Sony DVP-S530D DVD Player
Beware the lip-synch problem
Beware that this model (and apparently the 550) exhibit an intermittent lip-synch problem where the sound gets a fraction of a second out of  synch with the video, making it look like a  poorly dubbed foreign  movie.<br />Sony's warranty center confirms this problem but as yet offers no  solution to owners such as myself.<br />The Amazon review guidelines say I'm  not allowed to include a URL in the review, so you'll have to search for  the smr-forums web page yourself.  Forum 6 contains topics on the 530 and  550 that discuss this lip-synch problem.<br />I've watched about 5 movies so  far and this problem has happened twice. This problem aside I think the  player is fine. The digital audio decoding and auto audio track selection  are all that you could want, and the virtual 3d is a fun addition if you  only have 2 speakers. The remote can be programmed to run other  manufacturer's TVs. Because playing a dvd requires using arrow keys for  menu selection, it can be challenging to make your existing universal  remote useful with this or any dvd player.
