Best DVD player iwth USB

Ok as i started watching movies I found the image to be overly bright. It was then i remembered that for a particular move I had increased he brightness to compensate for the dark scenes . I switched back to my default settings and all seemed well now . Phew thats a relief. There are not many options in the setup menu which is good as well as bad. It is bad for experts who cannot tune the DVD to their liking and good for people like me who in the process sometimes screw up the setting s pretty bad ! You know what I mean ?

By the way I got an LG HDMI cable free with my unit !!! Now I have three HDMI cables !

OT : My hall 29 inch Samsung Slim TV is connected to my Sony DVD player . I was watching ' A wednesday" yest with myt dad and I noticed that in many scenes where the movie was shot under the scenes , the area around the eyes or sometimes the face itself would turn dark. However the same movie via HDMI to my Sammy LCD looked great . What do I tweak so that the dark areas go away ?

@venkatcr - Hi Venkat , can you please provide me with the remote code to control LG DVD players ( LG dv 388) preferably. I have a sony RM-AAP013( it came along with my Sony AV Receiver) universal remote. Thx in advance.

I am sorry Illusion, I don't have the codes for the LG DVD Player. If your universal remote has learning facility, maybe you can point the LG Remote at it, and make it learn. Also check your Player Manual. Some manuals provide the codes at the end.

Maybe somebody else who has worked with a LG Player can help you.

Cheers

Nah its a manual feed it yourself types. No autolearning in my remote. I did check the manual no codes for lg dvd player. thx anyways . Funny even google did not get me any positive hits .

I bought a Philips 5986K/98 and the Philips Arena dealer in Jayanagar, Bangalore confirmed that the USB version is 2.0 and not 1.1. I played a VOB file but did not notice any perceptible lag during playback and the DivX playback was excellent however, the resolution is limited to 720 x 576. I think your model must be an older version.

Sorry pal it seems that your dealer has taken you for a ride. It has been posted in this site by another Philips Owner that the 5986 is a USB 1.1 and the upcoming 5996 is USB 2.0. Before I bought a LG DV 388 it was again confirmed by my Philips Dealer that the 5986 is USB 1.1 but again it does not make that much of a difference . You should be satisified with what you have purchased .

Has 5996 been released in India? Its there one their website for a few months now.

Yeah I know , and I think it is going to be launched soon .Ezone guys have placed an order for it and said that they will communicate the same to me once the same is available with them. I have already bought a dvd player, However I will post the availability in this forum once I get to know of the same in case you are interested.

Would definitely be interested. Hopefully its here atleast for Diwali!
