Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Simplify a little: use Sony's 5-disc, DVP-NC675P/B DVD player as your one-point source for your favorite movies and music. The player gives you all the convenience of a carousel changer--continuous playback, play exchange, dual-format DVD/CD performance--as well as quality features like progressive-scan outputs with Precision Cinema Progressive technology and cool enhancements like Sony's Precision Drive 3 system for playing damaged discs. The DVP-NC675P/B plays just about any disc out there, from DVD-Video to DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R, and DVD+RW, in addition to playing digital JPEG photos and hours of MP3 music from files burned to CD-R/CD-RW discs.

Whether your living room is currently home to an HDTV or you're merely thinking of "someday," the DVP-NC675P/B stands ready to deliver the full potential of your DVDs through Sony's Precision Cinema Progressive deinterlacer (scanning) with 3:2 pulldown processing. Progressive scanning, referred to as 480p for the number of horizontal lines that compose the video image, creates a picture using twice the scan lines of a conventional DVD picture, giving you higher resolution and sharper images while eliminating nearly all motion artifacts.

Precision Cinema Progressive technology uses a 12-bit video DAC (digital-to-analog converter) with 54 MHz processing to detect image changes at the pixel level, rather than at the level of whole scan lines. That makes this player's picture more faithful to the source--whether film or video--because it uses separate, optimized algorithms to handle different pixel behaviors. Separate algorithms are also used to process the moving and still parts of an image, resulting in sharp backgrounds with moving objects that are free from motion artifacts.

DVD mastering introduces a common distortion when adjusting 24 frames-per-second movies to 30 fps video; 3:2 reverse pulldown digitally corrects this distortion, removing the redundant information to display a film-frame-accurate picture. Composite- and S-video outputs bring compatibility with nearly any television.

Both Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel surround-sound signals can also be routed through the player's digital-audio outputs (one each of RCA coaxial and Toslink optical) for a simpler connection to a compatible AV receiver (but be aware that digital-audio interconnects are not supplied).

Precision Drive 3 provides a mechanism for reading DVDs that are in less than perfect condition, eliminating errors in playback due to imperfect, scratched, or warped discs. Past generations of Precision Drive technology were only able to compensate for warped discs by moving the entire optical block, which took more time and limited the amount of correction possible. This newer system simplifies the process by moving just the lens (instead of the entire optical block) for faster and more accurate error correction.

As soon as you hook up the DVD player, a special Quick Setup screen appears ready to guide you through configuration, step by step, screen by screen. DVD resume memory kicks in whenever you stop a DVD. Later, when you come back to it, the player will pick up right where you left off before. The player holds resume points for up to six discs.

Other playback features include 10-second instant replay, DVD/CD Text display (with applicable discs), a digital video enhancer, digital video EQ (equalization), custom parental control memory for 40 discs, as well as Advanced SmoothScan and SmoothSlow Modes.

What's in the Box
DVD player, remote control, 2 AA batteries, a stereo analog audio/composite-video interconnect, a user's manual, and warranty information.

5.0 out of 5 stars Does it all, January 14, 2005

By 

Dr. James (Buffalo, NY) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Sony DVP-NC675P/B DVD Player (Electronics)

This unit has all the features you'd want- fully compatible for Dolby Digital, DTS, etc., an optical digital output, progressive scanning. I actually don't have a TV that accepts progressive scan output but there's a switch on the back to stay in normal playback until I upgrade my TV. Video can be output in component form.

The slow forward and reverse playback is much smoother than my old unit. There are separate Menu and Top Menu buttons so you can go back just to the Special Features (or other sub-menu) or all the way back to the initial menu. It also remembers where you were watching on the disc even if you've watched a different one since- really nice. The set-up is reasonably easy with the on screen menu- it only took me a couple of tries to get the right digital output, etc. About 15 minutes overall.

It really does play damaged discs- I had an ancient CD that hadn't been in its case and was smudged and scratched. It played perfectly without even cleaning it.

For a 5 disc changer I don't see how you'd find a better value.

I bought this product couple of weeks back, and it's beautiful. Plays MP3, SVCD, DVD +/- R/RW without a hitch. I love it. It's excellent value for money. It also has Digital Optical out, so it's cool if you have a HTR which accepts it!

I love it and for the price and value would highly recommend it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Works great- Plays everything I throw at it, May 13, 2005

I've had players in the past that have balked at the cheaper Dvd media I've stuffed into it. Not this one. I'd buy another one just like it in a second.
