Manufacturer's Description

Philips BDP9000 Blue-ray Disc Player

The Philips BDP9000 DVD player is the first model from Philips that plays high-definition Blu-ray Discs, which takes advantage of today's flat-screen HDTVs by playing content at native 720p or 1080i video resolutions. The clarity and full-color spectrum of the vibrant video produced from Blu-ray movie discs, which provide five times the resolution of standard DVD movie discs is absolutely amazing. The Philips BDP9000 also offers backward compatibility for DVD movie and CD audio discs, and has an upconverting function that brings your favorite DVDs to near HD quality through the HDMI (high-definition multimedia interface) output. The player includes one (HDMI) output, which provides uncompressed multi-channel digital audio, digital High Definition video delivered via a single cable (720p/1080p). High-definition signals up to 1080i are also available through the component video output for Bluray discs (standard DVDâ??s are output 480p through component video). Note that viewing high-definition Blu-ray Disc content requires an HDTV or HD-ready TV.

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: 1080p output/quality picture, audio, card reader, remote

Weaknesses:No HD audio

Overall Evaluation: Provides a lot for the money compared to competition. The multi format card reader is a plus. 1080p upconversion for non-native HD makes everything look great on a tv that can handle it. Multiple connection options with HDMI enables you to do just about any configuration.When you set up the player you need to adjust on-screen before you can use player (tray will not open unless you do). Spoke with tech/customer support about this - they are very responsive, in case you ever need help.All-in-all this is a good player with a lot of features, but still pricey (for now). It is recommended in comparison to others.

Duration of ownership: 1 Weeks

Strengths: 1080P picture (both Blu-ray and upscaled DVD), great audio, nice remote

Weaknesses:No next gen audio support (Dolby TrueHD or 7.1), does not compare as well dollar for dollar with the Playstation 3's Blu-ray player

Overall Evaluation: Can't wait for the format war to end? Do you want a great picture with great sound now? Look no further than the Philips BDP9000. I've found that it has a great Blu-ray picture and good DVD picture (both available in 1080P). The audio is great, but I wish that the player had next gen audio support. Compared to other first generation players, this one appears to be a bit more speedy with load / access times, and the prices are comparable and keep getting lower. Other than the next gen audio, the one thing I would change / want is the ability to turn off the big blue light that shines on the front of the player. You are able to dim the display, but cannot turn off the long blue light. You would be stupid not to at least consider the purchase of a Playstation 3 instead of this player since you get a better (spec wise) player that is completely upgradable based on the hardware and support (not to mention similar or cheaper prices). Just like all electronics, this player will do the job for now, but as more Blu-ray features are introduced and the prices keep falling, you will probably need to upgrade down the road (unlike a Playstation 3 that will just be software upgradable for all Blu-ray features).
