Customers are saying

Customers are delighted by the ease of use, built-in Wi-Fi, and excellent picture quality of the BDP2205/F7 Blu-ray player. Many appreciate its compact size, streaming capabilities, and affordable price. However, some users experienced issues with the remote control's functionality and the disc eject button. Overall, the positive feedback on performance and features outweighs the reported problems with the remote and eject mechanism.

    I was amazed at how easy this was to set up. Poped in a region 2 DVD and it just played. Good price too...

    The player is really great. It plays CD'S, DVD's and of course BLU-RAYS. Simple and easy to use, my only complaints are the buttons on the unit are not very responsive. When you push power you expect it to turn on or off immediately, same thing with the open/close tray for the discs. The remote is easy to use but the same problem exists there too. Only other thing I don't like is it's auto detect on feature. Honestly not sure what it's called but my tv, sound bar and Phillips blu-ray player is hard to turn all off because they keep telling each other to turn on. Otherwise, great player for the money.

    this is amazing, it's got built in wifi, it's own remote with easy access through one click of a button. Slim but not easily broken. Plays regular dvd and bluray, all built in one so you dont need to add any extras, also had a usb connection if you need that! all you need is an hdmi cord which is 3 bucks

    This was an inexpensive BluRay DVD player that I understood was an international brand. Opened the box, hooked it up, inserted a region 2 DVD and it played. Dosen't get any better than that. Now, time will tell as to the quality of the player...

    I bought this Blu-ray player to replace my broken Sony Blu-ray player. It works well. The speed and controls of the device are great. No flaws in play back and it loads discs very quickly. The device is quiet. I haven't utilized any of the other features beyond putting in a disc and playing it, so I cannot comment on the wifi or apps. The only things I would change on this device is that the only buttons on the player itself are the eject and power buttons so if the remote gets lost or broken, then the functionality of the device is gone as well. The eject button on the device sometimes doesn't work. If I am changing discs and try to close it quickly after the change it doesn't respond and I have to get the remote to do so (this is more annoying to me personally because the eject button was what was broken on the device I replaced this with and I am basically having the same problem). I don't know if it is just my device or if all would have this issue. My last change would be the remote. It doesn't have any textile indicator of a play or stop button. It also doesn't light up. It is hard in a dark room to control playback features. I often press the wrong button and stop the entire disc from playing returning to the menu screen when I was trying to pause or rewind.

    We use a DVD player a lot so it eventually starts to break down. Whenever we buy a different brand we end up taking it back because it doesn't play all our DVDs. We always revert back to a Philips brand. Like I always wonder, why doesn't a DVD/BluRay Player play all DVDs just like my laptop does. Maybe Philips has done exactly that. As for quality, we hook this player up to a 55" TV and the sound to an old analog receiver which has 5' Magneplaner speakers attached and get almost theatre sound.

    Great price & quality. Just as other reviewers stated, just the power button & eject button are on the unit, so if there are any issues with the remote you're kind of in trouble. I'm not anticipating that, but just a note. I love mine for watching my Netflix Blu-Rays & yoga DVDs. Love the compact size. Very pleased!

    Needing a new Blu-ray player for the spare room I was trying to find a very reasonably priced player. Much to my surprise, i got this smart player with built it Wi-Fi for a great price. It performs well and does everything as advertised.

    I needed a BluRay player that would also play standard DVD's. This player has a USB port in the front in which I plug my 2 TB external hard drive with hundreds of movies on it. The standard dvd quality is enhanced to HD quality when played through the Phillips BluRay player. This was easy to set-up and use. For the price, it is the best player I have ever had. I love it.

    I bought this specifically because it uses a 12 volt adapter, and I could use it on battery power in our RV. We don't use it very often. It works, has a decent picture, but it has a recalcitrant nature- sometimes needing to load the disc several times, or it won't play a disc on Monday, but will play it on Tuesday, or perhaps when I load disc A it won't play, load disc B and eject it, then load Disc A, and it plays. That's frustrating, but workable for our use. Haven't used the WiFi, or the smart features. My recommendation is for anyone that might want a 12V Bluray Player.

    It does what it is suppose to do. I have not have any issues with it so far. Menu is easy and intuitive to use. It plays video and pictures via USB and has many apps preinstall on it like Netflex.

    I've been very pleased with this little player since I got it. The USB port is great for watching videos from a PC, I've not run into any problems watching a particular file format yet! The player is very quiet and hardly takes up any space at all.

    This was about the easiest set up of any DVD player I have ever used. It has all the bells and whistles. It synced with my Wifi in seconds, and we were watching Netflix streaming video less than 10 minutes after we opened the package.

    With Wifi it is good to stream from Internet. Software is slow. And the remote control has small control buttons making it difficult for fat fingered people.

    This is a nice Blu Ray player. It's a little slow but it's a good price. I like how it has NetFlix and the remote has the button for faster access to it.
