5.0 out of 5 stars Everything I expected and more, November 28, 2005

I expected a high-quality DVD player that would flawlessly play any video DVD I threw at it.

It plays DVD -R, +R, -RW, +RW, +R DL and -VR discs recorded on my Sony burner. (-VR discs allow for multiple play lists without affecting the original recording, great for sports broadcast recordings).

It also plays CDs, CDrs and CDRWs with both normal CD audio and jpg/mp3 data, as expected.

What I didn't expect and is most welcome is that it also plays jpgs and mp3s from data DVDs. This is perfect for slideshows of high-quality digital pictures or extended music of high-quality mp3 collections.

Other positives include:

The remote control is well designed with the right buttons in the right places and a comfortable fit in the hand.

Front panel controls are enough for most tasks. 5 buttons allow direct access to each disc. Play, pause and stop buttons function as expected with the addition of a a dual function stop button. One press of the stop button stops playback and allows for resumption of play from that disc. A second press of the button clears the disc from the "resume playback" memory.

The chapter forward and reverse buttons also have a second function. Pressing the button and letting off performs a chapter skip. Pressing the button and holding it down for moment initiates the forward or reverse scan at 1x speed.

All discs except the one being played can be exchanged without disturbing playback using the Exchange button to expose two discs and the Disc Skip button to expose the second set of discs once the first has been exposed.

The only negatives I have are a blindingly bright blue light on the front panel when the player is idle, the front panel digital display is difficult to see from an angle and the unit is large, as deep as it is wide.

But those are very minor issues compared to the flexibility, quality and price of this unit. If it lasts as long as my other Sony electronics products I will be very happy, indeed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing DVD Player for the Price, September 23, 2005

I purchased this DVD player because as a technology gadget collector/lover a 5 disk DVD player was of course on my list of upgrades to my small home theatre. The thing that attracted me to this particular dvd player was the price, and the color.

When I recieved the player in the mail and set it up I realized that I had definately picked a winner. The picture quality is amazing and there are a ton of different options to customize each movie watching experience, and it's not like dvd players I've had in the past where every option seems to look or sound excactly the same. Each one is different and unique in it's own way, and there's even an option to change the picture color to suit the movie.

My only complaint about the player is it's size and the lack of navigational buttons on the interface. The player itself is huge, too big to fit on top of my tv, not that it's too thick, but it's length surprised me. To give you a better understanding of the size I will describe it this way: 3 playstation ones could easily and comfortable fit on top of the player. As far as navigational buttons go, I was surprised to find that the only buttons on the front panel of the player itself are the standard eject, play, pause, stop, scene skip, disc skip, and disc 1,2,3,4,5 buttons. There is no way to access or play any special fetures without the remote.

Overall, this is a great player and I wouldn't trade it in for anyother.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Value Multi-Disc Player, December 4, 2005

After going thru 2 "higher-end" Yamaha multi-disc players within a few years, I decided to try this lower priced Sony unit, and so far I am thrilled with the performance. This player has everything the Yamaha had (my last one was C940) with the added bonus that if I find myself shopping for a new one in 12 months, at least it was only $120 instead of $400 that was spent. The MP3 capability is the one I value the most; I love making my own 5-6 hour compilations (and you can just leave 2-3 dics in your spare slots with these multi-disc models) plus this Sony model allows for MP3 DVD's, the Yamaha would only recognize 100-song MP3 CD's, and that was a $400 C940 unit (which broke in 13 months).
