Product Description

Manufacturer's Description

Sony's new sleek and slender DVP-NS30 DVD player features built-in MP3 decoding, DVD-R/DVD-RW, DVD+R/DVD+RW (video mode) and Kodak picture CD 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/108Mhz Video; while SCART and composite video outputs bring compatibility with nearly any television.

The DVPNS30 automatically plays data DVDs containing MP3 files and JPEG image files. By searching the disc for available files. Viewing JPEG files can be done by selecting the appropriate image album you wish to view, and can then be viewed individually or via a slideshow, with the added option of displaying the date on which the photo was taken. When JPEG image files and MP3 audio tracks are placed in the same album, you can enjoy a slideshow with sound.

The on-board 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: When you connect a stereo TV or 2 front speakers, Sony's TVS (TV Virtual Surround) lets you enjoy surround sound effects by using sound imaging to create virtual rear speakers. TVS was developed by Sony to produce surround sound for home use using just a stereo 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. You can set two kinds of playback restrictions for a disc, Custom Parental Control which enables you to set playback restrictions so that the player will not play inappropriate discs and Parental Control where playback of some DVD videos can be limited according to a predetermined level such as the of the users. Scenes may be blocked or replaced with different scenes. The same password is used for both Parental Control and Custom Parental Control.

Supplied accessories include a remote control that operates the DVD player and many brands of television. The remote makes chapter select easy, by just pressing the number button of the chapter you wish to play. You can control the sound level, input source, and power of many brands televisions by using the remote.

    5.0 out of 5 stars IMPRESSIVE!!!!!!!, 24 Jan 2006
    I was dubious about purchasing this multiregion player, specially after all the varying reviews (on the silver model and also here). So I'll probably just add to the confusion ... anyway this one replaced my last multiregion of 6yrs - Hitachi DV-P505E - which was a strong performer and quality user friendly machine. So finding any machine that lived up to my expectations was difficult.
    This Sony player is very small and light, some might say fragile, made in Hungary and the remote is made in Malaysia. Very easy to set up, just literally plug in and play. Remote allows you to adjust sound, switch between TVs input source (eg. TV or video) and power on/off but there are codes listed in the manual to set these features up for non-Sony TVs, since Sony and Aiwa TVs are already set to default on this player. (NB: Sony owns Aiwa brand).
    Tested on the following disc types it passed with flying colours:
    CD-R
    VCD ("Boa 8 films" - Avextrax)
    DVD-R
    DVD+R
    R0 ("BBC Crime Traveller" - Revelation)
    R1 ("Dark Angel Complete Season 1" - 20th Century Fox)
    R1 RCE ("The Breakfast Club" - Universal)
    R2 ("Roswell Complete Season 1" - 20th Century Fox)
    R3 ("Future Cops" - Universe)
    R4 ("Lost Complete Season 1" - Buena Vista)
    Only drawback was the remote which is grey and doesn't match the black model. Upside was Amazon's free UK delivery which usually takes 5-7 days but it reached me within 2 days! Overall this player is very impressive and for such a low price!

    4.0 out of 5 stars Impressive Player Shame About The Multi-Region, 8 Feb 2006
    A very capable player BUT it was not multi-region as advertised. It seems a bit hit and miss as to whether or not you receive it multi-region as advertised. This was very disappointing.

    Impressive price also.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Value Player, 9 Aug 2005
    I bought this machine because my current player had packed up, I am very happy with the number of features that this unit has. I have bought a few budget players recently and not had a massive length of service before they failed, this unit looks and feels much more sturdy.

    I have used it with CD-R, DVD-R and Picture CD's with no problem whatsoever and it has all of the features you would expect including Virtual Surround (although in all honesty this makes very little difference if it is on or off). I have not tried multi-region yet but the back of the machine is stamped region 2 only. There are several comments made about this in the feedback for the silver version of this player.

    My only gripe is that the description says that the remote controls your TV, what it means is it controls the volume and source input, it does not offer any further features.

    The unit is quick to set-up and use, although it would have been useful if it was supplied with a Scart Lead.
