The best option for a compact, simple, quality DVD player, 1 April 2009
I've said it all in the title really. I just needed a small DVD player, to fit in a space too narrow for most players. I just wanted something to relieve my Xbox 360 from DVD playing duties. Previous purchases of similar, but cheap-branded players had let me down, often with a poor picture making my DVDs look more like Youtube videos, and poor build quality. Some only lasted 3 months.
This DVD player is a great price, still a little more than those cheaper alternatives, but does not let the Sony brand down. The picture quality is very good, the build quality is fine, with a nice, chunky and fully-featured remote control, has all the basic features you'd need, including two different speeds of slow motion in either direction, two scan speeds, frame advance, angles, audio channels. subtitles etc, all easily accessible on the remote. And so far it seems very reliable.
The only disadvantage compared to a more expensive DVD player is that the optional digital audio out is Co-axial, not Optical (which seems better), the only video output option is a single scart socket, and the start-up time (i.e the time taken for the player to load and start playing a DVD from the time you press play) is quite long, sometimes up to 10 seconds. But it's a minor niggle.
Overall I am very satisfied with this as a small, quiet, simple, and good quality DVD player for a very reasonable price.
