GB external HDD( with power) Seagate Drive.

Their is a problem that for 120 GB Drive you need to hook the power to LAptop or PC . I am trying a solution in which I can use MOTO RAZR power adapter (which has USB ) to supplu power to 2.5" HDD Disk.

Hi

Starting from today for 3days, the price is for Rs 1299/- ONLY with 1 yr warranty. But I doubt for its long run.

Anyway I want to know, If I ll burn a DVD/CD with multiple folders/sub-folders inside; will this player can read all the files in all folders/sub-folders recursively ??? And if I'll put the sub title file *.srt in the movie folder will it play the sub-titles ???

Want for ur quick reply. Thank you.

[PraKs]

@URPradhan

Yes it will play from Folders, But dont make too many folders

Always burn movie on root path.

Yes, It has option of Subtitle too, which u can enable/disable from menu

[URPradhan]

Which one should I buy now ?

Either this Big Bazaar wala of Rs 1299/-
Or Moserbaer wala Rs 2990/- (http://www.moserbaer.com/consumer_products.asp)

Do not you watch TV ?
There was frequent ads from BIGBAZAAR for 3 days sabse sasta offer and for more proof you could ve visited their web portal _www.futurebazaar.com

I had visited my town BIGBAZAAR yday for the DVD player but all were sold out having no stock !!!

[dvdaddict]

i bought passion dvd player, but its not outputting DTS track to SPDIF/Co-axial, and also doesnt do downmix DTS track. Has any one no about any software upgrade for this passion dvd player with respect to this issue

[ajay.karthik.nn]

i had converted my ide hard disc to a portable one.It is 80gb.i formatted it to fat32 and is now working fine with the dvd player.There are no folders in mine, only playable files directly with only one drive for entire 80gb.
If u convert to fat32 i think u should be able to play it.
use partition magic software to accomplish changes.
