 "Decent but I found at least one movie it won't play until a firmware update" 2009-07-11
By D. Stewart (Grand Rapids, MI USA)
Bedtime Stories (Plus Standard DVD + Digital Copy + BD Live) [Blu-ray]I've owned this unit for a few months now and it works like it should however I contacted Philips to make aware that the newer release from Disney "Bedtime Stories" will not play the main feature. It gets though the previews but when it starts to load the main feature it sets back to the white screen with PHILIPS in blue screen and repeats the previews. I have the latest firmware update so I'll just have to wait...



Other than that it plays the rest of my collection just fine. I'm very happy with this purchase and understand that their are mishaps like this and thankfully they make firmware updates to address issues like this and the changes to certain formats in blu ray discs. The player takes it loner to load the movies than I'd like but I'm totally aware that there is alot of info on these blur ray discs to process and the clarity is worth the wait. It seems to load longer when you have company over and your both staring at the screen waiting for the movie to begin but really not a big deal. All in all great player. It's quiet when it runs so no distractions or, "what's that loud humming noise" coming from it.

 "This one is a keeper." 2009-04-10
By DeeBee (Boise, ID)
This has been a great machine after 11 months of use. It has been reliable and has played all of my titles without glitches. It bitstreams Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HDMA to my Onkyo audio reciever. I was and am still very pleasantly surprised by this machine. Kudos to Philips.

 "Excellent Bluray Player" 2009-02-17
By BUFFER (Spooner, WI United States)
I am like another reviewer who feels like I have to defend this product. Almost could not believe it when I saw the average review of only three stars as I write this. Did a lot of homework before buying this and when I saw it on sale for just under $200.00 at a competitor of Amazon.com, I had to pull the trigger. I am very glad I did, because the very minor flaws I have encountered thus far (after three weeks of ownership) seem insignificant to me.

Don't compare a player in this price range to one that has double the retail price. To me that is unfair.

I am a guy who has a decent Dolby Digital 5.1 sound system. I don't care if this does not have the latest Dolby TruHD or DTS HD decoders built in, because I am not going to take the plunge into a new AV Reciever thank you. The 5.1 sounds excellent via the optical input. I have a feeling that Philips knows who they are building these things for.

As for Picture quality, I could not be happier. I have it hooked up via HDMI (with the audio off so I can send that via Optical) to a Panasonic 42" Viera plasma (which accepts 1080P24 signal). Blurays look absolutely stunning if you have a TV that can accept 1080P24, and I have not had any of the freeze issues that some others talk about after viewing approximately a dozen bluray titles so far. DVD's look excellent as well (maybe not as good as Oppo), but MUCH better than my previous Samsung DVD player ever produced. Another selling point to me is the fact that it plays all DVD formats. Not just the minus only, some others in this price range. If you have any family stuff, home movies, etc recorded on Plus format dvds, watch out. You might end up not being able to watch them on your new player.

Lastly, If you look at some "big time" reviewers like CNET for example, you may be wrongly swayed against buying something that is not at the absolute top of their list. That would be a shame. I think they got it wrong when they gave this one an average rating.

I really like mine a lot, and I can't imagine that most people would not feel the same way if they picked one up.

 "perfect so far" 2009-02-02
By architecture101
having read the negative reviews i felt i had to defend the philips bdp7200 ive had this player for 5 months and have not endured any problems so far! maybe i lucked up on getting one that actual does work but this player plays beautiful blurays, is very quiet, and has played every bluray i have put in it over 50 so far including the new releases without stopping or having to go through the hazzle of upgrading firmware like i have had to do downstairs with the samsung1500 i highly recommend this player!

 "Disappointing" 2009-01-24
By G. Schwarz (NJ USA)
This is good priced blue ray player. I did my research and this unit was rated one of the best buys by Consumer Reports. Got it, hooked it up, and it played the first movie for about an hour then locked up. Took me a while to get my disk out but I finally did. I called Philips and they had great customer service. Very short wait on the phone (especially for a Saturday). They told me they would replace the unit. It took about a week and a half and a new unit arrived. This unit has been working fine for the past 3 weeks. Now here comes the Disappointing part. They replaced my New unit with a refurbished unit. And the refurbushed unit only has a 90 day Warrantee not the 1 year of the new unit. If I had to make another purchase I would purchase another brand.

Shame on you Philips !!!!!

 "Great Bluray performance" 2009-08-11
By BeaBoo (Minneapolis, MN)
This bluray player performs well. I did the firmware upgrade found on the Philips website before I even used it. I only paid $148 at Sams Club for this player. It's worth it just for the upscaling to HD for the regular dvd's you already own. I bought the Order of Phoenix in bluray just to compare it with the regular dvd upscaled in the bluray player and the acutal bluray disc. My Phillips BDP7200/F7 bluray player upscales to HD really well so there was neglible improvement with the actual bluray disc. The upscalling to HD with other regular dvd's on my bluray player such as Star Wars Revenge of the Sith, Dark Knight and Star Trek Undiscovered Country is so good that it makes many scenes and objects in the movie look really fake and phony. You get too much information in HD sometimes. With the great performance of my bluray player, I will not be replacing any movies I already own with bluray movies and may not even spend the extra money to buy new movies in bluray as the upscalling to HD on my player is good enough for me.

 "My experience with the Philips BDP 7200" 2009-04-10
By DeeBee (Boise, ID)
After using this machine for quite some time, I have to say it is an excellent player. It is so reliable and glitch free that it trumps most other blu-ray players in that sense. It has played EVERY disc I have thrown at it including Twilight, which has not played in several BD players recently. The audio and video are excellent. I bitstream Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HDMA to my Onkyo audio receiver without any issues. Just make sure you choose "Primary Audio" in the setup in order to bitstream. I have had zero glitches after playing 100+ titles on this player. Highly recommended for those who want a good price on an entry level player. Yes, No BD-live or ethernet hookup as it is a 1.1 player. But I burned a CD-R off of the Philips site to install a firmware disc recently. You should be able to get a killer deal on this player these days.

 "Good player but no AVCHD" 2009-02-18
By Rudy
Nice player and price but be aware it does not play home made blue ray discs including AVCHD discs. Since we have lots of home camcorder HD video in AVCHD (HD on regular DVD discs) we had to returned. I do not mind the lack of internet connection and BDLive of this player but I do want to be able to play my home HD video. Given that we also have a Panasonic that we got for about the same price but now it is out of stock, we will wait for the 2009 Panasonic model.

 "Philips has done well here, great picture, easy on budget" 2009-02-08
By Debbie Zan
I recently purchased a Philips 7200 blu ray player, and I am extremely pleased with the decision. The picture quality is absolutely awesome, and the player does a great job with upconverting regular DVDs. If you are cost conscious, and want a blu ray that does a great job with the basics (no internet interactivity), this is one to take a good look at. The player has lots of options for inputs, and it has an elegant looking exterior. I have read some reviews that complained about the load time, which I have not found to be a problem. It does take a few seconds longer that regular dvds, but you have to consider the fact that blu ray dvds have at least 5 times more data to retrieve than a regular dvd. I would unquestionably purchase this again, no regrets. This player is currently in the 200 dollar range. Thanks Philips.

 "Great value, great A/V quality" 2009-02-04
By N. van Someren
I looked around on Consumer Reports and the only thing they didn't like about this model was the high price. Since I was in the market for a relatively budget player for the bedroom I sort of skipped over this one but when I found that the player can be had at under $200 I realised I'd found a bargain. Once I had tried it I came back and bought a second one for the living room instead of the much more expensive Sony I had planned on.



This player has all the features I want and then some. It supports Deep Color on the video and Dolby TrueHD on the audio. Setup is a breeze. It plays all sorts of formats including DivX. I personally find the styling very elegant, with a very plain front to the unit when switched off.



The video quality from BluRay is exemplary. Up-converted DVDs look as good as can be expected but if you sit too close to your 1080p display you can see that the source is not up to par.



Note that I've ONLY used this player with HDMI output so I can't comment on it's analogue quality.
