5.0 out of 5 stars Great HDMI DVD player, 30 Sep 2007
By David J. Topping (Manchester UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
What a great piece of kit and a great upscaling HDMI DVD player .
I run this through a Sony HDMI Cinema system with a HDMI switcher and with a Sony 40" LCD X series LCD TV . It was very easy and quick to set up . Looks Classy too ... I especially like how the little blue light comes on when your correctly running through the HDMI output . I was staggered at how impressive an upscaled DVD looks ... It upscales most standard DVD;s to 1080P . Star Wars Revenge of The Sith upscaled looks every bit as impressive as a true HD tranmission . This to me is a really good compromise before I make a decision between HD or Blu ray .. at the moment Id MUCH rather spend £70 on this than £500 for a Blu Ray player !!
Its completely revitalised my DVD collection ..

5.0 out of 5 stars Best £50 I Have Spent in a Long Time!, 30 Nov 2007
By Gary Docherty (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Took delivery of my DVP-NS78 just over a week ago after reading about upscaling DVD players for the first time in a Sunday newspaper supplement. Having read the reviews on Amazon I thought "Well, if it doesn't actually work it's only £50 down the drain".
All I can say is very impressed indeed - in fact even my wife says she can tell the difference and she's half-blind and almost totally indifferent to new technologies! The best way I can describe the picture is like I'm looking through a window that has just been cleaned and everything is crystal clear (relative to how it was before anyway). I bought a HD-ready LCD TV just over two years ago but I do not yet have any HD service such as Sky or Virgin so it was great to be able to see what the TV is capable of - a Toshiba 32WL56P for anyone who is interested. Furthermore, I have now tested the player with my Infocus X1 projector (after a quick firmware upgrade) and oh, my god! Predator has never looked so graphic....or gory.
I'm really pleased by this purchase. I feel I've got great value for money. I haven't been able to programme it for region-free yet but I think my One4All is playing up so I need to take that up with One4All support.
However, whether region-free or region 2 only I still think I've got a bargain. If you have a TV that's HD-ready but no HD service you might want to consider buying one of these to get an idea of your TV's potential.
By the way, this is the first time I have felt compelled to review any purchase in my life - that's probably the best indication of how impressed I am.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sony at the top of their game, 29 Oct 2007
By Shawade (UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
This DVD player is proof for me that Sony are back at the top of their game.

Slim, stylish and well laid out, this is a classy looking machine although there is a little hint of similar Philips machines about the reflective front fascia. Unlike some reviewers here I like the look and feel of the remote, it will also control the basics on many makes of TV.

With a good HDMI cable this DVD player delivers superb upscaled DVD quality to my HD LCD TV. This has a dramatic effect on recent DVD releases but also (surprisingly for me) old BBC DVDs such as Blakes 7!

This player I understand is multiregion capable. That does not mean that it is Multiregion already when you buy it from Amazon, it means that should be possible to make it multiregion by entering a code with a remote control such as a One For All remote. Please do take note of this as 'multiregion capable' could be misleading.

Recommended.
