What's great about it:?nice picture quality, comes with hdmi cable What's not so great:?disc write errors "This player is just bad. It is the first standalone dvd recorder that I owned to give me disc write errors, five in a row the first time I tried to record something!! It upscales to hd quality nicely, but it doesn't do good with recording. from Bestbuy.com What's not so great:?No time to end of movie counter. "We have 2 kids, and not having to change a DVD for hours, or even days, is the best. Sony makes some great DVD players for the price. We had one of the first Sony DVD players and abused it everyday ($300 and that lasted 9+ years). from Bestbuy.com ProsThis was my second BDP. This was a birthday present for my wife to go along with the 40" Sony TV she also received as a birthday present. The Sony BDP is very easy to install. from Dell.com My relatively new, relatively little used Sony DVP-NS575P will no longer play discs -- they'll load but not spin; the first time this happened I was able to fix it temporarily by removing the cover and kick starting the disc with my finger, but that method no longer works. Going online, I see that I can send mine in and Sony will replace it with a refurbished machine for about 50% more, all told, than the the price of a new one. from Amazon.com I would not recommend this product. Neither of the two features I need most from this Sony -- DVD player and DVD recorder -- work. The DVD player freezes all the time and there's no way to get past that point (FF, REW, etc. from Amazon.com This is the worst product I have ever bought. It never would record anything, so I thought due to it's price, at least it would reliably play movies. from Amazon.com I saw that this was unavailable on Amazon so I checked out the Sony site.. On the Sony site they state that this is no longer available.. from Amazon.com I purchased this combo DVD/VCR player for my exercise tapes, which I use daily, since I have a wide collection of both VHS & DVD's. And I've always liked the user-friendly aspect of Sony products. from Amazon.com Ordered this combo unit 3mos ago. Was easy to set up, including the Sony's auto-scan recognizing all the analog and digital stations' signals picked up by our antenna. from Amazon.com My Sony RDRVXD655 was a problem from day one and I haven't even used it for what was intended-transfering VHS tapes to disc. Using DVD's, the picture would stop & skip. from Amazon.com
