Summary: NO OPTICAL DIGITAL OUTPUT!
Review: The write up from Amazon.com specifically states there is a optical digital output from this player. THERE IS NOT. I won't even hook it up. I will be returning it to Amazon asap!

Summary: Slim design, Sony reputation, a few missing features
Review: This is a basic player with the Sony name and quality. Good picture, simple but functional remote, easy to operate. This was a replacement for my DVP-S330, which after a few years of loyal service finally gave out. Unit feels solid and well-made. It is not a progressive-scan unit, does not support WMA or JPEG, but does support DVD-R and DVD-RW, which were my main care-abouts. If you have a progressive-scan-capable TV, you probably aren't looking for an $89 DVD player anyway. It has a very slim design if space is a concern. As far as single-disc players go, you are certainly paying something for the Sony name, since you can get a JVC or Panasonic unit with more features for the same price. If you are partial to Sony and don't need WMA or JPEG support, go with this one.

Summary: Almost perfect DVD player!
Review: This is an almost-perfect DVD player. In the first week of using it, though, I did get a "video stuttering" problem for a few seconds when playing a brand new DVD. In the subsequent weeks, though, I haven't seen this problem. This DVD player is quiet, slim, sleek, and has more than enough features that I'm looking for in a DVD player. I recommend this unit to just about anybody who's looking for a reasonably-priced, high-quality, jam-packed with features DVD player. Note: If you have HDTV (I don't), you'll want to go with Sony's progressive scan unit instead, which gives even higher quality for HDTV sets. That model # is DVP-NS725P.

Summary: No optical output!
Review: This unit does not have an optical output as claimed! I had such high regards for the Sony brand that I'm shocked that they would even consider removing the optical output.
