5.0 out of 5 stars SONY 330 BLOWS EVERYONE AWAY.... EVEN TOSHIBA 2190, November 29, 1999

I bought the Sony DVP-330 ON OCTOBER 27/99, This is my first DVD Player, and what a great one it is. I bought the Toshiba 2190 and the Sony DVP-330 to see which one was the best. Sony has the best audio and the best crystal clear picture not to mention fast loading and chapter searching. Sony 330 is also quiet running and the remote is universal for your T.V. and sterio reciever of any brand including yourself...the buyer. The Toshiba took Three times as long to load and the picture was Super VHS quality not Digital like the Sony. The Toshiba's audio seemed filtered and the remote was seriously dated, small and cheap. I had no audio lag or lip sync problems from my Sony 330, mine was made in Japan which was also a plus. The Sony 330 is a great buy i openly recomend it. Toshiba was really pushed by sales staff but they receive more commision on Toshiba so they push it more. Toshiba's only plus is zoom and color stream(component video out). Zoom was fun but hardly useful and color stream is over rated. ***** FIVE STARS BABY! IT'S A SONY. Toshiba was boxed back.

This review is from: Sony DVP-S330 DVD Player (Electronics)

I was very concerned in buying a DVD player as I had heard so many problems that DVD players could have. Such as Lip Sync, artifact, fludder, poor transitions on dual layer discs etc... This had me scared to death of which one to get. The Pioneer 414 was great at everything except it had a Lip Sync problem. The Panasonic A120 was a great player except it had some dual layer disc problems. But I wasn't able to read one bad thing about the Sony so that is what I bought and I love it. Not one single complaint and trust me I have watched all 94 movies that I own on it with not one problem. It just plays great. The remote is easy to use, the picture is great, the sound is great. Buy IT!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great "entry level" player, April 24, 2000

This player is great if you're just getting into the DVDs. Now, it doesn't have all the bells and whistles, but if you're looking for quality and reliablility in a DVD player, then the Sony DVP-S330 is the way to go. It's priced very nicely, and you get plenty of bang for your buck.

The player has all the essentials, Dolby Digital 5.1 and DTS support, although it does not have a built in decoder. Many of the reviews I have read speak of a mysterious sound-synch issue, in which the sound is not perfectly in synch with the video. I have watched hundreds of movies on my player, and from what I've seen, the problem is nonexsistent. The remote is very easy to use, and will even control your television and surround receiver, provided they are both sony brand. I have had mine for about a year and have experienced absolutely no problems with it, aside from watching scratched up DVDs from blockbuster because some people just don't care for them. This is a great buy, and anyone who says otherwise needs to check their research.
