Sony DVP-NS57P/S Progressive Scan DVD Player, Silver

another great priced sony product on amazon..
great shipping, fast friendly.. and really easy to operate.

i put a brand new dvd in the player and pushed play. my tv started playing the movie, it was incredible

I just wanted a DVD player that didn't have the HD-up garbage or a VHS player/recorder on it. Not bad for $56 BUT:

Pros:

-Picture quality is fine.
-It'll play scratched DVDs (better than new ones if that makes sense).

Cons:
-My expensive TV (27 inch) does not get Stereo from it (that makes no sense since my TV says "Stereo" if getting it automatically).
-It says "No Disc" on brand new DVDs every time. Have to open and close it for it to read it 3 or more times. Can't hear that sound when a DVD is being read at the start. The DVD tray is not level I think. My PS2 plays DVDs better than this piece of junk.
-My TV is LOUD but this player takes NO advantage of it.
-Made in China (hate to say it but every DVD player, including a $300 one, was junk from China). My friend got a same model with "Made in Japan" and works far better.
-The remote must only work with SONY TVs. My expensive JVC said, "I don't work with junk." :)

I'm returning it tomorrow to the store I bought it from since it doesn't play DVDs a lot unless you eject and close the door again and again. No stereo sound even though it says "Stereo" on the box.

If it says, "Made in Japan" it is great. If "made in China," avoid since it no better than a $29.88 cheapie at WalMart.

Hate to say it, but the $279 Sony I bought 1 1/2 years ago didn't last buy 1 year on the DVD player. The VHS works fine. I think SONY's quality is going in the toilet.

We love this dvd player. The picture is great and it's simple to use. I also like the way it looks. The previous reviews were helpful to me in order to make a great buy. I am please with the price as well as the product.

Very nice dvd player. Got for my daughter's room and it is small and work's great.
