Sony DVPNS75H Single Disc Upscaling DVD Player
Another stellar player from Sony
I must say this player is a marvel to see. The picture to me is just as outstanding as its' predecessors but without any of the NS70H's warts. Everything that was good with the previous model is intact on the this one. It seems to be a tad faster than the than the older one, it's not blindingly fast mind you but it does seem to respond to commands and load the disk a bit quicker.  <br /> <br />I hope folks who buy this unit to integrate with their home audio system take the time to go through the book and menus to set the audio portion correctly. It comes dumbed down in the box with Dolby Digital and DTS turned off. Additionally it's set to 48khz instead of 96khz. Once those three items have been activated this baby produces some of the most outstanding sounds I've heard. I fear most folks will simply buy it, plug it in and hit play never knowing what they are missing. I did confirm that it will pass the 6.1 DD-EX and DTS-ES audio streams also.  <br /> <br />The only real errors Sony keeps making is not providing an HDMI cable (umm why?) and not allowing \\"on the fly\\" resolution changes. You still have to stop the DVD that's playing and migrate through several menu screens to get to the one that allows resolution changes. I suppose you'll most likely only do this once though. You'll put it where you like it and then leave it alone. <br /> <br />The only other minor issue I have is the super bright blue \\"HDMI\\" light that's on all the time when hooked up to a HDMI display.  Sure it can be dealt with with a small piece of duct tape but it would have been better if Sony chose not to put a Xenon bulb in there! <br /> <br />Having been through several upscaling players (Oppo, Samsung, Zenith, RCA) I can honestly say this is best player to date that I've seen. The picture sparkles and the sound is to die for. If you've been on the fence wondering if this is the one to get it's time to get off because you won't find a better player for the money. It's that good.
