Sony DVP-S530D DVD Player
My Sony 530 broke.
I had previously written a positive review of the Sony 530 on 12/9/1999.  Well, my player broke last week.  It would power up, but nothing would respond.  It would just sit there like a lump, and then turn off after 30  seconds.  During this 30 seconds, I could not turn it off, open the disc  drawer, NOTHING.  I returned the 530 to the local boutique store where I  shop, and they let me pay the additional $200 to upgrade to the Sony 650,  5-disc changer.  Why did I stick with Sony?  I own a lot of their products,  have had good luck, and honestly don't think anyone else's DVD players can  match Sony's. So, this is a great player,  let's just hope they are  reliable.
