Sony DVP-S550D DVD Player
Multiple Players DOA
From what I read/heard, this was the player to have.  The first player received from Amazon didn't recognize DVD disks.  A slight issue.  The replacement player I received caused a oscillating &quot;Brightness&quot;  on the TV that wouldn't stop.  I was like someone was dynamically changing  the setting every 5 seconds.<br />When I contacted Sony to see if there was a  setting I could change, their response was &quot;Sounds Like Amazon has a  bad batch of these players...&quot;  I guess a DVP-S550D that works is  supposed to be specatular.  Good luck in getting one from here.<br />Just FYI,  heading to Sears to buy a JVC and remove all potential issues from this  equation.
