Sony DVP-S530D DVD Player
They Blew It &amp; They Know It.
I'm a SONY freak. From my XBR projection set to my pro-DV cameras at work, it's all SONY.  I love the company but they, like anyone else, can drop the ball once in a while.  The lip-sync problem gets worse as time goes on  because newer DVD releases employ the latest MPEG-2 codes which these  players were not properly set-up to decode.  So SONY will now pick-up via  FED-EX any 530-550 player still under warranty and install a new processor  chip and firmware and deliver it back home within 2-3 weeks free of charge.   (Not Bad, right!) However, a buddy of mine had this done and it still has  the lip-sync problem!   Oh Nooooo!  ..as Mr.Bill would say.  <br />Not sure  what I'm going to do.  My player is 3 months old.  One other thing, this  player will not play CD-R and CD-RW discs, the new PIONEER 626D's will. You  may want to look into this one.  I wish I did.  Good luck out there!
