Summary: Great Product, Super Image, Easy to Set Up A+++++
Review: 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!!!!

Summary: Great "entry level" player
Review: 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.

Summary: Don't Buy Sony Products
Review: Sony products are garbage. A $200 player that breaks after 2 years, almost to the date, and costs $130-170 to repair is a joke. Sony should be ashamed of themselves. I have Pioneer and Toshiba equipment that I have been using for 10+ years, that has never needed anything. A DVD player that breaks after 100 uses is trash.

Summary: Good basic DVD player
Review: We've had this player for a short time, but it works flawlessly, providing all the functionallity you would expect. This is the low-end model, but the only obvious missing feature is the analog 5.1 surround output. Unless you have a receiver that requires that, don't worry about it. (I firmly believe that the surround sound decoding belongs in the receiver, for use by multiple components.) One thing you can't do with Sony DVD players is play CDs that you make yourself with a CD-R drive. So forget about custom audio CDs and video CDs. You'll need a DVD player with a separate laser for CD playback to use CD-R media.

Summary: Good DVD player
Review: Okay, first I have the s360 model. I got it when it first came out, around 1999-2000 i think. Everything works fine but like one reviewer said, the player somtimes dont read the disc and displays c 13 dirty disk code. But I found this problem arises when you play non-american or garage burnt DVDs. I didnt clean the lens for many years, but few months ago I used a dvd lens cleaner kit. Since then I haven't encounter any c 13 code. Overall this DVD still works like a charm and has provided many years of heavy use. I would give this DVD player a 5 but it was really expensive at the time so minus 1.

Summary: STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLAYER! (Also the S360 model)
Review: If you want to spend over $200 on a dvd player that will crap out in less than 2 years, by all means buy this piece of <expletive omitted>. I think using faulty parts (which Sony did) is a ploy to either make more money in repairs (between $130-175...may as well buy another one) or get people to buy their more expensive models. I, for one, am never buying any Sony products again and am boycotting them.

Summary: Sony DVD DVP-330 and 360 dies young; dissapoints millions
Review: Two stars:
One star because CD's will play in it just fine, every time.
(Cold comfort when what you paid for was a _DVD_ player) A second star because the unit _will_ eventually play DVD's. (NOTE: the following tongue-in-cheek rant is based on actual experiences with the SONY DVP-360 model. Sadly, these processes, in combination with random knocks to the case of the player, will actually make it play a DVD.) ****************BEGIN QUOTE****************
* FLASH * SONY ANNOUNCES MANUAL ADDENDUM FOR THIS MODEL Investigations into unreliability and problems with the DVP-330 and DVP-360 models of DVD players produced by Sony have revealed alomost universal media mis-handling on the part of end users.
It would seem that the end users were playing DVD's by simply inserting the media into the media tray and closing it. Users are asked to use the following instructions instead. NOTE: If you fail to plan, you plan to fail. Plan on starting thirty minutes to an hour _BEFORE_ you wish to view your movie, and your evening will be a pleasant one. 1: Insert the media and close the door. The disc will not be recognized at first, but this is a special SONY feature!
2: Eject the disc and inspect it for scratches or fingerprints. Finding none, re-insert the media and wait for the error message again. This should take no more than thirty seconds at a time. ( IF YOUR PLAYER TAKES LONGER THAN 1 MINUTE TO DISPLAY THE ERROR MESSAGE, THEN CONTACT SONY IMEMDIATELY FOR EXPENSIVE REPAIRS)
Repeat steps 1 and 2 until the error message goes from "NO DISC" to "C-00-13-00-00-00-00-00". Shame on you for buying inferior, pre-smudged DVD's, but you are getting close. The player has now officially recognized the media as DVD media. You'll be enjoying your favorite summer blockbuster in about twenty more minutes. If more than thirty minutes have passed, you will need to "warm-up" the player with another disc. There is obviously something wrong with the manufacturing of the disc you are trying to play. _MAYBE_, just MAYBE, another will warm the player up and you'll be able to play this one afterwards. If you're lucky. But, hey, we're SONY, so go screw yourself and buy another P.o.S player from us. (It's cheaper than repairs (quote from Sony themselves)). Why should we stand behind our consumer lines?
Yours respectfully,
Your pals at SONY ****************END QUOTE**************** C'mon, folks: Is thirty minutes to an hour pleading with un-reliable, unsupported hardware such a big sacrifice to have the prestige SONY brand sticking outta your cabinet? U N R E L I A B L E Come to think of it, I take one of my stars _back_! Thanks, Sony, for making my first DVD-Player purchase a screaming night-terror headache.

Summary: Don't buy an inexpensive Sony DVD Player
Review: I have the DVP-S360 and, after about a year, it started to freeze and skip (even on brand-new DVD's). Google confirms this is a widespread problem. I'm shopping for a replacement now, and it will NOT be a Sony.

Summary: Avoid This Player
Review: Years ago, Sony was the cream of the crop. Now it's just just high-priced junk. I've been through two Sony VCRs (one doesn't rewind worth a damn and one shoots the tape halfway across the room when you eject it).
About six months after I bought this DVD player, the fron display stopped working. It wasn't a huge deal since I was always sitting too far away to read it anyway. It was irritating though to have paid for a Sony, expecting reliability and having something break.
The last straw was this weekend, though.
Like many people, my Sony DVD player has now decided to not recognize a disc, no matter what kind of disc is inserted. When mine died, I started looking on the Internet to find out about the problem and found that it's a common problem with this model and that Sony doesn't want to acknowledge it. They'll offer to repair the player, but it will probably cost you more than a new one.
Apparently, Sony is resting on its laurels and assuming that people will continue to pay good money for worthless products. I will not buy another Sony product and I sincerely recommend avoiding this unit unless you can find it for less than $10 somewhere. And even then, it's overpriced.

Summary: Don't buy this DVD Player
Review: I own many Sony products (TVs, Walkman, etc..) and most last for years without any problems. This DVD player stopped recognizing DVDs about 1 month after the warranty ended. I called Sony, who basically said all I can do is send it in for service, which according to Sony, would cost more than a new DVD Player. I pointed out that many other people have had this problem, and that the design is defective. They had "no comment". I'm going to buy a different brand DVD player and will think before buying Sony again.
