What's great about it: picture quality is great
What's not so great: remote does not have open/close button
"I bought this dvd player to replace another sony dvd player I had since the stone age. I did not mind the open/close not being on the new remote, since my old sony dvd remote works with this dvd player flawlessly"

DON'T LET THE PRICE FOOL YOU!

What's great about it: Outstanding picture quality!
What's not so great: Not A Thing.
"If your HD set does a good job with upscaling and you therefore do not need an upscaling player, go for this one -- I have the Sony KD34XBR960 which is a true test for any player and this is the best 480p picture I ever saw. Outstanding quality with video options that do not cause the usual harshness and color bleed associated with picture enhancement.
It's also very compact and lightweight, with the unit buttons conveniently placed on the top for easy access since discs cannot be ejected using the remote.
So don't let the $40+ price tag fool you."

What's great about it: hooked it up in under a minute, worked perfectly right away
What's not so great: haven't found anything yet
"A dvd player that is under $50, works well, good picture, and installs in 40 seconds, seems like a good deal to me. In addition, it's very sleek and small, looks nice -weighs next to nothing. Perhaps after I' ve had it longer something will pop up, but right now I'm a happy camper"

Outstanding DVD Player

By Carlover

What's great about it: Remote. Ease of use
What's not so great: None
"This is a fantastic DVD player for the price. It has great picture and sound. It also has a digital audio out, a 480p component out, and a standard composite out. One other great feature is the remote. It is a remote made to do the job. The only trouble is that to use the zoom, you have to hit the display button twice, and then select the top picture."

What's great about it: Great price
What's not so great: Nothing
"I got this DVD player because my old one just died. I didn't need anything really complicated since I don't watch movies 24/7 and I don't have an HDTV to play Blu-rays on. I just wanted something simple for cheap and this turned out to be a great buy. It is easy to set up, and functions perfectly."

What's great about it: Nice picture, seems to be much better quality for the extra few dollars over the cheap players
What's not so great: Labor warranty is only 90 days, not the 1 year indicated in Best Buy specifications
"Very nice for the price. Quality of fit and finish is way above those costing only $15 less. Very good picture quality."

What's great about it: Everything,everything,everything
What's not so great: Nothing at all
"This is such a great little DVD player. The picture quality is excellent, it was really easy to hook up. I love it too, because when you rewind a movie it tells you in the display, so you never miss any of the movie. Plus it's a nice looking player."

Stopped loading DVD's after 2 weeks.
04/20/2009
By ARawlings
from Washington, DC

What's great about it: easy to use during the two weeks it worked
What's not so great: stopped loading DVD's after 2 weeks, cheap remote, poor picture quality
"Sony DVD has been used nightly during 2 weeks of ownership, for 1-2 hours at a time. Stopped loading disks tonight, "cant load disk" error, clicking noise. The prelude to this was the disk froze mid-playback, then got worse from there.
Purchased Sony unit April 4th 2009. Sony was purchased to replace a Toshiba XDE500 purchased in January 2009 - XDE died first of April (also stopped loading disks). Toshiba XDE500 was beyond return period, so I ate that $80. Chose Sony based on price, DTS, Dolby Digital and Progresive Scan playback. Sony is going back to Best Buy tomorrow, well within the 30-day return period. Sony picture quality was acceptable, but it took a lot of adjustments on the TV (Toshiba projection TV Cinema Series, component connections, coax audio, Yamaha Surround receiver) to get a clear image.
Remote required clear line-of-sight to function, and button response was poor (multiple depressions to activate desired function).
Your customer reviews are extremely helpful, thanks for taking the time to post - clearly my experience is not unique, many have had similar experience with all brands, at all price points. Not that it decreases the frustration, but it's good knowing I'm not vexxed by the DVD gods. Anton"

Its a SONY for $40 bucks!!!!

What's great about it: Easy to use... Compact... Doesnt look cheap... Picture is pretty good
What's not so great: Nothing really... its the best $40 dvd player Ive ever owned. If you want something better get a blu ray player
"This is a very good player for the money. I needed a cheap dvd player for the bedroom for a while now. I bought an insignia and a cyber home... both were JUNK! So I picked this one up, and NO problems!
Im so glad to see a name brand come out with one at a good price. I knew it wasnt going to be blu ray quality, its a $40 player. And thats what you get. But it is not junk by any means..
Im going to buy a second one for my daughters bedroom."

Poor mp3 player
02/14/2009
By DJBat
from Southern California
|
What's great about it: Not mp3 playback, that's for sure.
What's not so great: mp3 playback
"I only wanted a DVD player for playing mp3's off a DVD disc. This one fails miserably. Mainly because there's no random shuffle. That right there is an oxymoron to release a DVD mp3 player and have it so it only plays tracks linearly off one folder? Stupidity. You should be able to throw a disc it and it should have an option to randomize the entire thing. This one doesn't.
It also stresses use of the inferior 128Kbps mp3 data rate which hardly anyone encodes with anymore. 224Kbps and this thing chokes."

Good AND bad
02/04/2009
By VideoDude

What's great about it: Great color
What's not so great: Chokes on home-video DVDs
"I bought this (at the local store) because my old DVD player would pause now and then. I got it home, hooked it up, and it looked great! Seems to have better color than the old one, somewhat. HOWEVER, when playing my home video DVDs, many of them had a non-functioning menu! The menu buttons would not highlight or select. If I pressed the play button on the remote, they would play, though. Then if I pressed the menu button, the menu usually would then work.That was bad enough. Then I tried a DVD I made that had 5 submenus. The main menu HAD NO BUTTONS AT ALL! Pressing play would only play the first set of chapters, no way to get at the other four! This DVD worked FINE on another DVD player in the house, though. So, I plugged my old DVD player back in, and the DVD works no problem! The DVP-SR200P is now back in it's box, sitting up in the attic. If you do your own home video DVDs, I definitely would NOT recommend this player! For this reason, I give it a 1 star (extremely) poor rating."

What's great about it: great price easy to set up, good functions
"i had no problem with the dvd tray easy to take out and put in dvds - it IS a little fragile so yes maybe people with small children should put the dvds in themselves. For me its just perfect perfect size perfect price good picture and sound i'm very pleased i was upset when my 8 year Panasonic DVD played its last scene today and went looking for another one today- i was told by the Best buy clerk that he recommened it and i agree this is a great dvd player- easy to set up i love the progressive scan dvd part no more searching for where i last left a DVD because i dont want to keep it on still i've had no problems with the color or remote either.
highly recommend!"
