 Finally! July 8, 2010
A. E. Berigtold (Baltimore, MD)
I bought this dvd player simply to be free to buy dvds of any region. In that respect, it is 100% perfect. My needs are pretty simple. I wouldn't say I'm easily impressed, but on the other hand, I don't need a lot of gadgets, or a complex menu.
I have had this unit for about a year now, and no issues at all. Plug and play. I'm not great with techy things, but this was no fuss. Just take it out of the box, hook it up, and voila.
I will never buy a "normal" dvd player again. Region-free is the way to go!
For the parents out there who are going crazy trying to find Richard Scarry dvds for their little ones, they are still easily available from Australia and sometimes the UK. With this player, you can order them from anywhere and not worry that they won't play. I have ordered dvds online from amazon.uk, amazon france, and ebay sellers all over the world. I've never had a single problem.
I also like that it came with eletical adapters, in case I move abroad again (I wish, but not likely!).
The remote is easy to use, and includes a zoom function that I use sometimes to scope out details in the background. Very intuitive and user friendly.
I hope it lasts forever, because I don't think there are many electronic items out there these days that are super affordable, super reliable, and super easy to use.
Thanks, Sony!!!!!

I have had this dvd player for just over a year, but it spent over 8mths of that time in storage during my deployment. When I returned from deployment, it worked very well for about 6mths, but now it just keeps saying loading and will not play any dvds. I thought I was buying a quality product when I bought the Sony brand. From the other reviews I have read, it sounds like this player has about a 1 year lifespan. I will not buy another Sony.
Really good, solid DVD player. Basic functions. November 26, 2009

This is a great DVD player. It is solid, and I've had it for about 3 years now, and doesn't even hiccup. It has 3 levels of adjustable sharpness which is a great feature. It also has customizable settings for displaying movies in Cinema, Dynamic and Custom settings, which adds to the experience of watching the same movie in a different tone every time.
Its a pretty solid player, and it decodes your dvds for your home theater system into its corresponding Dolby or DTS sound. The Coaxial sound output gives your home theater system a clean, digital sound, with very realistic bassy sounds. Explosions, planes, waterfalls, etc sound great.
I have yet to buy a Sony product that breaks on me (unless I drop it on hard concrete) and sometimes they still keep working all cracked open haha....anyway, I'm just sharing my experience.
One thing I don't like is that the player itself only has 4 buttons, so it won't work properly without its remote. So, don't lose it!!

Five stars, because it has performed perfectly. However, I looked for a region-free dvd-player and this is not one of them. Sites on the web led me to believe it was - I will check it out better next time. It is not worth to return it at less than $50, I can wait a little longer ~ a couple of years. It was tested against a Playstation 3 and there were no apparent difference in output. Also tested it versus a blueray version of the test movie on the PS 3. I liked the colors better on the dvd and my friend thought one could see too many things and little flaws in the movie on the blueray... A blueray player went way down my list, if not totally off.
