In progressive mode, the quality of picture form this DVD player approximates the quality of a high-definition player. Reviewers seem to be unaware that a coaxial hookup (Monster makes a good cable) is absolutely essential for optimal performance. The quality can only be as good as the conduit that takes the picture from the player to the television, and this extremely light player, with user-friendly remote, performs better than most.

I highly recommend this player for your collection of non-Blu ray DVDs (and like me, I'm sure you have many of them). Enjoy.

After reading different personal-user reviews on many different products, specifically Sony brand, I decided to read the reviews on a product I have that I bought, which is this Sony DVP/DVD/CD player.

All products have flaws--they are made by humans--who have flaws. I have been comparing, reviewing, and looking very closely at Blue-Ray, HDTV's of LCD and Plasma fame along with "supporting" audio/video products and to tell you the truth this Sony player that I'm writing about does one heck of a job on a 9-year old Sharp 27" tv! Friends who have seen what this dvd player does are just flabbergasted by the picture quality! It goes beyond what it supposed to do and impresses superbly. I have an old Optimus Professional Series A/V reciever, 2-channel, using two 15" Pioneer floor model speakers with a pair of Optimus surround speakers and this setup sounds great! The bashing that I've read here is incredible. You may have gotten that one "lemon" that shows up in every 1 out of 100 basket of apples. I'm not trading mine in, but will get a second dvd player just for the heck of it. Next time you are not satisfied with a product, get another one JUST LIKE IT and see if that helps first.

GREAT DVD player for the last 3 years! Up until this morning it worked flawlessly with no complaints. We too just experienced the "Cannot play disc" message like some others have mentioned. It worked fine last night but would not play this morning. We think that for the money spent this DVD player has held up exceptionally well. The tray was able to take the not so gentle use of our 3 year old, putting her DVD's in and taking them back out repeatedly. (We really thought the tray would give out before the player.) Sometimes the player would be left on all day, repeatedly playing the begining of a DVD for hours. For the price this DVD player is going for now, I would say it's a pretty darn good deal!

I bought this player when I bought my WEGA flat screen led tv. It has worked flawlessly every time I have used it. I would recommend it to anyone that was interested in purchasing it as well as other Sony products as well.

I too have had this player for just over a year and the message reads "cannot read disc" a little internet seaching and you will find an overwhelming number of unsatisfied sony consumers.
I have always bought sony,willing to spend the extra money for quality, but have been very dissapointed recently.
