Plays back self recorded dvd's others won't.......2006-01-21
I record my own dvd's and and tried 2 samples of the Pioneer 588a-s a highly rated player with many features and tried the Panasonic S97S. Both Pioneer players I got from Amazon and the Panasonic mistracked skipped and froze on a number of self recorded dvd-r's on high quality media. This Sony played the same discs back flawlessly without a problem. The CD playback on this unit as well as the mp3 playback is fine with no problems so far.
Better choice than others, good value for the price.......2005-12-11
DECEMBER 10, 2005: I have only had this item for about three weeks or so. I am hoping that it "holds up" over time, unlike a lot of other DVD players on the market that apparently fail so quickly they are practically disposable in nature.
The "pros" on this item (so far) are:
* sleek, slim, uncluttered look of the unit
* comes in either black or silver, so you can match it up to your other devices.
* easy set up. There's a electrical plug, trip-RCA jacks and an S-video jack. Hook-up is a snap. Hardware-wise, the device, then, is really uncluttered.
* seems to be a good deal for the price.
The "cons" (so far) are:
* as said elsewhere by other reviewers... it IS slow. Slow to boot a disc. Slow to re-start a disc that has been stopped. Just slow.
* the display readout on the front of the box. It scrolls words like "welcome," "open" "close" and "no text." The firmware engineer was apparently out to lunch on this one. There's not even a clock display. It will display the time the DVD has played, thank goodness.
*the on-screen menu is pretty lame. Must have been the same engineer. The menu choices are only displayed as cryptic graphics, and the choices for each graphic are brief and uninformative (as in "on, off, auto" or similar types of statements). You will absolutely have to work through the manual to figure it out. And you won't find a lot of useful functionality after you do. It is a pretty bare-bones box.
* The remote control could use a good bit of improvement. The text is large enough to read ... but the buttons barely protrude from the face. You have to grasp this thing firmly, get your finger right on the button and apply a good bit of pressure to score. And a lot of the buttons can't be pushed while the thing is sitting on the coffee table ... the back of the device is beveled at the top, so if you press on the buttons near the top -- common usage buttons like TV on/off, box on/off and open/close -- while it is sitting on a level surface, the thing just flips up in the air. And the range is horrid. It can't handle getting its signal over the edge of my coffee table three feet away from the box. You've got to pick it up and aim it directly at the device if you want the box to respond. There's no facilitation for using the remote at night (no glow in the dark, backlighting, light-through, etc.) AND the remote came in silver. Who at Sony thought that I would want a silver remote if I bought a black box? Was molding cases for the remote in two different colors too big a challenge for them ... or did it just make it easier for Sony to manage its inventory?
* The box has already told me "no disc" incorrectly a couple of times. Jogging it opened and closed resolved the issue. Either the tray is not designed to align the disc 100% when inserted ... or this is an indication the device is going to have read problems down the road. Time will tell.
Still, IF it is quality, IF it is durable, then it's worth what I paid for it.
UPDATE: September, 2006. After owning one for almost a year ... and buying two more this summer ... I can still recommend this unit. Every once in a great while, it gets confused enough so that I have to unplug it from the wall to "reboot it." It has tracked flawlessly on almost every DVD ... just a freeze here and there on some heavily used Netflix rentals. I do not see any evidence of dual-layer freezing. This SKU is out of production, but the current SKU (Sony DVPNS55P) doesn't look much different and so it is probably just as reliable.
Dont know what to think yet.......2005-11-13
I have enjoyed this player so far with the one big exception of the remote control: the eject/close button is mushy and odd enough to make me wonder if I got a defective remote. Does anyone else have this trouble? I have to press and press it to get the thing to work.
Last night, for the first time, a video stopped in mid-play. I tried everything and finally had to unplug the player! I have always been able to work my way around this situation, using the remote (I couldn't even turn the machine off manually!!!).
Great Buy.......2005-11-12
I highly recommend this for style, utility and value. I have one caveat, however. If you intend to hook up this player through an AV receiver, make sure you have an open coaxial digital input, as the player's digital sound output is coaxial, and not optical. My receiver, for example, has three optical inputs and only one coaxial input. I was using my coaxial input for my cable box (which also has no optical output). I had to make a choice about whether I wanted digital sound from the DVD player or from my digital cable television programs.
Great Player.......2005-10-13
After owning dozens of DVD players, I must admit that this unit is the best so far. Easy setup, clean design and easy to use. This sucker plays formats I've never even heard of. With it's extensive menu options it's just fun to play with. Actually, you don't even have to mess with the menu, just take it out of the box and plug it in and it works. I have it hooked up to my surround sound stereo and a 32" LCD HD monitor and have yet to find any faults. Picture is clean, crisp and sharp and the sound is awesome. The MP3 player is flawless. I used the component hookup and digital coaxial hookup for sound. This baby does eveything but the dishes. WELL worth the money. Buy it!

I love mine!.......2007-07-23
I use mine to hold all my music files, and it works just like a portable USB drive! It has been very reliable! I will buy from the brand again in the future!
Served me well.......2007-05-08
I receieved this as a gift, and it was very helpful in cleaning out my PC of all the photos and video files that were eating up space in my hard drive. The portablility is great, because it so small, and does not take up any space at all.
I came back to purchase another one, since I've already used up all the space on this 120GB capacity, and the only reason I may get something else this time is because this portable version does not come in higher capacity. I have 4 PC's and I need more than 120GB to back up all my data.
Otherwise, it worked perfectly and conveniently for my personal and business use.
SimpleTech: SimpleDrive PS 120gb.......2007-02-16
NOT WORTH IT!! The data transfer is fast, but you cannot shut it down & disconnect.
Also: they have ROTTEN CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!! I called customer service & the only thing the tech could recommend was that I SHUT DOWN MY COMPUTER EVERY TIME I want to disconnect. Then he hung up on me as I tried to ask him another question!
Don;t bother with SimpleTech. The SmartDisk Firelite is cheaper (~20.00 cheaper) & works much better!
