Summary: Absolutely great
Review: Very reliable, Sony delivers again. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this player, as I have experienced absolutely no problems with it whatsoever. I've heard mixed reviews on most other basic DVD players, but consensus seems to state that Sony is the best...and, after owning this particular player for months, I definitely agree.

Summary: DVD for me!
Review: I highly recommend owning a DVD player and the Sony DVP-S330 is an excellent choice. This player provides the benefits of DVD at a reasonable price. It has excellent picture clarity and sound. I haven't incurred any of the problems that others who own this model have mentioned in previous reviews. I've even tried DVD rentals and have not had any problems. I'd suggest that if your TV doesn't have multiple s-video connections, you look at installing an s-video "switch" box so you don't have to manually disconnect and reconnect the s-video when you want to watch TV off a satellite.

Summary: You just can't go wrong with this thing...
Review: This is a wonderful DVD player. I am no hardcore enthusiast, but this machine is my dream come true. I was worried for a while after I bought it regarding the syncing problem, but it seems sony has cleared it all up. I really couldn't be happier. The remote is very talented, and plus the machine has all the buttons you need to fully control it without the remote. Fantastic! If you are even considering buying a dvd player, buy this one, you'll be real happy!

Summary: With the right firmware, this is the best of the bunch
Review: I spent a lot of time shopping around for this player, after having a really bad experience with a Panasonic unit. Sony did have a problem with lipsynch on units with some units which had a firmware rev < 1.21. However, most recently-shipped units seem to have resolved this problem, and in most other respects this is a first class unit. Plus, if you do have problems, Sony seems the best-equipped to resolve them in a timely manner. The Pioneer 525, which also seems to have occasional lipsynch problems, still has no firmware upgrade. And Panasonic builds crappy machines which are prone to failure.

Summary: A great DVD for the money
Review: I received this DVD for Christmas and it is great. What adifference between VHS tapes and the DVD's. I've read about some ofthe lip sync problems in the past with the Sony DVD players and I have only experienced this once watching "American Pie". We stopped the movie and pressed play again and the problem did not occur again. Since then we have not seen this problem. I talked to several sales associates at a couple of stores, and this model was recommended as the best to get for a limited budget and for future upgrades such as receivers and surround sound speakers. My wife and I are very happy with this DVD. Do not wait to buy one, get one soon.

Summary: 330 Has Lip Sync Problem
Review: I just contacted Sony's customer service line and found out that all DVP-S330s manufactured before 8/99 have lip sync problems in random players, so make sure your 330 was manufactured after 8/99 otherwise it's a crapshoot. I'm returning mine now. Strangely, Sony has no recall procedure in place because they claim that not every 330 in the batch manufactured before 8/99 has had a problem. I think they should inform the retailers anyway! Well, at least you know now.

Summary: Own Several DVD Players, GET A SONY!
Review: I personally own an older revision of the S550D and recently purchased the S530D for my father as a christmas present. Advantages of this product: Plays more than just DVD. (music, video cd, photo cd, and DVD). Includes multiple outputs, you can connect to TV, VCR, and Home Theater without any wierd wiring. The picture is CLEAR! The pause is Still, It also reads DVDS that most people compained where bad copies when they got them (like matrix). I have friends with other brands, They were penny wise and pound foolish. They have a sony model now.

Summary: Shop practical and let your receiver do the rest !
Review: I purchased the dvps330 and I tell you I could not have made a better choice. I have it connected to the Sony str e725 receiver with built-in dolby digital and the picture and acoustics kick mucho-a$$. Remember all you want is compatibility and digital sound coming through your speakers.So why spend all this excess money on another dvd with features you dont really need, your choice in your receiver should hold its weight. Sony's dvp-s330 is an cut and dry choice.

Summary: No griping - Just buy it
Review: My ideal electronic appliance has just one On/Off button and flawless performance - the DVP-S330 comes closest to this ideal, considering the sophisticated technology behind the front panel. Easy to set up, a breeze to use, and in one shot obsoleting two former remotes (TV set & VHS machine) - what more can you ask for, for not even that much dough?. One nuisance, though: the audio-out level delivers muffled sound, making it a necessity to fiddle with the receiver controls when starting to play a disc -- probably those of us not owning fancy SDDS-receivers-or-whatever gizmos don't deserve sharp sound -- but I'll live with with it. Still worth every penny, excellent value. Anyone looking for an used (also Sony, 1-year old) VHS machine?

Summary: SONY 330 BLOWS EVERYONE AWAY.... EVEN TOSHIBA 2190
Review: 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.
