Sony - 5-Disc DVD Player with HD Upconversion

I absolutly LOVE this DVD player. I will agree with the previous reviewer that only being able to play a single disk seems impossible as it automatically cycles through to the next disk. Otherwise, its a fantastic player with great digital output over HDMI and 1080P upscale. Its VERY quiet compared to other players I have had. I would highly recommend this player to anyone looking for a new DVD player that hopefully will last (always get a warranty from BB on DVD players as they are not built like they used to) for a long while. The interface is also very clean and easy to read. Instructions were strait forward, remote works great and is easy to use. This DVD player integrated with my Samsung TV remote easily as well.

I've been using this Sony 5 disc changer for a few weeks and I really like it. I have a Sony 52" XBR LCD mated to a Dish Network HD receiver/DVR (VIP 722 with a 750 GB external hard drive) but never got around to adding a decent DVD player. My old DVD player was capable of only 480i output. I didn't want to drop the coin on the Panasonic DMP-BD55K which is the best BR-DVD out there now because I think they are still a bit over-priced not to mention the cost of BR DVD movies. This Sony delivers... it does just what its advertising says it will do.It's quiet, has a slim height so it fits nicely into the confines of my A-V cabinet and does a terrific job at upconversion of standard definition DVDs. I watched Training Day and LOTR immediately and upconverted via this machine it was GREAT! Bottom line: I'd buy this machine again at more than the $124.00 I paid for it without hesitation. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars in all categories is I felt the user interface could have been a bit better and it is just a tic slow on loading DVDs, but considering the price of this unit, no probs here. I was amused at the complaints about its audio CD features, specifically the one that read " no shuffling CDs - that's what I bought it for". Its a DVD player that upconverts standard def DVDs to near HD quality and, of course, plays audio CDs nicely for less than $125... seems there is no pleasing some people. If you want a CD player, BUY ONE designed to do that... or pay a LOT more than the cost of this baby to play your audio CDs, upconvert your standard def DVDS in the way you want as well as this model can. This player is great... and suitable for people with realistic expectations based on its LOW cost.

I really like the style and the look of this product. It looks good sitting on top of my big screen that i got from bestbuy. Bestbuy to me has the best electronics and then they give you the wonderful warranty with each product. This item is a keeper and the fact that it is a 5 disc player with Hd! The pictures sound and look so good. The sound is truly the bomb! This is a good electronic gift! WOW!

I bought this unit as a Home Theater setup and I had the GEEK squad come set it up for me. The first month or so everything was super....Great Sound, Great Picture. Then after the second month went by we started experiencing periodic sound loss while watching movies but it was so quick that we belived it was a disc problem ? But it started happening more and more as time wore on..Not too annoying but annoying enough to say the least. Now when I play CD,s it will start off fine for about 1 disc.....then it,s volume starts to deteriorate a bit.....after a few minutes it goes silent ? Disc still playing but nothing coming out. Its been about 2 years or perhaps a bit longer but it is going to get replaced now. I will probably buy the exact same unit as it is priced alot lower than what I originally paid....299.00 is what I originally paid and it now sells for 129.00

The DVD player was very easy to set up and use. When it worked it played well and had a good picture. But about after two weeks of use, 6 movies, it stopped reading the DVD. Tried multiple DVD's to make sure it was not a damaged DVD, but to no avail, it had stopped reading DVD's. Best Buy people were great in giving me a full refund and just turned around and bougt a Blu Ray player from them.

I have had this sony player and just like clockwork I have had to replace the drive motor and have the lazer repaired during the last year, the picture quality is good when all components are working but with all the mechanical repairs this is not a good value espcially when the warrantee expires. Sorry Best Buy this is not a Good Buy you might as well say good bye to this one.

I have purchased 3 of these players they only last about 13 - 14 months I thought the first one was fluke. 3 is enough for me changing brands

This DVD player was a good value overall, but I'm not sure the picture quality is quite as good as my Yamaha single DVD player (also with upconverting). For the price, access to 5 discs and pretty good picture quality overall it is a good player, and I've always felt Sony was a good brand. If you are not ready to pull the trigger on a blu-ray (and don't want to replace your entire DVD collection) you will be happy with this changer.
