Philips DVP-5990 With USB 2.0
Posted at 2:48 am. Filed under: Shopping, Gift Ideas, Website Reviews, Technology, Interesting Products
I recently picked up a new SD card to use with my Philips DVP-5990 DVD player with a USB 2.0 port. You can plug in just about any USB mass storage device, such as external hard drives, USB thumb drives, SD cards with USB card readers, and so on. It has become my favorite new media player. I’ve been using a Transcend 16GB SDHC card (SD High Capacity) with Transcend compact card reader combo. It’s so nice being able to play videos I edit and that sort of thing right from USB devices without having to burn the video onto a DVD-R first. I recommend the DVP-5990 to anyone looking for a great and affordable USB media player. It’s also a 1080p upconverting DVD player.

Hi
I have the same player and like you, i love it !!!
Though i have noticed one thing… the dvd player is connected to a sony home cinema system, and whenever i play movies from the USB, the sound only plays from 2 channels and not 5. Why is this?
Thanks

Hey, Cher. The simplest explanation I can think of is that the video files you’re watching only contain a 2-channel stereo audio track, rather than full AC3 5.1 audio. If you’re watching mostly DivX / XviD files and would like better sound, try downloading a video with AC3 audio and see if you get better results. I hope this helps.
