Sony DVP-NS975V Up-Scaling DVD/CD/SACD Player
What a black eye for Sony
Well I just returned my second DVP-NS975V player due to the same problem as other posters.  DVDs or CDs would not track/initialize and would not allow you to open the disk drawer.  When it was working, it was a fantastic DVD hooked up via the HDMI interface to a Samsung HL-P5063W.  The upconversion for DVDs presented such a clear picture.  The built-in Dolby decoder was also a plus since I owned an older Sony AV receiver that was Dolby Digital-Ready.  There were very few upconversion DVD players available that also had a built-in Dolby decoder.  I ended up purchasing a new AV Receiver and DVD player with a DVI interface - Denon.  I just lost all respect for Sony.
