Sony DVP-NC85H/S HDMI/CD Progressive Scan 5-Disc DVD Changer, Silver
I love it! - But man is it slow opening up.
I wasn't crazy about getting a five disc player- I preferred a quality single player, however, none were available in black offered by Sony with the features I wanted. <br /> <br />So I purchased the SONY DVP-NC85H a few month's ago at list price, (something I usually never do)  $150. plus tax & shipping, simply because of the reviews I read. <br /> <br />The player is amazing, in that it NEVER skips, it plays every format out there. The picture is excellent and the player also offers HDMI, (no wire is included though) for televisions offering the same. <br /> <br />I even enjoy the five disc changer, as I put in multiple disc more often than I thought I ever would. And the changer preforms well and of course one can exchange DVD's in the player while another one is playing. <br /> <br />The player offers a nice memory of where you left off (or stopped) playing each discs and asks if you want to begin from where you left off or start from the beginning. <br /> <br />The on screen menu is very good. <br /> <br />Now the cons: The Sony SONY DVP-NC85H is the slowest opening player ever. And turning it on from the player itself it reads a silly \\"welcome\\" display when you simply just want it to OPEN! The speed changing disc in the player is only fair. <br /> <br />The player doesn't offer SACD, so I kept my Sony NS75V DVD player exclusively for SACD. <br /> <br />The remote is adequate exactly like the NS75V remote, except it doesn't have the capacity to control A/V amps or receivers as the NS75V does and the button's on the DVP-NC85H take a little getting used to. <br /> <br />The DVP-NC85H display is a bit dull, but again, adequate. <br /> <br />The players controls are basic & minimal and not easily read. <br /> <br />But all the cons are relatively small compared to the DVP-NC85H performance, which is fabulous (besides how slow it opens) and what one really buy's the player for, QUALITY! <br /> <br />You can always buy a $39. dollar player at CostCo...However, when you buy the DVP-NC85H you'll see why it's worth the bucks. <br /> <br />I love it! But man is it slow opening up. <br /> <br /> <br />
