Another great Sony Product

I have always had great success with Sony products and have always leaned towards them as a first option when purchasing new. Our previous DVD player was a Sony and had lasted for 11 years, through 3 young children and a move to a new house. The pick-up inside the unit was shot and it was time to shop for another.
I'm very pleased with the DVD Player, it's ease of setup and it's flexibility of controls during playback. The picture is graet and the sound is much more balanced than our previous Sony. As a bonus, all of the Library DVDs now play flawlessly, which really satisfies the 3 young children.....

Try this before going Blu Ray

This inexpensive DVD player does a tremendous job of upscaling DVDs to 1080P using HDMI. If you get close to your HDTV, you can see some conversion artifacts, but back about 6 feet from my 40" Sony 1080P Bravia, the arifacts are negligible.

Yes, Blu Ray discs are superior, but not enough so to make me replace my DVD collection.

Perfection!

This DVD playeris simple and perfect; there is a definite upgrade in picture quality from this DVD player compared to a non-upscaling DVD player. I have a 1080 Samsung and the picture comes through pretty close to HD DVD players that I have seen. It is super slim and very compact, the dislay counts the times that has elasped or can go backwards and counts the time remaining. The remote is one of the simplest I have seen; the fuctions are easy and effective and the FFWD/RWND options is so percise by the second, and for the price this is top quality, just make sure to buy the HDMI cord seperately. Very happy with this purchase.
