Sony DVP-S530D DVD Player
Bad Acting? No. Bad-DVD player!
Eventhough I read the reviews on this site prior to buying my 530D, I figured the sound synchronization  problem (see other reviews below) would've been corrected by mid-September. Alas, after a week of using my  Sony, the sound synchronization gremlin was in full bloom during 'True  Lies.' And I just thought Tom Arnold had no timing in his acting. Anyway, I  find this trait annoying and inexcusable in a $400 player.<br />So, instead of  repairing it (and cancelling an Aliens DVD marathon for this evening), I'm  returning it and ponying up another $100 for the 550-D because I'm a sucker  (and it has additional features that I want anyway).<br />For neophyte DVDers  considering taking the plunge: The picture is worth it! The sound is worth  it! And not rewinding a VHS tape makes my time more valuable. Don't  wait--get into DVD!!<br />As for the 530-D, wait a couple months till the bugs  are fixed. Otherwise, a fine, fine player.
