Summary: The Ulitimate DVD Player!
Review: Considering the average price for most DVD players being only around $39.99 it seems there would be no sense to buying a expensive $200 DVD player unless it had tons of new features.This player does everything a regular cheap DVD player can do and more!Not only can it play DVDs but it can also play CDs as well!Also not only can it hold up to 5 DVDS at a time,but it also allows you to actually switch between discs While one is playing!As if that wasent enough it also features a built in Dolby Digital/DTS decoder and Virtual 3D Surround Sound.A ajustable interface,16.9,4.3 and Fullscreen Viewing options,Several aspect modes including Standered,Dynamic,and Cinema Screen options,and lets you adjust every aspect of your TV,DVDs,and Home Theater Systems.It does not have the Pan and Scan feature,however.There are so many more options that i am just too lazy to mention.The Picture and Sound Quility of this player is exellent.However,the only flaw with this thing is the high freqency sound which sometimes causes ubnormal volume levels.Causing you to have to get up and change the volume more then enough times.Other then that i would say that although it is not the best DVD player on the market.It is full of features that are not available with other DVD Players.

Summary: Top of the Line 5 Disk Changer!
Review: Earlier I had Philips 5 DVD changer and it really disappointed me with not playing most of the disks, I'm really exicted to see the results and the response time on this player. Sony has once again marked its presence by giving a great DVD player. If you are looking for a player with 5 disk capacity then u don't have to think of any other player other than this one! It plays all formats including DVD+R, CD-R, CD-RW, MP3. It produces excellent sound, superb picture. If you have a AV reciever and you want to get the best out of the player then u must connect it with Optical Cable and if u happen to have a progressive scan TV then Component Video Cable is strongly recommended for the ultimate picture quality. With all the features and ease of use, its a overall winner!

The only negetive point i came across is that this player doesn't display the folders in the actual tree form the way they are stored on a disk.

Summary: No digital SACD output.
Review: Great DVD image quality and sound. Love the changer. I was replacing a 1999 Sony player that finally died.

The exciting new feature for me was SACD 5.1 support. Unfortunately it did not work. SACD is not supported through the digital out of this player. Since my Bose Lifestyle supports 5.1 through digtal only I have to play SACD through my tv.

I'm a little upset because I felt this issue was hidden deep in the manual and never would have expected such a limitation.

Summary: Very good cd sound and dvd performance for the price
Review: I bought the unit recently and cds sound better than they ever did before. For the price, imho this unit is hard to beat. And you get all of the advantages of a carousel holding five discs.

DVD picture is also very good.

Summary: Great DVD Player, but limited lifespan
Review: I bought this DVD Player almost a year ago. I bought it to replace the Panasonic 5 Disc changer that I put in my basement. The Panasonic did not have the picture quality that I need given my 55" high definition TV so I thought I'd try a Sony. It worked great for the entire year, but now it won't play any DVDs. About two weeks ago, I started having trouble playing a DVD in one or two of the five disc spots, but if I switched them around, I could get it to work. Now I can't play any DVDs on it. I was very happy with the player and I do use it several times a week, but it should last more than a year.
