Why would you list this under DVD-TV combo players when it doesn't have a DVD player? Don't you feel this is dishonest?

Yes it's dishonest. I was duped by the same ad. Bought what I thought was a dvd combo but sadly it was not. Had to buy separate dvd player.

I wasn't aware of the product being put under DVD-TV Combo let alone know I was the one who listed it under the category. Apoligize for the miscommunication but I did not make that mistake.

Don't know what's up with that. Plays my DVDs just fine. If your DVDs are Blue Ray, that might be why. It might not play Blue Ray. My DVDs are not, so again, they play fine. =-)

I don't know what that is, but probably not. I do however, think that regular DVDs can be made...I just haven't had use for that particular thing. I'm sure it's in the description.

Same problem as BookWorm but different player. I have tried 3 different copies of the mpvie Stranger than fiction (from the same video store) and not one would get past the selection menue on my PC or my new Philips dvd player. Ive only had a problem like this once before with the movie Layer Cake. I looked it up and its a Sony Pictures movie too. So maybe this is a problem with the actual DVDs and not the players? Or maybe Sony and Philips DVD players are having the same problems.

I didn't actually see this model without a dvd player but then again I was looking for a dvd player when I was shopping :)

"do you have a warrantee with the dvd?" this is a portable DVD player, not a DVD ...

I don't know. I haven't been able to get the dvd part of the tv to work. My son - the electronics "expert" - has not been able to get it to work. He says I should contact the manufacturer. I bought the tv online, it's not worth my time and effort to dig" just to get the dvd player to work, so I just don't use the dvd part. The tv is fine. I can probably contact Amazon, but I have not -- too much trouble for such a small amount of money. The moral of the story is, "You get what you pay for" ???? ...or maybe I should contact Amazon.I don't think a stand-alone dvd/blue player costs that much.

This is right, but, I would like to add that I was confused for days because there was nowhere in preferences to type in the code---finally called a relative who said to just point the remote at the screen and type in and enter the code, and it worked.Also, I was misled by another post into thing that I had to have a DVD in the player to do this. In fact, the player must be empty.Then---it works.

There is a place to insert DVDs, but I have read that some people have had difficulty playing them. I have not tried to play a DVD myself.

you know,,,,when i got mine ,i was real dissappointed with it,,to me it was a total rippoff..i had planned to use speakers i already had,,but found out,,you cant do that because Phillips made them with wiring that cant be swapped !!! ,,anyway,,to answer your question,,,i really doubt it....i think they made this system so that you CANT use any other components with it .its just that simple!! i would just get rid of it and get another DVD player. by the way,,the one i have,,,,,i never used it ,,it was that bad ,,and i was that disappointed with this purchase .

I wish I could help but I bought mine brand new on Amazon about a year and a half ago. The unit is a nice one and I have not had any problems with it. It plays all formats and getting a 5 or 6 dvd changer that also has HD upscaling is getting pretty hard to find.Realistically, I cannot see ANYONE selling a dvd player WITHOUT a remote since it is almost useless without it.

I am fuming also! Where is the Blue Ray or HD DVD player that won't obsolete my collection high definition audio disks? I want something that includes DVD-Audio, SACD, and HDCD.

What brand and type of dvd player you have.. My dvd player has its own setup that I can use.

I would go with the description. You might try Googling the part number to make certain. I only burn the -R, as the +R doesn't seem to be as universally compatible with both computer and dvd players from what I've personally deduced.

you are smart to ask this question. I assumed that it came with DVD slot - but NOPE - NO DVD slot

we ordered this one: Philips Region Free DVD Player - 1080p HDMI Upconverting - PAL/NTSC 110-220 VoltsNotice that the model isn't specified. Sorry, but already sent it back to Amazon. It was junk. The seller had cut part of the box off in the back; probably where the original region was. The box had been opened. My guess is so that someone could enter the hack code. This was as expected. It's too bad it didn't work out.
