Out of warrenty, ugh what a bummer. We bought this last may. It worked way better than our last Panasonic dvd player. We had no other problems with it. It worked great.until last week when it decided that it would no longer reconise any disc. Today I finally got the time to check things out, we bought it 1 yr 2 days ago.
And the direction booklet is a bit daunting and not completely user-friendly. It is easier to understand dialogue than on my bother's TV. I had only two minor objections: my last player turned on when I opened the tray. Then I lost the outside edges of the movies.
The Sony upscaling DVD player is lightweight, small and unintrusive. But with study and perserverance it all makes sense, then it's great. The Sony must be turned on in order to open the tray. It works beautifully without being "in your face".
It's great to see the entire image now. Thumbs up to Sony. The picture is crisp and clear using an S Video cable, and the sound blows you away. Also, the picture ratio of the Sony player fits my widescreen LCD TV, whereas the last DVD player I had looked distorted unless I used Zoom.
But now that I've got the Sony, I don't see a significant difference from the very old and cheap DVD player that I've been using for 5 years. I was very impressed by the many 5 star reviews on Amazon.
Unit works and looks good, decent price but really should have buttons on unit to skip to the next track for CD play (you must use the remote for this).
The movies I've seen so far are nearly perfect. Now I have to watch all of my dvds again to see what I have missed. My friend has a Blue-ray and was astonished how this Sony does so well. WE hooked this player up to my new 46in Panasonic plasma 1080p tv. WOW.
