Sony DVP-S360D DVD Player

Pros: Slim design, optical out, DTS + Dolby Digital ready
Cons: Somewhat pricey

*update*
Well, it finally went to the big electronics store in the sky. After almost two years, it just stopped reading disks. I took it to the repair shop and was told it was a bad laser unit. It was cheaper to buy a new DVD player than fix this...

Pros: Easy to use
Cons: Only one DVD at a time

Do you ever feel that some electronic gizmos are so hard to use? Well, usually you have to read the manual to most DVD players. That is a process that really annoys me. But as for the Sony DVP-S360 I must say that it is as easy as 1-2-3. You simply...

Pros: Great system
Cons: A little overpriced

DVD, the newest technology. It is simply amazing, that anyone could think up watching a movie on a disc the size of a CD! But, it did happen, a DVD is a full-length movie on a disc! It has superb sound, and visuals. Not to mention a few extra goodies,...

Pros: Plenty of Output types. Decent looks. Is a Sony Product.
Cons: Sony doesn't care about durability or warrenty anymore. Worthless after about a year.

I doubt that anything that you will find in this review will be anything that you won't see elsewhere in another review. But as I need to vent, and add my name to the negative reviews of this machine I will do so anyhow.

As with everyone else...

Pros: Excellent Picture AND Sound, AWESOME Remote, and great connection options such as component video
Cons: Junk! Trouble reading BRAND NEW DVD's.

There are many things I love about Sony, but have never felt that their products are among the elite. I did, however, have the feeling that you really can't go wrong with Sony. In general, they are good quality products, with at least average, and...

Pros: NONE !
Cons: inferior quality for more money sony doesn't stand behind products very poor customer service

Beware - sony quality is not what it once was, you would be far better off with a similar priced JVC model. My problems with the DVD player started on about my 2nd or 3rd usage when the movie I was playing stopped all of a sudden and the screen went ...

Pros: Good picture quality when it works
Cons: Extremely unreliable. Lasted less than 18 months.

This is the first DVD player we've owned and I felt confident that the Sony name ensured quality, even if you ended up paying a bit more. Man was I wrong! We're now looking for a replacement after this machine crapped out after only about 18 months....

Pros: Excellent picture & sound
Cons: Very unreliable

I bought my Sony DVP-S360 two months ago. For the first few weeks, the unit worked flawlessly. It played everything beautifully, without errors on any DVD's. It was exactly what I expected from a Sony product--quality, and reliability.

But...

Pros: infinite outputs (component), sturdy case, fully featured remote
Cons: no zoom, only two speeds of fast forward and fast reverse

I already own a DVD-ROM drive in my pc, which doubles as my primary TV thanks to a ATI All-In-Wonder 128 Pro. I have been waiting for the prices to fall below $200 for the DVD players that have an MSRP of about $299. I felt the Sony was a steal at $180...

Pros: Remote Control, smoothscan, overall smoothness
Cons: Zoom feature

In my opinon I think the DVD remote can really make the DVD
viewing experience more/less enjoyable. If your fumbling
with the remote to scan backwards because you missed a scene or forward to skip a scene, it can really make the viewing...

Pros: Good sound and picture quality
Cons: Terrible CD-R/RW compatibility, poor reliability and terrible support

I bought my player about a year and a half ago and have had very mixed experiences with it. It worked perfectly for the first 10 months, then the pickup died completely. After paying to have it repaired, it broke again literally 3 days later. After...

Pros: Nice unit in the beginning.
Cons: Not a long-term value.

I purchased this unit a circuit city as a replacement for my Proscan that was not playing newer DVDs. Already upset over the Proscan only lasting me one year, I decided to buy a quality player from Sony.

I looked at the more expensive models...

Pros: Quality picture, sound, easy to use Sony remote
Cons: AVOID! Players become faulty a year from purchase. This is a common fault.

As an avid Sony customer with the full complement of remote controls the disappointment of a player that became faulty after just one year was tremendous! Further research using Google uncovered that we were not alone - the S360 commonly goes faulty...

Pros: Rather cheap compared to others
Cons: Rather CHEAP

I got this DVD player originally for my mom a couple of months ago. At first glance I didn't think it would be all that bad, although the plastic looks a little cheap and I swear I heard things rolling around inside as I was hooking it up. I turned it...

Pros: Awesome video and sound quality
Cons: A bit noisy when the disk starts spinning

For the price, you can’t beat the Sony DVP-S360 DVD player. This player packs quality features in a player that almost anyone can afford.

Component video outputs allow you to get exceptional video quality if your TV has component inputs. I...
