Sony DVP-NS775V DVD/CD/SACD Player
I have been saved!
After converting over 300 VHS tapes to DVD+RW format, I thought my efforts would go completely to waste as my computer (PowerbookG4) and three DVD players (including my Philps 585) refused to play about half of my collection without skips, freezes, or complete failures. <br /> <br />Finally, in desperation, I bought the Sony 775.  It plays anything and everything without any skips or freezes.  Even problem discs that fialed on other players came to life without so much as a hiccup.  Precision Cinema 3 is fantastic.  And the audio!  When you set the unit to enhanced audio it BOOMS through my home theatre system! <br /> <br />The only drawback I have noticed is that some films, converted from VHS, have excessive pixelation when the screen changes quickly.  This degradation in quality can be minimized by turning on progressive scan and turning off sharpness controls through the remote.  The remote is also not backlit and in the dark of my home theatre it is harder to use.  Even so.... <br /> <br />This is a great product and it has added at least ten years to my life through reduced stress. <br /> <br />EJN <br />Fairfax VA
