 Best of the Pure DVD Players June 23, 2008
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
I have gone through several DVD players and determined that Sony is consistently the best brand in terms of quality. I recently purchased they Sony DVP-NS700 as a last minute replacement for my Toshiba dual VHS/DVD player. Unfortunately the Toshiba developed the same malady as my previous Toshiba, which was the same affliction as my initial Philips Magnavox. The problem with these previous players was that they sometimes struggled with some DVDs. Random chapters would freeze or become choppy sometimes loosing the soundtrack all together. For a while I blamed this peculiarity on blemished DVD surfaces or laser-reader head needing cleaning. The truth of the matter was that the laser-reader units in other brands were just not up to tolerances in Sony products. For DVDs failing to operate correctly on other machines I would often retry them on my old reliable Sony player. Sure enough, in most cases, the DVDs would play perfectly.
Our upstairs Toshiba experienced the above-mentioned glitches on a regular enough basis that my son was concerned that his long planned DVD movie get-together would be ruined. In searching for a replacement I stumbled onto the DVD-only machines. Slim, lightweight, and affordable I was able to buy the DVP-NS700 to supplement the living room's sometimes ailing system. Instead of a 100 percent replacement I simply put the new machine on top After I hooked up the player I tried some of the known troubled DVDs on the machine as a test. All played without issue.
The only regret I have about installing the new player is that my two-year old Panasonic HD television does not have a dedicated HD cable hookup. As such I was forced to use the standard three-wire component cables to connect the player to the television. Despite this challenge the picture is the clearest I have ever seen from a DVD player.

For the most part this is a great dvd IF you get one that works. I had two that were play about 90% of the dvd and then lose the picture. Finally gave up and switched to a different player. Had hoped that since this was not a extreme low end player, that this wouldn't happen. Load times for dvd was long. When the dvd played, picture quality was great, upscaling was almost as good as bluray. Menu system is fairly intuitive.
Great little DVD player June 18, 2008

I previously had a Samsung that was giving me fits. It skipped and occasionally would display a distorted image on the TV if the components were turned on the the "wrong" order.
The Sony DVD player, in contrast, works like a dream. It's small, sleek and reliable.
Unbelievable DVD player June 17, 2008

This is one fine machine. Looks great, performs great, the best DVD picture I've ever seen.
Easy and Great to Watch! June 16, 2008
I worried about hooking this DVD player up, but with the HDMI cable it was unbelievably easy to plug in to our fabulous 40" Sony Bravia HDTV! The picture is fabulous, the machine easy to operate, and now I'm wondering what took me so long to buy it! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.
