Sony DVP-NS975V Up-Scaling DVD/CD/SACD Player
Great picture while it lasts
I bought this DVD player because it has an HDMI connection.  On a 55-inch flat panel HDTV, the picture exceeded my expectations.  I watched the movie \\"Hero\\" on it and the picture was crisp and the colors were both true and breathtaking.  The player, however, cut off midway through the film.  Fortunately, it relented in its malfunction just long enough to allow me to finish watching the movie.  Afterwards, no matter what disc I put in the player, it erroneously recognized it a \\"multitrack,\\" churlishly refused to play and obstinately locked up.  I did as I recommend all people do who have had the misfortune to adopt children who are churlish, obstinate or should be locked up - I sent it back.    I have replaced this player with the Denon 2910.  Even though this player costs more than twice as much as the Sony, the picture on the Sony was just as good, while it was there . . .
