Sony DVPNS70H HDMI Single Disc DVD Player

Product Description

Includes a remote control with limited TV control compatible with many but not all major brands, A/V cable, & 2 AA batteries. Sony DVP-NS70H Home DVD Player - HDTVs are capable of displaying extremely detailed, hi-resolution video. While current DVD movies can't achieve that, this DVD player will upscale your DVD movies to the 720p or 1080i HDTV signal formats. Giving you the best possible picture on your HDTV. Another feature that keeps the video looking it's best, is the HDMI connection. Unlike other connections, HDMI keeps both the audio & video signals completely digital, from DVD player to TV. Also, by transferring both audio & video, you have less cabling to deal with, which is always a good thing. 12-Bit Video DAC with 108Mhz Processing JPEG Picture Viewing via CD-R, CD-RW, DVD+RW, DVD+R, DVD-R, DVD-RW, or Kodak disc VCD & SVCD Support via CD-R or CD-RW discs A/V Sync 192 kHz 24-Bit Digital to Analog Converter Dolby Digital and dts Coaxial Output Outputs - 1 HDMI, 1 Component Video, 1 S-Video, 1 Composite, 1 Coaxial Audio Digital, 1 Optical Audio, & 1 RCA Audio Custom Parental Control - 40 Discs Child Lock (Tray Lock) DVD/CD Text Multi-Disc Resume - 6 Discs TV Virtual Surround - 5 Surround Modes Custom Picture Mode Title & Chapter Viewer Advanced SmoothScan(TM) and SmoothSlow modes Instant Replay & Instant Search Full 3-2 Reverse Conversion Fast Play with Audio Slow Play with Audio Video Equalizer Background Graphics Variable Coefficient Filter Color - Silver Unit Dimensions - 17 x 2 1/6 x 9 1/3 Unit Weight - 4 lbs. 7 oz.

Amazon.com Product Description

Enjoy amazing DVD playback from the single-disc, progressive scan Sony DVPNS70H multi-format player, which up-scales video to high-definition (1080i/720p) resolution and transmits high quality audio through a High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI). It's compatible with DVD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW, and CD-R/RW disc formats as well as MP3 audio and JPEG image formats.

The fast/slow playback with sound and AV Sync feature allows for the alignment of the audio track to match the video through some Televisions that have video buffers or delays. The Precision Drive 3 System compensates for flawed and warped discs by moving the lens-instead of the entire optical block for faster and more accurate error correction. Other features include virtual surround sound, a 12-bit video DAC (digital to analog converter) with 108 MHz processing, fast/slow playback with sound and AV Sync, and Precision Cinema Progressive technology.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent Quality and Performance for the Price!.......2007-06-01

I bought this over a year ago from Etronics and have been very happy. I had it hooked to a Sony KV-27HS420 before switching it to my recent purchase: a Sony KD-34XBR970. The NS70H is slim and light, very easy to connect(at least to another Sony product)and is simple to operate. I don't have it connected via HDMI but am still happy with the picture quality. I imagine it would be better with HDMI but oh well. I don't rent movies that often anyway. Some have mentioned they don't like a single disc DVD player but I don't mind. Anyhow, if you're looking for a sturdy, no frills DVD player the Sony NS70H is certainly worth the money.

1 out of 5 stars "High failure rate" spin motor (Player died after 10 months).......2007-03-28

Pros: Beautiful picture, adequate menu options, remote has reasonable button layout.

Cons: Slow, takes about ten to twelve seconds to open the DVD tray after you hit the eject button. After working fine for ten months, it quit--just kept saying LOADING - LOADING - LOADING.


I do electronics repair, so I opened the unit and found that the DVD spin motor had failed. This DVD player uses a RF-300F-12350 motor, which has a high failure rate. I can replace my motor for under $15 in about 10 minutes, but if you don't do your own small electronics repair, you may have to pay a repair shop $90 or more to get the unit fixed, which is more than what you might pay for a brand new DVD player.

5 out of 5 stars Top of the Line.......2006-08-05

This is the clearest DVD player I've ever seen/used. Even desperate housewives on DVD was a visual pleasure with this DVD player. Colors are EXTREMELY vibrant, and upconversion to HD quality on a 42 inch HD plasma is just amazing every time.

This is THE DVD player to own in my opinion. However, I HIGHLY recommend a quality HDMI cable for it...you want the highest level of connection possible from this unit, its worth the extra 30 bucks for the cable.

4 out of 5 stars IT WORKS, BRAVO D1 OFTEN DID NOT.......2006-05-18

At least this thing turns on, turns off, plays movies and has a remote that makes sense. I replaced by Bravo D1 player which was trouble from the start and got worse until it finally fried itself out and succumbed to failure with no apparant reason. It is worth the price especially if you are waiting to move to HD DVD or Blueray and want a decent upconversion player. The remote is easy to use and the player is very small. making for a fit in a wide variety of installations. Sony does it again- decent, affordable and hopefully reliable.

5 out of 5 stars Great DVD player for recorded DVD+R DL media.......2006-04-18

Plays all recorded media like a champ. Previous to this DVD player, I was not able to play anything but DVD+R's on my Toshiba DVD player. Very pleased.

    4 out of 5 stars Happy with the drive.......2007-11-06

    I've had no problems with this drive except for the loose fitting connections on the rear of the unit. I've not used the back-up software that came with the drive. I've used both the Windows Vista back-up program and third party software with no problems. I was sad to find that Western Digital no longer manufactured the drive soon after I made my purchase and would have rated it with five stars because of this fact as well as the connection problem.

    1 out of 5 stars Unreliable& undependable backup drive.......2007-10-28

    Number of reviews have been written about the problems with this drive. my addition;
    Drive and configration is unreliable, as a backup drive, it is not dependable. I bought two, one failed out of the box, the other is margional. If the drive failes to connect through USB to the system as disk drive, the software backes up the information on the C drive. Assume your C drive fails, backup you thought you bought is non existant. The reliability of the configration is many times worse then internal hard drive, and it has a questional backup software.

    I tried to get Western digital to help, I would have been glad to pay additionl money to understand the problem and have this beautifully packaged drive to work. No such ideas were forth comming. Enough, enough?????????????.

    1 out of 5 stars Bad electrical, died within 4 months.......2007-09-19

    It's a great drive as long as it works. Mine started behaving erratically and I thought the OS wasn't recognizing it. After much troublshooting, the drive told me what the problem was. It's the case, the connection to the drive inside. I am buying a new case and hoping I can still use the drive.

    So my buying the extended warranty was a waste of money. I can return the drive, but I lose 200G of data. I void the warranty by opening up the case and trying to save the drive, but it's worth the gamble.

    I bought 2 of these, months apart, and they both developed problems. I loved them while they lasted, but I got lemons.

    2 out of 5 stars poor customer service, buttons don't work, incompatible with vista.......2007-07-11

    I have owned the dual-option combo drive for about a year. The buttons to back up have never worked. I see that WD is aware of this problem. I just bought a new computer only to learn that the combo drive is not compatible with Vista. I've contacted WD and they have offerred only useless automated replies. Phone support is only availble for $15!!!! DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT for 3 reasons:
    1. Bad customer service (no phone)
    2. Buttons don't work (unless you download a fix)
    3. Incompatible with Vista

    4 out of 5 stars Firewire and USB Western Digital 250 GB external hard drive.......2007-06-27

    A great external firewire hard drive especially for storing video and audio files as well as photos. Fast access both read and write. Easily installed and comes already formatted.

        The unusually large maximum aperture of f2.8 gives you high-definition close-ups and more detailed nighttime shots. The optical material used in this new lens is constructed of lead-free and arsenic-free ecological glass. This model is dedicated to Minolta AF SLR cameras.
