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 lll mechanism is also included, which helps maximize the performance of DVD collections by reading data even on some physically 'warped' discs. 0ther benefits include fast/slow playback with sound, and custom parental control.

Buyer's feedback: - * 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.

Buyer's feedback: - 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.

Buyer's feedback: - * great product ...
I bought two of those in different times, both of them worked fine and reliable, I would recommend it to others

Buyer's feedback: - Good but not great. Good price, though!
This unit wasn't expensive so I gave it a try. As other reviewers have mentioned, it is annoyingly slow to boot up, read a disc, and start playing. The other really annoying "feature" is that there is no eject button on the front of the unit. So, if you walk up to your entertainment center with a DVD, you can't open the tray. You have to walk back to the couch, find the remote, and open the tray. Then you can go put in a disc. Then you need the remote again to close the tray (a gentle push on the tray will NOT close it!) Seems like a simple thing I took for granted with my previous players, but now it's kind of annoying on this one. I guess I'll get used to it some day and remember to just pick up the remote before I get up to put in a DVD, but I haven't yet. Still worth it for only $50, but I wish they had added this simple feature.

Buyer's feedback: - * Great for the price! ...
A standard DVD player, for a great price. I bought this because my room needed one, and we just wanted something simple, good, and cheap. It plays the dvd's I bought and has good picture quality. Really simple to use, and comes in silver or black.
