Summary: Feature Rich
Review: I've been looking and looking and looking for a replacement for my old Panasonic DVD player. This is it. Not only does it play the new formats. It has 2 count them 2 sets audio outputs. This has been my biggest complaint when trying to find a DVD player. I've had a bad experience with my RCA carousel DVD player that had more than one set of audio outputs. The manufacturers seem to think that if you don't want a carousel you don't want to hook your DVD player into your stereo as well as your TV. There are times when you want theatre sound and there are times when you want regular TV. If you feel the same this is the DVD player for you

Summary: You Gotta Get It!
Review: If you're looking for an affordable and reliable progressive scan DVD player, then the Sony DVP-NS715P is the right choice for you. Progressive scan DVD players display the entire video frame in a single sweep for more dynamic picture quality. Connect this DVD player to an HDTV-ready TV for natural filmlike smoothness and detail. It plays DVD video, DVD-R, CD, CD-R and CD-RW. It features TV Virtual Surround, 2 sets of A/V outputs, 10-second instant replay and multibrand remote (operates most TVs).

Summary: Excellent DVD/CD/VCD/MP3 Player
Review: This is a excellent DVD player which is capable of playing all DVDs, CDs, VCDs, MP3s. I was able to burn my home video on a
CD-R as VCD and later was able to watch it using this player. I Love it. I was also able to play my mp3s. The sound distribution is Excellent. For the price and excellent features it has to offer I give it five stars .. only drawbacks of this DVD player is that it cannot play SACDs and it doesnot have a 5.1 channel output.

Summary: Excellent replacement
Review: This is my third Sony DVD player and was bought to replace a poorly chosen Phillips DVD621 (see my related review.) As I had expected from my previous Sony purchases, (S550D, S330) the NS715P continues to meet my needs. The 715 comes with new features, the strongest being Progressive scan. If this will be your first purchase, it may be the best choice you could make in this price range. Features aplenty allow you to set-up playback for most any home theatre. Expect ease of use from both the onscreen display and remote. Fast search and startup time will satisfy the most impatient of us. The only general complaint I have would be for the 5.1 crowd, as the 715 lacks 5 channel output connectivity. However, since I myself personally left 5.1 for optical, have only the gripe that it does not come in a black chassis. This is a fantastic unit at a great price and I would recommend the NS715P to anyone.

Summary: Fantastic Entry Level DVD Player
Review: This player is one of the best DVD players out there for the price. Not only does it feature options that high end players have: such as progressive scan and multi-format playback, but at this price it's a STEAL!

That being said, there is one thing that SONY should have added to this DVD player: the ability to read ID3 tags. Although the player allows you to navigate through an on-screen menu to the song you want, it only displays the title that you give your file on-screen. It does not display the info from the ID tags such as genre, track numbers and artist. However, the player does have the ability to scroll the file name of your song on its front display.

By the way, for those of you who are having problems with playing CD-Rs with MP3 on them, be sure to burn the CD as an ISO 9660 format, level 1 or level 2 or joliet. So far all the media i've placed in the player worked flawlessly.

I've searched the internet and found that Amazon and [their partners] have the lowest price for this player.

Summary: Suspect Reliability
Review: When I purchased this player seven months ago the salesperson quite emphatically suggested I also purchase an optional extended warranty. I should have taken the hint. Having purchased Sony products before without issue, I decided not to accept the offer. This was an unfortunate decision on my part. Shortly after the warranty expired the player stopped reading DVDs. Here's a trick for those of you experiencing similar difficulties; I have found, on occasion, that I can get it to play if I first use a couple of carefully chosen expletives and rap it on it's side.
