Product Description: The DVP-NS57P/B DVD player features Precision Cinema Progressive technology, providing sharper images for a better viewing experience. Unlike other DVD players that detect image changes at the Scan line level-Sony's Precision Cinema Progressive (PCP) system detects them at the Pixel level. This results in images closer to the original source data, because separate, optimized algorithms are used to handle the differing Pixel behavior. Separate algorithms are also used to process the moving and still parts of an image, resulting in sharp backgrounds with moving objects that are free from motion artifacts. Sony's Precision Drive III mechanism is also included, which helps maximize the performance of DVD collections by reading data even on some physically "warped" discs. Other benefits include fast/slow playback with sound, and custom parental control.
Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
Rating: - It works fine
This unit works fine and is a snap to set up. It has the ability to start in the middle of a program. I would recommend it highly
Rating: - GOOD UNIT, POORLY DESIGNED/MADE REMOTE
Yes the ability of this unit to read/play imperfect discs is better than most, but the design, programing and functioning of the remote is poor at best. To start, the buttons on the unit are too small and are in the wrong/less than convenient positioning. The keys function slowly/poorly. The actual programming is reqiures too many steps to effect desired actions such as slow play requires hitting of pause then then slow rather than just pressing slow key to effect desired reduced speed. The .6 slow play is unique and liked.
Rating: - Great little DVD player!
We are extremely pleased with the Sony DVD player. It is a great little DVD player-we are using it in the master bedroom and it is a very sleek looking player with all the features we need for a spare DVD. The price was certainly a great feature!!
Rating: - Sony DVD Player
As with almost anything you buy, you get what you pay for. Sure, you can buy a less-expensive DVD player but it won't be a Sony. And the remote integrates nicely with my Sony TV so it doesn't add another remote to the many that I already have. Needless to say, the product was easy to set up and works great. Nuff said.
Rating: - Insufficient output options
I purchased this unit because it was a Sony, and a replacment for an older unit that died.
When it arrived it did not have S-video output, or optical audio output for Dolby 5.1.
I was able to swap it for another unit in the house but now my big screen equipment does not match, and the RCA unit is not fully controllable by the Sony Remote Commander.
No big deal, but it would have been nice to have a description of the output options in the product description.
The more expensive models had some "new" type of output that my 60' TV does not support.
