Summary: For the price, it's hard to beat
Comment: Purchased it on an impulse. I needed something to replace a older DVD player. My 5 changer CD broke during a recent move so I decied to buy this model since it can play 5 disks of music or upscale DVD's. I get the best of both worlds. I still plan to buy a Blue Ray player in the future. Once I do, I will still get use out of this device as it will remain as my CD player for music.

Summary: Give your old DVDs a new lease on life.
Comment: I purchased this DVD player to replace an outdated (probably produced around 1998) Sony Progressive Scan DVD player that still got the job done but was lacking in many areas (stopped playing burned CDs). I cannot say how happy I am with this purchase. First and foremost, the picture is absolutely beautiful. There is no comparison between the video output of this machine and that of the outdated Sony, which was an early iteration of the progressive scan.

I had thought about purchasing a Hi-Def media player (most likely the PS3 but an HD DVD player was probably more in the realm of affordability), but decided, quite fortunately as it turns out, to go with this player seeing as though I do not own nor plan to purchase any type of Hi-Def media in the near future. This player makes those old crusty DVDs shine in 1080p. Each time I throw in a movie that I haven't watched in years, it looks like a completely new movie. This player single-handedly brought the life back to my DVD collection.

The player has many other good features, as well as a brilliant video output, such as a six disc memory for the resume feature which threw me for a loop the first time I experienced this in action. It displays JPEG image CDs/DVDs better than any other I have seen in recent memory and allows a soundtrack for a picture slide show. The load time is pretty quick for both switching discs (about 20 seconds for audio CDs and a little more for DVDs), and exchange feature is quite intuitive, which can be said for most of the controls of this machine. I could go on but I think I have said enough to make you all think that I'm a salesman for Sony.

The only gripe I have with the machine so far is that the remote is very sensitive when navigating menus, but it does not hold much water in my book because of how little time I, or anyone actually, really spends in the menu.

All in all, this is the best upscaling DVD player around for the money, and depending on the longevity of the output, I will enjoy this player and more importantly my DVD collection for years to come. So provided that you do not want to spend the money on a shiny new Hi-Def player, this machine packs a wallop for a relatively small price.

Summary: Cannot Play International DVDs
Comment: The DVD is ok but does not allow to play Mexican DVDs, even when they are not copyrighted to begin with.

I called Sony support and they said that all their DVD have region restriction enforced. They indicated that there are 6 regions in the world, and if I need to play DVDs from any of them, I need to buy Sony DVD player for each one of them.

It is sad to see Sony restricting what DVDs I can play in the USA. They are like BIG BROTHER. They are forgetting that they are in the DVD Player business, and this is non-sense.

Summary: Good picture lacking some features
Comment: As my first upsampling DVD player this unit has an excellent picture and seems to be able to play any DVD we feed it. Unfortunately the lack of lighted buttons on the front panel or the remote makes operating this unit in the dim light of a viewing room difficult. I'll definitely pay attention to this feature, or lack thereof, in future purchases.

Summary: Great DVD Player
Comment: I don't usually buy something that hasn't first been tested by Consumer Reports but I needed a new DVD player and I preferred one that allowed more than one disc to be loaded at a time. I couldn't believe how remarkable the picture was on my HD tv. Granted I haven't ever seen an HD movie being played on an HD player but this picture appears to be just like HD. I have not had any problems watching a movie. I am a teacher and I tend to watch movies only during the summer and it has received a lot of play time. I highly recommend this product.
