Product Description
Manufacturer's Description
Sony's new sleek and slender DVP-NS355 DVD player features built-in MP3 decoding, DVD-R/DVD-RW and DVD+R/DVD+RW (video mode) playback. With Sony's Precision Cinema Progressive and new Precision Drive3 systems, you'll get a picture that is more faithful to the source, video or film, and virtually free of errors that warped discs can produce. High-quality image playback is facilitated using a 12bit/54Mhz Video; while SCART and composite video outputs bring compatibility with nearly any television.
A 192 kHz 24-bit digital-to-analogue audio converter ensures optimum decoding of all disc formats. A Dolby DTS 5.1-channel surround-sound signal can be routed through the player's optical digital-audio output for direct connection to a full-featured audio/video receiver. If you don't have a surround receiver or six-channel speaker setup, you can still make every movie night the ultimate experience: Sony's TV Virtual Surround (with four surround modes) simulates surround sound through two speakers (even the stereo speakers on your TV).
Playback options include quick set-up, disc resume, DVD/CD Text, custom parental control memory, Advanced Smooth Scan and Smooth Slow Modes, instant replay and instant search. Supplied accessories include a remote control that operates the DVD player and many brands of television and a standard A/V cable. Please note that a SCART cable is NOT included.

I think the reason most people are having problems is that whilst the dvd is multi-region it outputs NTSC & some television can't handle it. My old dvd player and a lot of other dvd players convert NTSC to pal, therefore the tv can display it correctly. On my television it would only work via scart 1 as scart 2 would not cope with ntsc (as is the case on some televisions). So if you want this dvd player I recommend you check your Tv can handle NTSC. I think this is the reason why their are mixed reports as to multi-region working & why their older dvd players may have been ok.

Brought this a couple of weeks ago for my 84yr old Grandmother as she was after some video tape boxsets which i found were cheaper to buy on dvd boxsets (??) (on Amazon), so i suggested it would be just as cheap to buy a dvd player and she agreed but i was a bit worried she would not be able to operate it, as she is still confused as to how to change the clock & timer on her central heating boiler control after about 7 yrs of me showing her but i was pleasantly suprised, after only about 2 hours of repeatedly showing her the basic's (a few bang head on wall moments) turn on, select tv channel, open dvd tray, put dvd in, press play and stop she seems to have mastered it, so next step is menu control and track skip.
The unit is what you can expect of Sony, good quality, sturdy, easy to use and good looking. Only bad points were not available in black & quite wide when compared to how slimline it is (couple of inches wider than a VCR), also wish the manufacturers would include scart leads in the box.
Very good value, even better now as 20% off (typical that 20% is knocked off a few days after i brought it), as searching through the other electrical dealers it was around the £75 mark and that was not for multi region, also found a company that could make it a multiregion player for around £50. So you are saving around £75 with Amazon's multiregion offering.
Picture quality good and reasonable sound quality but you need a digital amp if you want 5.1/6.1/7.1 surround sound as only has stereo & optical outputs on the unit.

I read most of the reviews for the Toshiba SD330 m/r player which I was tempted to buy, but in the end I opted for the Sony for £10 more. The setup is simple and takes no more than 5 minutes. It comes with an A/V cable but no scart lead, although there is a scart socket at the back. The picture quality is very good, and the sound can be changed through a number of Virtual Surround Sound settings (for those like me without a home cinema package). The sound and the subtitles can be changed using the remote very easily during playback without any disruption the picture. Other buttons on the remote include picture navigation, zoom, angle, and scene replay.
For £80 with free delivery I would definitely recommend this.
