Sony DVPNS75H Single Disc Upscaling DVD Player

I must say this player is a marvel to see. The picture to me is just as outstanding as its' predecessors but without any of the NS70H's warts. Everything that was good with the previous model is intact on the this one. It seems to be a tad faster than the than the older one, it's not blindingly fast mind you but it does seem to respond to commands and load the disk a bit quicker.

I hope folks who buy this unit to integrate with their home audio system take the time to go through the book and menus to set the audio portion correctly. It comes dumbed down in the box with Dolby Digital and DTS turned off. Additionally it's set to 48khz instead of 96khz. Once those three items have been activated this baby produces some of the most outstanding sounds I've heard. I fear most folks will simply buy it, plug it in and hit play never knowing what they are missing. I did confirm that it will pass the 6.1 DD-EX and DTS-ES audio streams also.

I had to replace my old DVD player because it simply couldn't handle the DVD-Rs that I have been collecting. You know the problems: freezing, gross pixilations, hanging - VERY annoying. I tried the worst disc I had, and this player played it flawlessly - you would never have known it wasn't "perfect". Another great but understated Sony feature is the player "remembers" where you left off on up to six discs. If you stop or eject a disc, the player will begin play at that point the next time you load it, with up to six different discs in between. The remote has better human factors than previous Sony models, too, so it's much easier to work in lower light levels. A superior value in every respect. If you are into DVD-R or RW, give this player a try.

Reasonably priced DVD player with excellent video and audio quality. It plays all the discs I threw at it, including the DVD-Rs I burnt on my Mac. I tested this player with my best DVDs - Spider-man 2 (Superbit), Lawrence of Arabia (Superbit) and Ben-Hur. The picture and sound quality blew me away. I could see details like the wrinkles on the actors' faces and stray hair on their foreheads. Unbelievable! Outdoor scenes had rich color and excellent clarity. This DVD player is an excellent choice until the HiDef DVD format wars end.

I am stepping up from a 2 yr old Sony NC665P DVD player connected to a 51" Hitachi rear-projection HDTV. The improvement in picture quality is significant through both the HDMI and Component video connections. When I switch between the HDMI and Component connections I see a slight difference in picture quality - the HDMI picture is sharper, with more detail, while the Component picture is softer. In any case, you will see a significant improvement... Read more
