In the meantime I will just use the power switch on the HD and stop being so lazy. When shopping for this model make sure you have the correct part number. Some sites do not differentiate and label them as just 5990. If you do not know about this you of course will not know you are missing something. from Amazon.com Love this DVD player. It is sleek and light, easy to set up, reasonably intuitive remote, and doesn't take up much space. This was an upgrade to our earlier Philips DVD player (not sure of the model), the major improvement in this is that it plays more formats than the earlier one we had (MPEG4 for example). Another huge benefit of this model is that it allows you to play videos directly from a hard drive, saves us the trouble of burning DVD's or copying to a USB memory stick. from Amazon.com This player is a gem and I have three of them. By the way 2 are 5992s and one a 5990/F7 and I cannot tell them apart, the only difference was one or two of the menu selections were in different order, other than that they work exactly the same. I say this is the best DVD player for me because from Amazon.com I am not sure some people wrote about this item is region free. There is several 5990 from Philips and this 5990/f7 is NOT region free. Some people bought from bestbuy or other store but this is not same dvd player people discribed about item. from Amazon.com The second one, they promised to ship better using a box within a box of packing peanuts -- that didn't happen, but at least this one made it safely. They were good at returning it, but slow to credit my credit card when I re-ordered. Philips DVP5990 HDMI 1080p Upscaling DVD Player from Amazon.com I have an earlier model of a Philips DVD player and it works perfectly. I could not have asked for a better DVD player. from Amazon.com My requirements were optical audio out and preferably up-converting HDMI (for video only). Seeing a similar model at a big box store got me investigating this one online. The price seemed entirely reasonable for an upconverting DVD player, especially from Philips (I am a big fan of my Philips LCD TV) so I placed the order. It arrived and I installed it without issue, connecting to my TV via HDMI and my receiver via TOSLINK (optical audio). from Amazon.com But silly me, the warranty was only 90 days. Wow, guess I'll have to buy another DVD player and just add this one to landfill. I'll never buy another Philips DVD player. What a waste. from Amazon.com I have recently upgraded my TV from CRT to Plasma. Next step, I thought, would be to upgrade my DVD player to HDMI. Previously I had (still have) a good-old Philips DVP-642. The old player has it's drawbacks - it had trouble playing some DivX files and some home-encoded MPEG2 files with Dolby audio, but it was well built. from Amazon.com Press 1, 3, 7, 9. This will display the firmware information. If the last two digits of Version aren't "31," then go to the Philips website and update to the most recent firmware (31). 3) For US users, the first two digits of Version will be "37." Go to http://vb6rocod.euracks.com/dvp5990_37.php and download "DVP5990_37_vb6_v32_All_Logo.rar" and follow the upgrading instructions (http://vb6rocod.euracks.com/upgrade.html). from Amazon.com
