Sony DVP-NS425P Progressive Scan DVD Player, Silver
Another good at first, then.....
The reason why I'm giving this product 2 stars, instead of my gut feeling of 1 star is I'm writing this review the day after this dvd player froze again for the 100th time! I bought this Christmas of 2004. By Christmas of 2005, the problems began, stopping, and or freezing of movies. Cleaning the player with lense cleaner will not do the trick, however a direct hit with the fist will work sometimes!<br /><br />All serious aside, here is the bad:<br /><br />DVD will freeze up for no reason. It will work of and on, but now after experiencing this problem for the past 5 months, it is getting frustrating. To the point where I will not use the machine. This does not make sense to me because I have a CD player of 10 years old, technology wise, it is the same concept and I have never had problems with my CD, or computer with it;s DVD player at all.<br /><br />I would not advise anyone to buy this machine, in the long run you could have this same problem. For the price I'm sure there are other DVD players that will last longer with the same features.<br /><br />The good:<br /><br />Lot's of features for the price, picture quality is great for the average viewer, and the remote control is also great.<br /><br />Recap:<br /><br />I'm dissapointed with another Sony product, I'm a little gun shy in buying another DVD player from them. I would pass on this product if you are reading these reviews, then look for another manufacturer. I'm now going to do the same.
