Summary: ok
Review: The good thing about this player is good sound quality,good clean picture but the bad thing is about every 4 hours the picture fades from light to dark for about 5 min.In order to fix this problem,just turn your tv and your player off for about 30 sec.Then u could get back to your movie,cd,etc.Sony is normaly a high-quality brand except for this player.i hope this review helps!

Summary: So far so great
Review: This machine is connected via component video to an InFocus X1 projector. To date, we have watched about a dozen factory DVDs and several non-factory DVDs (DVD-R and DVD+R copies) without any picture freezing or other anomalies. It produces a very sharp and color accurate signal for the X1, which is also a fine piece of equipment. With its picture enhancement features and its pricing under $100, this DVD player is a bargain.

Summary: MP3 difficulty
Review: This player does everthing a basic DVD player needs to do with respect to playing movies. Great. However, the lack of an optical out is a bummer when hooking up the system to a nice receiver. If I burn a party mix on MP3 and want to play it, the player has no options for random or shuffle (it does on regualar CDs, but not MP3). It seems like a very simple feature to add. Nonetheless, it is a quality DVD player, I'll just have to purchase something else to play my music.

Summary: Slim yet powerful performer
Review: This replaced an aged Sony DVD player which lacked DVD-R or MP-3 playback. Got this at an attractive price and even got free shipping. Performs quite well although navigating the on screen is a tad less intuitive than on the older model. It also takes a bit loinger to detect the disc type, perhaps essential to good playback. No 5.1 analog connections as I had before, just optical so until I can get the correct optical cable (didn't need this before) I cannot take advantage of the built-in DTS capabilities.

Nevertheless, I can recommend this wholeheartedly! If you burn any of your own discs, this will keep you happy!

Summary: It's too loud. What? I said it's too loud. What?
Review: This seems to be an uncommon complaint, but I have found it in a few places and wanted to reiterate it here for my fellow drive noise suffers so they know they are not crazy. I just got one of these today and the drive is loud. I mean really loud. If you want to recreate the experience of trying to watch a movie on the back of a plane this is the DVD player for you. It may only be 1 out of every 1000 players, but from the online comments I've seen, when you get a loud one, you get a loud one. And I got a loud one. It's going back tomorrow. Otherwise, I generally had the same complaints, the interface sucks and the remote is cheap and missing a few obvious buttons. It's back to the drawing board I guess.

Summary: Sony is finished.
Review: This unit worked for about 1 hour. Then the drive failed. It doesn't even spin up. It's the second Sony failure for me (the first was their slv-350 dvd/vcr combo, which failed within one week of purchase) I've previously owned two other Sony dvd players which worked well and a toshiba portable which also works fine. But if my recent experience is any indication, Sony had better start making some good movies, because their consumer electronics division is going right down the toilet.
