DVD-Player Reviews

The quality of this DVD player is absolutely amazing. The progressive scan technology looks great even on a normal TV! The sound quality is unmatched and along with Dolby Digital 5.1 there is two sweets that make this deal amazing. The first is Dolby Pro-Logic 2, which is great for watching TVmovies and other nice programing encoded for this format. It is also GREAT for the GameCube which uses Pro-Logic 2 for surround! The best part of this deal is the DTS support!!! DTS for under $200!!!!! When I turn this DVD player to widescreen and then use the 16:9 aspect ratio on my 32" Flat CRT TV the quality is similar to HDTV!! Make sure when you get it and you are using a 4:3 display to change the setting on the system to tell it that you are using 4:3 otherwise it will default to wide and it will look bad on your TV!! Great buy!

Samsung has proven it is among the elite in the field of home entertainment with its astonishing line of high definition, projection and plasma TVs. When it comes to home theatre systems, Samsung has shown potential with its fully loaded HT-DB6000. The HT-SK6; an even better model, comes with progressive scan, powerful speakers, and great user comfort...read full details @ Bytesector.com

I recently purchased this, and let me tell you...big things come in small packages. This has to be one of the best mid-range DVD players on the market. With the built in Dolby Digital decoder, this is an added plus. The thing that caught me was the size. I have mine on top of the VCR and it is almost half the size and weight! I would definately recommend this if you want a good player at an affordable price.

Makes perfect DVD copies of home movies recorded on VHS or
8mm. Includes a firewire port for making perfect copies of
mini DV camcorders. I only record in the Fine mode yielding
about 1 hr per 4.7 GB DVD-R. Also records to DVD-RW if you
want to reuse the disc over and over. DVD-R seems to be the most backward-compatible format if you wish to share those home movies with friends. Manual is very informative, but these
machines are fairly complicated compared to VCRs. Excellent
value!

My beautiful wife surprised me with the Sony DVP-FP41MS this Christmas and I love it.

For AUDIO JUNKIES, the MP3 playback is a great feature, but there are lots of DVD players that will do that now. It's great for us because it means I can burn an MP3 cd and play it in the house, in the car and in my laptop at school. If you go all the way and run the audio outs to your home stereo like most folks do now, you will appreciate how much more fun cleaning the house is once you can put in ONE SINGLE MP3 MIX cd and CRANKING IT UP while doing your chores. Swiffering the living room was never any fun until you had the soundtrack to your life going in the background

For PHOTO JUNKIES, the most amazing feature is is the PHOTO playback, both TIFF's and JPEG's. I love that we can now just slip in a photo CD-R or CD-RW and sit on the couch and scroll through the memories. The F41MS even has a rotate function so you no longer have to rotate your photos before burning them to a cd, which will probably save you enough time every year to get out and take enough pix to fill up a few more cd's per year with enough memories to give you plenty of warm fuzzies in your golden years.

Oh, yeah, for the DVD junkies who might actually get around to watching a DVD with it, the performance is amazing. It works great as a plain jane, simple old DVD player, as well. It has many functions that we have come to expect in a high end DVD player today, such as angle and subtitle, for the xenophiles among us. The remote is small and will work with most TV's, so you can eliminate one existing remote, which is a gift from the gods of remote controls (oh, thank you, wife-of-mine, for that precious extra 4 sq. inches of coffee table space).

For BEAUTY JUNKIES, those of us who appreciate finding beauty in useful tools, you will quickly appreciate how well function follows form in most Sony products, but especially so in the DVP-F41MS. It looks arrestingly futuristic filed in your entertainment center standing as a bookend beside your DVD collection, seeming more like a shiny schoolbook from the year 2040 than simply a DVD player. Be very aware that the beauty of this machine also works against it in some situations, like those involving children. Because it looks so great and is shiny kids REALLY want to touch it. You can't blame them, everyone wants to pet this babydoll. Something takes over there bodies and tells them that this must be a great toy, which it is for GROWN FOLKS, so they MUST TOUCH IT, which makes everyone nervous. Suffice it to say that, like all Sony products that I have dealth with, the F41MS is pretty durbale.

All in all, the BEST MULTI-FUNCTION DVD player out there. In this day and age YOU DON'T HAVE TO HAVE A DVD PLAYER, BUT IF YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE ONE, YOU MIGHT AS WELL HAVE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL ONE MADE YET!!!

If you want a very capable, extremely beuatiful DVD player but don't really want the ability to bore your friends and relatives with thousands of photos at a time, then you could go for the less expensive Sony PSYC or the Sony DVP-F25 for considerably less.

I bought this product couple of weeks back, and it's beautiful. Plays MP3, SVCD, DVD +/- R/RW without a hitch. I love it. It's excellent value for money. It also has Digital Optical out, so it's cool if you have a HTR which accepts it!

I love it and for the price and value would highly recommend it!

Greetings,

Here is a quick positive review on Sony's DVP-NS415S. I've owned this player for a month and I also have a DVP-NS315 setup now for over 3 months.

1. CONNECTIVITY SOLUTION. This player has a particularly nice option that I haven't seen on other entry level players: passive A/V inputs. This is the main reason why I purchased this dvp. I use it on a small 20" sony bedroom tv that only has 1 set of inputs. This allows me to daisy-chain my VCR and DSS.

2. GREAT FUNCTIONALITY. I find this player to have that Sony level of congruity that I enjoy. MP3s have a nice menu and are easy to play, you have multiple choices for DVD video quality, and it can play a well-worn DVD without a problem.

The only cavaet I should tell you is that this is an 'entry-level' player only... meaning that you will not have a very robust suite of digital input/output options nor Progressive Scan capability as with another higher-priced unit.

I recommend this entry-level player for TV's with only 1 set of inputs.

If there is a DVD Player to buy this is the one! I love the quality of the picture on our TV when we watch DVDs. This product also comes with VCD and that is great sense I have so many of them. This is the best product I have ever bought from Amazon.

This peace is refining of S700 - i have one. Video is superb, audio is very very good. The strong point is that it plays audio CD's very good as well. The only competitors are Sony 7700 and Pioneer 717. Other cheaper models/brands can't beat its video and especialy sound qualities.

I just bought this thing from Amazon and all I can say is WOW!!!!

This is probably the best purchase I have ever made. This thing is everything I ever expected and more!! It's easy to use as well - even my wife can operate it!

I have to say, everyone out there who is thinking of buying this, stop thinking. I bought it and I am extremely happy with it the moment I powered this thing on. YOU ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY CANNOT GO WRONG WITH THIS PURCHASE! I GUARANTEE IT!!!
