Plays like it should.......2007-12-25
I've only had it for one weekend, but I am happy with it, and have become familiar with all of the features. Learning curve on all of the setup options aren't too tough to figure out with the good printed manual.
I love the thin profile. It is only about 2" tall. Looks sharp and doesn't take up too much space in my crowded audio pier.
It does what it was made to do: it plays DVDs well. Picture is sharp on my 106" projection screen. As good or better than other players I've owned. Color is good and image is sharp and bright. Like other reviews have stated, it is a bit slow to load.
It is nice to have the option to use HDMI, especially since the player will output the 5.1 digital signal through the HDMI cable along with the video signal. Fewer wires are always good. Buy a cheap HDMI cable at amazon along with the unit rather than going to a store. HDMI cables are very overpriced at most brick and mortar stores (a decent cable should not be over ~$15). HDMI is full digital, not analog, so a signal is a signal. Monster cables don't matter with digital signals.
The player comes with the useless triple RCA yellow-red-white composite cable that is good only for very poor quality video. You will need to buy a good quality component cable or an HDMI cable.
I can't speak to the up-scaling because I'm using it with my 480p theatre projector. I didn't try it with my HD monitor. Honestly I can't imagine why it would be any better than letting the monitor/television upscale it for you. HD monitors upscale 480p signals fine.
The one thing I don't like is the same thing I don't like about every player I've ever owned. When DVDs end they return to the menu and repeat forever, while the motor continues to spin the disc. You only have to turn off the monitor and amplifier to make the mistake of allowing the thing to run for hours/days looping the menu over and over. Why manufacturers can't make machines that will shut down after a few repeats of the menu is beyond me (or allow the menu to exist in a small RAM chip where it doesn't have to spin the disc infinitely). This is how my last two players died. Make sure it is really off or it will die in no time.
A good player. Not a great value at $90, but not terrible. You can get a nearly identical Sony player without HDMI for $20-$30 less. Decide whether HDMI connectivity is worth $25 before you go with this one.
Good for now.......2007-12-24
This DVD player is a good value and has the HDMI jack which goes well with my Sony Bravia. I will wait to see who wins the DVD HD format (Blue Ray or HD/DVD) & then upgrade.
Great DVD player for the price.......2007-12-24
This is a great little DVD player that will upconvert (HDMI cable required) all by itself. It works very well with my harmony remote too. The best part is that it offers fiber-optic output for audio.. so for the first time I am getting true 5.1 surround instead of the onkyo make believe kind. The remote is a run of the mill sony device that hasnt been updated in about a decade. I dont use it (get a harmony, they are AWESOME)!
Why not 5 stars? its a bit on the slow side and the automatic resume function is not as easy to use as you might think. I dont expect (and I wouldnt use them..) cables to come with anything like this, so no points lost for that issue.
All in all, I like it and I would buy it again
Good functionalty, except for very poor controls.......2007-12-22
Like many components made nowadays, this unit is handsome, but not very functional in design. The controls are hidden, and are black, just like the entire front. The tiny symbols on the keys are invisible unless the room is well lighted and the viewer is very close, and the user must be above the level of the player to read the symbols, because they are only on the upward-facing surfaces.
In the dark, nothing at all is operable. There are not even any distinctive parts which one could feel by touch. So, all in all, this control set-up must have been designed by modern artists (as of the 1960s), not by engineers with any practical sense; and I guess that alternative designs were never tried out in practice.
There is a remote control (yes, another remote control to clutter your room), but it also does not work in the dark without a flashlight.
I guess that Sony should not be singled out for these failings, because most modern entertainment equipment is similarly designed to look good, but be impossible to use under normal operating conditions (i.e., in a darkened room). Ultimately, I guess that we tasteless and impractical customers are to blame.
This unit does play, and seems to work well. Once you get it going, you can then turn down the lights and watch, but be prepared to get up and run around turning on the lights if you wish to operate the controls.
A Great Value for an Upconverting DVD Player.......2007-12-21
I have the HDMI output from this upconverting DVD player connected to my Panasonic TH-50PX77U 720p Plasma HDTV. Outstanding picture quality from regular DVDs. The Sony works great, has some nice features, and you can't beat the price.

Customer Reviews:
Was nice and functional, but broke under light use!.......2007-08-01
I was pleased with the holster. It was functional and it would accommodate the large battery (all of the holsters don't work with the large battery). But after a week or so of light use, the holster cracked and broke where the swivel attaches to the holster. As my son also had one break (in a different place), I guess I won't be replacing it.
