Be prepared to throw this player out when the warranty expires. I have had nothing but trouble with my DVD player with skipping and freezing and when it got so bad that I asked them to repair it, they actually told me "good luck." Their customer relations people are rude, and the product is lower quality than anything else you might get even from inexpensive Korean products.

Sony's reputation for quality is based on a time when they actually cared about it. They're now trying to milk the cow dry. Do not buy this product, or you will feel like a sucker. Consider yourself warned by someone who just threw his nearly new player in the garbage.

Good Picture, Nice Mix of Features, some you would not expect at this price range. It's Sony (...), what more needs to be said?

Bought it five months ago,used it maybe 20 times. This is my second DVD player. Tray will not open. Sony is ofering free parts, but they want me to pay for a labor, more than I've paid for new player. This is junk ! DO NOT BUY this dvd player. Sony products are not the same, good quality as thay used to be !!

I purchased this DVD player almoast a year ago and it's still working great! I love the design and the remote is easy to use. i've probably viewed at least 50 movies on it and it's still going strong! I have some words of advice for anyone concidering purchasing this product. If you have an older tv like i do,it may not have the right hook-ups, so you might need an rf modulator to go through. I must be honest and tell you that i don't know much about hooking up such things, all i know is that the player would not hook directly up to our tv which is about 8-10 years old, so that is why we had to puchase an rf modulator. But all and all this is just a minor draw-back from someone with an older tv. If you have a newer tv don't even worry about it, and go ahead and purchase this great product!

I too had problems with sony dvd and cd players failing just after the warranty expires. Mine wouldn't spin up the disk. this is the second sony product I have had that had drive problems. STAY AWAY!

Works fine. I was pleased to find out that it will play in random order MP3 music files. One catch is that the remote has no number buttons. Therefore you cannot program it to control non-Sony TV's. Thus the volume button on the remote is useless since it will only control Sony TV's. The Picture Modes are also not a big deal - the picture settings on any TV will play a greater role in the appearance of color, contrast, etc. But DVD's play just fine, and the menus can be navigated with the arrow keys on the remote. Also, this player is very light and smallish, making it effortless to unplug and transfer to a TV in another room.

Probably the best non-progressive scan player on the market today. I use it with my relatively cheap Symphonic 27" stereo TV and the picture is absolutely fantastic! Sound is great too. Plays well my MP3s. I connect it to my high-power Technics stereo system and it produces excellent sound. While you can get much cheaper player, consider this: Sony has been known as maker of reliable products. This device has some fast-moving precission parts inside. Better to stick with a highly reputable manufacturer. And the picture quality is really second to none!

I got it for the price and the styling. It looks great. Best looking one I could find actually. I was only looking for a basic DVD player, so I have no insight into any of it's special features, lacking or otherwise.

I actually like the remote. However, I have a SONY TV, so that may be why I haven't encountered any problems with it.

The unit worked just fine until now though. It's been around a year now, maybe more maybe less, but I've lost the receipt by now anyways so I can't check for warranty. It's stopped spinning properly. Which is pretty pathetic IMO. I have CD players that have lasted for YEARS with never a problem.

While this unit looks great, the "SONY Quality" is obviously no longer there...

clear, light weight, easy to use. nice quality picture. a good move on my research.

I recieved this wrong item and sent it back for a credit and you charged me for it. I would like an immediate responce. I have been trying to locate an area to send an e-mail and with no success I got this. I ordered 2 of these and I recieved one porperly. I also have a letter stating that you could not send this to be and I would receive a credit. Please credit my Mastercard for this. I am very frustrated. Thank you, Barbara Goglia
