Sony DVP-NS700P DVD Player

Pros: Nice looks, "real" progressive scan with 2:3 pulldown, inputs, features, component cable
Cons: Combing, "chroma" upsampling bug, price; competitors have better models for less

The Sony DVP-NS700P is an inexpensive DVD player with “real” progressive scan (with 2:3 pulldown). Unfortunately, it is more expensive than similar players form Panasonic and JVC, which also play MP3s – the feature this Sony lacks.

Personally,...

Pros: Progressive-scan output, matches color of Sony Wega TV's.
Cons: Lightly built, no advanced audio modes.

Sony's DVP-NS700P DVD player adds progressive-scan capability to the company's new line of entry-level DVD players. Sony has built the 700P on the same low-profile, lightweight chassis they use for their three other entry-level players, the...

Pros: Very significant improvement in HD Video. Fewer Cables, more lines per frame.
Cons: Not enough connections- VHS has to share Camcorder input. Watch out for overpriced cables.

Sony 1080p Upscaling DVD Player Model DVP- NS700H/b (Black) or /s (Silver) WHAT IS IT? This is a Player that can make a standard DVD look like it is encoded with 1080p, 1080i, or 720p resolution. Any of these are better than the Standard DVD ...

Pros: Excellent value in prgressive scan technology, simple well laid-out design
Cons: Flimsy like my other *(broken) Sony player, progressive scan may be waste, still no MP3

After writing a rather condemning review on the Sony's DVP-NS300S player, I figured I'd better follow up with more promising words on Sony's higher end solution which is a big brother to the 300 unit. The 700 is still in the entry-level line, however it...

Pros: Nice full featured DVD Player at a reasonable price
Cons: Remote is not back lit, some features aren't for everyone

Keeping pace with the ever-evolving technology around us is a dizzying experience at best. Home theater does not stay behind and offers us new and exciting products for us to talk about. Such is the Sony DVP-NS700P Progressive Scan DVD player.
To...

Pros: Brains and Beauty plus high-tech performance. This one has it all.
Cons: None

I recently replaced my JVC 9000 DVD player with a Sony progressive scan model. I purchased the JVC way back in 1998 when the second generation of DVD players first arrived and had been very happy with it until watching the new Sony. Wow! What a...

Pros: Sweet Styling, Low Priced Progressive Scanning
Cons: No MP3, Small Visual Problems

At first glance this DVD player is a sexy beast. I mean it, just look at the thing, it makes you want to take it home. It makes you think its got the best technology available packed in there. And for a low price it is the best that you can do,...

Pros: Features, great silve look (slick),
Cons: Expensive, Great competitor models, Remote control, single disc

The long and the Short of it

Well, lets make a long story short. Sony has created nice sleek DVD player with all the looks (fairly typical of Sony) and tried their best to load it full of nice features. The trouble I have with it, is in...

Pros: Progressive scan.
Cons: Probably not the greatest DVD player in the world.

I don't want to kick dirt in a lot peoples eyes here but there is a trend to elevate DVD movies to a level that is beyond reproach. I enjoy the DVD experience to the extent that no rewinding is necessary and static is a thing of the past and the sound...

Pros: Quality DVD player, good picture, decent feature set
Cons: A bit overpriced compared to other brands

I bought the Sony WEGA digital TV. I bought the Sony Dolby Digital Receiver. All that was missing was the Progressive Scan DVD Player.

I decided on the Sony more for convenience than anything else. My system is all Sony, which means the...

Pros: Great picture quality, ergonomic, aesthetically pleasing
Cons: More expensive with less features than competitor models

This is my 3rd DVD player and I've come to the conclusion that there is no point in spending over $300 on a DVD player as these players break down after a few years and with the technology constantly improving - it makes more sense to replace rather than...

Pros: CD-R/CD-RW playback,elegant styling and handy remote
Cons: Doesn’t support MP3 format.

Sony did a quality job with this system. DVD tray loading is very sturdy as compared to previous sony models.
The feature i like best is the scene/chapter search where you can divide the screen into nine parts and search for the scene/chapter you...

Pros: Top Quality, Top Brand, Perfect Picture
Cons: Huge Remote

This DVD player is wonderful! First of all, Sony is a great brand anyway, so it makes sense that their DVD player would be top of the line. I am a movie freak, I love to watch movies: new, old, comedy, drama, action, you name it. The picture quality...

Pros: good sound Quality, popular with a lot of my friends
Cons: Expensive, harder to use that other products.

The Didgital Video Disk player is really expensive to those of us who can not afford to pay One Hundred Eighty Dollars for something like that. The ease of using this Didgital Video Disk player is a little harder than those I have used before. This...

Pros: Progressive Scan means great 480p picture, great remote, component output for HDTVs.
Cons: Lightweight.

Since the DVD market, especially for recording devices, is getting more active, you might want to wait so you can get a "do-it-all" DVD recorder/player. But if you don't want to wait for the usual shakeout to occur, this player should do well mated to an...
