Sony DVPNS725P Progressive-Scan DVD/CD Player
WARNING: Sony NS Series Uses Cheap Drives!
I have had two Sony NS series players fail on me in a period of 12 months.  After a few months, the drive starts to make grinding noises and will say &quot;Cannot Play Disc&quot; on disks that play just fine in my other DVD player and on my desktop and laptop computers.  For awhile tapping the case a few times causes the player to work again, but once the grinding noises start, it's downhill until the player fails completely.<br />Maybe Sony high-end players are more reliable (I wouldn't know) but the low-end players are a RIP-OFF.  I hate to say this because I have been a loyal Sony customer for years, but after this second failure, I don't know if I'll ever buy Sony again...
