Sony DVP NS755V DVD player
The Awesome Sony DVPNS755V
This is my first DVD player, and I couldn't be happier.  The picture quality on our 32\\" Sony Trinitron monitor is superb, but what really blows me away is the sound.  It has onboard Dolby Digital & DTS 5.1 channel decoders, and I have these connected to an A/V Reciever with 5.1 inputs and 5 channels of amplification at 100 watts each.  With front and rear speakers, as well as a center speaker, the surround sound is incredible.  The unit will also play Super Audio CD's (SACD), and three demo SACD's are included with the player.  These not only sound out of this world, but along with the manual allow you to really tweak the system until you have everything just right from an audio standpoint.  The onscreen menue allows for lots of customizing - you tell the DVD player the size, placement, and even the distance from the listening area of each speaker, exactly what you have in the system for amplification, the type of TV, and then the unit is optimized for your exact situation.  It has all the outputs you could imagine including coaxial and optical digital, component video, line out video, and S-video outputs.  I am using the S-video connection to the monitor with excellent results.  You can adjust and cusomize both sound and picture to suit your personal taste.  It would take the entire manual to give you the complete story on this remarkable piece of equipment, but it is an audio/video geek's dream machine.
