Sony DVP-NS975V Up-Scaling DVD/CD/SACD Player
Great while it lasts . . . but it doesn't
I bought this player on 12/20/2004 and have used it heavily until last night, 5/28/2006, when it inexplicably just quit on me.  Online research has revealed that this unit suffered widespread firmware issues.  Mine is now out of warranty and I can pay $182 to have it exchanged for a refurbished unit \\"of comparable value\\" or $133 to ship it out for repair.  No thanks, Sony. <br /> <br />It's too bad - it really was a great player while it worked but I'm not going to sink $133 more into technology that is two years old.  My last Sony player cost less than this one and was eventually replaced after 4 years just because it was so old school (non-progressive).  What's up with that, Sony?
