Philips BDP9000 Blu-Ray Disc Player

31YQ6WMW5CL. SL500 AA280 Philips BDP9000 Blu 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 DVD’s are output 480p through component video). Note that vie (more…)

    Bogus Sale
    I never could get this product to play my Blu Ray discs. It plays my regular DVD’s just fine, but for Blu Ray, I would recomend something better.

  2. URGENT UPDATE: INSTALL SAMSUNG 1.9 Driver to the Philips Player To Fix Problems!!!

    It’s Feb 2009 and this Blu Ray player was having trouble with certain new Blu Ray releases . . . they wouldn’t play, etc. I was told this unit would be useless soon and Philips was not updating firmware. I searched and found this thread [...] and it suggested installing the Samsung Driver . . . I was skeptical at first, but was about to scrap this thing . . . so I installed the SAMSUNG 1.9 Driver update . . . IT WORKED!!!!!!!

    Previous Review Below

    Like the reviewer below, I also have the Toshiba HD2 Model for HD DVD. I am using both of these units on a Mitsubishi 55″ 1080i HDTV. Using the Impact Component Video Switcher with Optical Audio connections I have been extremely pleased with this product so far. Why would anyone spend more for a Blu Ray Player? At some point I think the details of the output specs don’t live up to the cost paid. This unit however, exceeds expectations given the current price point of other Blu Ray Players. Bottomline . . . I feel I made an excellent choice buying both this unit and the Toshiba HD2 HD DVD players rather than spending MORE money for just a Panasonic or Sony Blu Ray player.

  3. Just got this player, tried 3 blu ray movies, Ultraviolet, X-Men and Kingdom of Heaven, the picture is beautiful, on par with HD DVD player, also upscales regular dvds very nicely, played Star Wars Episode 3 and it looked great. Fast load times compared to HD DVD player. Very Happy with purchase.

  4. I just picked up this model a few weeks ago, and so far I’m very impressed. Standard dvds look amazing and Blu-rays look absolutely stunning. I’ve read some complaints about the audio options, but I don’t know what that’s about. I have it hooked up through digital optical and multi-channel, and the sound is phenominal. Also, the setup menu options are very user friendly. I don’t know why more people aren’t buying this model. There’s my 2 cents.

    A Quick Look
    Great picture! After upgrading the firmware, the Philips BDP9000 had no problems playing Blu-ray discs including Pirates of the Caribbean 3.

    Won’t play my Blue Ray discs
    I bought this player in June, I did not get a 1080p tv until Dec. The player plays my regular dvd’s fine but when I tried a couple of blue ray discs I discovered. 1.

    Won’t Play Some Discs
    For the money, I am pretty disappointed that this player will not play some discs. The discs are brand new, but shows like Weeds simply will not play.

    Not real impressed
    I purchased the Philips Blu-ray player. Obviously, when you pay this much, you’de better be impressed. Unfortunately, I was not very impressed.

    Clear picture, great sound and only slightly slower load times than a normal DVD player.
