Sony DVP-NC800H/B

If you just got a new HDTV and feel your DVDs look like garbage with your old DVD player, look no further then this unit. The upconversion on this player works well, and will breathe new life into your DVD… collection. Many are not yet available on blu-ray, so in many cases DVD is still your only choice. If you like to watch multiple disc sets, such as TV series on DVD, then the multi-disc capacity of this player is very convenient. It has a nice remote, which I feel is an important feature. At this price you can not go wrong.

I have no complaints about the picture or sound quality of this DVD player IF it works. I, like several others, have noted the problem where it becomes unable to read DVDs at all. I am sure this does… not happen all the time, but just scanning the reviews, when a significant number have the exact same problem with the player, there has to be a design defect. As for the idea that it is overheating that causes the problem, perhaps, but I had mine on the table-top with excellent ventilation and still within a year it was unable to read DVDs. So, if you buy it, enjoy it while it lasts, and make sure you have a good service or trade in plan, because expecting this player to last is a bad bet.

Bought this DVD player to replace our old multi CD player. Not only does this player play DVD's it also plays CD's and MP3's recorded onto DVDR's or CDR's. With room for 5 DVD's you can play over 7000 MP3… songs! Nice substitute for a juke box. So easy to use I bought a second one for my mother-in-law and even she loves it. Pros: Compatibility with all standard DVD's and CD's. Excellent price for what you get. Ability to play all MP3 recorded disks. HDMI ease of hookup. Cons: The labels for the disk locations are hard to read. Some white paint on the recessed numbers should fix this. No random play from disk to disk. Remote could have better compatibility with other brands of amplifiers and TV's.
