Sony=Junk
| If I could give zero stars I would. You will not be able watch any rental movies with this DVD player. Even brand new DVDs right out of the box are a gamble. The "play" and "menu" buttons are for show, they do not work. If all the planets are aligned, your movie might play after turning the player off and on, and hitting eject and set-up several times. Even then, this player will not play an entire DVD movie all the way through without major stutters and skips. Shame on Sony for selling such a piece of junk. I didn't expect such bad quality from such a big name. |

TOTALLY UNRELIABLE
| I bought the whole Sony system including the surround sound with this product. About 6 months after I bought it, the DVDs would occasionally fail to load. One would fail, and then the next 2 would work, and I just persisted on. When a DVD failed, it would not eject. It would take anywhere from 5 minutes to 8 hours to eject, turning the player on and off. Three out of four times I played a DVD, it NEVER failed to skip or freeze up. I've finally had it - I'm putting it in the Good Will box and getting something else. I was silly, silly for not returning the thing immediately, but I kept on having faith it would work itself out. NOT. |

It has good and bad
| Around the same time, we had bought two DVD players, a Mintek ($40) and this Sony ($200.) I have to say I like the Mintek a lot more. This Sony Combo is very picky on what DVD's I put! The Mintek is able to play ALL data, most video, and even a PAL DVD from Italy. But the Sony, which costs way too much more, is not even able to play any of that. :(. Although, the reliablility level is very good. It really has never given us any technological problems. But I am saddened to see that Sony dosen't allow so many kinds of DVD's. Also, we have had experiences when this DVD would freeze in between parts of movies.It does play DATA MP3 CD. (Which thats a good feature.) The VHS player is very good and has not given any problems. I would reccomend this to someone who dosen't use data CD's with , AVI or any type of media file.Also its good for DVD's which are either WORLD or NTSC region. If you are someone who watches only DVD's and VHS, than this is for you. Thanks and God Bless. |
