The player is a great improvement over standard DVD players with analog feeds. DVDs played with a picture quality rivaling HDTV. However, the unit is kaput after one year of occasional service.
Nice dvd player for the money. Still wouldn't mind a blue ray but for the price they want forget it. Near 1080p is good enough for me for the time being.
Like Sony and chose it over blu-ray as I understand the upconvert function gives you near blu-ray quality.
I have used this unit since Dec.2008. and he answered yes. I told him that I could not hear him because of the background noise in his location and he told me he did not have any noise(laughingly).
After trying many other DVDs I gave up to the fact that it is broke for whatever reason.I called Sony to get the warranty work started. times what he said, and he still though it was somehow funny.I stated my problem with the DVD player, and ask him what do I do to get the warranty coverage started and again could not hear or understand what he was saying except for bits and pieces of words now and then. No problems worked fine for four months, then during the middle of a DVD "movie" it stopped showing the movie and started repeatedly scrolling "cannot play DVD".
For him to tell me that I had to ask him three. I reached a gentleman who I never did understand what his name was(the background noise in his location was so bad I could not understand or hear his name) after asking three times. Then I ask what country was he in and I did understand the word "Philippines".
Again, I told him I could not hear or understand him and at that point I could tell that he had become irritated with the situation.I repeated back to him what sounded like to me was a fee I had to pay to get the unit repaired: "I have to pay a $30.00 handling fee". Wow, what if I had paid $1000 for it and now I got to put up with this kind of service.At that point I see it like this: I paid $59.53 plus S&H for a total of $68.53 and now I have to do another $30.00 investment, I don't think so, even tho the unit was on sale.In the end I do not recommend this DVD player to anyone, due to it's short life and the very sorry service Sony is providing, I will replace it with another brand and take my chances.
This is my second Sony DVD upconversion player and the playback quality is outstanding. I transferred my old VHS tapes to DVd's and had playback problems until I put them in this Sony and the quality was very close to original DVD's and no more glitches.
