Sony DVPNS75H Single Disc Upscaling DVD Player
Very good DVD player
This player has amazing picture quality. The 1080i upconvert via HDMI offers stunningly clear pictures even on low quality home recorded VCD quality movies. <br /> <br />I tried several media DVD+R, DVD-R, mp3 DVD, mp3 CD and all kinds of unbranded DVD media. This player just played everything without a problem. My previous player used to play these media but skipped/froze/pixellated a lot. Though the player's manual doesn't say anything about mp3 DVD, it is surely capable of playing these.  <br /> <br />Its remote control has a surprisingly wide angle of operation. I am not sure if it is the way it is located on my component rack, but I get operation from almost 90 degrees. <br /> <br />The audio output is available simultaneously from HDMI and optical out. I watch upconverted picture via HDMI but listen to sound via the optical out connected to the home theater receiver. The video out is also available simultaneously via component out and HDMI. I haven't used the component out for video since HDMI is so much better. <br /> <br />I would have given it 5 star rating but for minor things that I personally didn't like. For example, to go into setup menu, I have to press Display key on remote which I keep forgetting. I always search for a Setup key. The player is bit slow to respond to Eject command and power on commands. I also do not like the display on the setup menu. Sony could have made it better. <br /> <br />Finally wish list. I wish Sony would have incorporated Divx/Xvid compatibility in this player.
