Sony DVP-S360D DVD Player

Pros: When the unit worked, the picture was good
Cons: "No Disk" error after 13 months

I got this unit after much searching and was confident in Sony's ability to deliver a quality unit. I WAS WRONG! The picture and sound quality are fine but the unit began skipping and displaying "No Disk" errors after about 13 months. Others have had the...

Pros: Some reliability problems.
Cons: Repairable.

This is a nice DVD player. It is very good at reading disks close to a 100% rate, regardless of manufacturer or title. It even works with the interactive features I've found on some DVD that can't be read by my portable player. The picture is great, an ...

Pros: When it worked, it worked well
Cons: Broken. No satisfaction from Sony.

Let me say first that when it worked, it was a great DVD player. We were very pleased with the deal we got and were happy to have a Sony. Two days before Christmas we put in "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" and got a C:13:00 error. We thought we had a...

Pros: great video/audio, tons of features, easy to use, slim and looks
Cons: no backlit remote, power button on machine should be digital.

I recieved this for x-mas it was bought about 2 years ago...it was bought w/my home theater system. it has a lot of great features for...well...almost anyone thats wants a DVD player at this good price! some others that are $100 have not even half the...

Pros: Name Brand, affordability
Cons: Short life

I visited epinions before purchasing my first DVD player a year ago. Based on the features I wanted (good picture, etc.) I decided to ignore the warnings of previous S-360 buyers who said that within 6-12 months their player began giving them problems....

Pros: Slim design, optical digital sound/s-video connections, built in 5.1 surround, dts out
Cons: Machine makes a clicking noise when playing dvd's...annoying

When this dvd player was first introduced it was one of the better ones on the market, but not cheap. It has 2 S-video outputs for multiple tv's but how many people actually need that? The audio options give the user a lot of choices depending on what...

Pros: Simplicity, Sony quality, low price
Cons: none so far

There seems to be a desire by manufacturers to take a simple product and pile extra features on top of it to try to outsell Sony on features and/or price. Adding MP3 player capability or CD-RW to a DVD player seem to be examples. What I like about this...

Pros: Easy, right price
Cons: none

What can I say it is a sony. It is easy to run, program and does everything it supposed to do. I am not an electronics buff but I am very pleased with my purchase. Heck even my wife knows how to turn it on and use it, and that is saying something.
...

Pros: Ease of connections to other items in your home theater system.
Cons: Have to exit from play to change settings, have older discs? Forget it.

I bought this dvd player to get into the SONY name in dvd.

I liked the way Sony duplicated the connections on the rear. You can double connect this dvd player so you can watch a dvd on your tv without using the receiver and connect the...

Pros: None
Cons: Everything

While I thought Sony had a good reputation, it's one that has tarnished over the past few years. This has definitely put me over the edge from ever buying Sony again, unless I'm looking for something cheap and that doesn't last too long.

I...

Pros: Good price, great DVD performance
Cons: Poor CDR support, sometimes have to press buttons twice

Got this as a gift, and enjoyed it fully until I tried playing an audio CDR on it. Turns out that the laser has problems with most media due to reflectivity. Only a couple of brands work such as Circuit City STI brand, and Prime Peripherals (which as...

Pros: sleek in design, good display features.
Cons: Doesn't play mp3's, cd-R's, cd-RW's...while others do.

It plays dvd's just fine and all features work well. The playback picture is very good as is the audio. But most dvd players have exceptional video/audio playback as well. I opened it up and looked inside and it is definitely a quality built...

Pros: Plays DVDs.
Cons: Will very likely stop working within 18 months.

The first Sony DVP-S360 player I bought failed the first day I had it. It would give the message NO DISC and refuse to play DVDs. Fine, I got a bad one. I took it back to the store and they replaced it.

I was pleased with my new DVP-S360 for...

Pros: Easy to use, great features, low profile
Cons: The spinning discs sound a little loud for my taste.

My wife and I scouted Best Buys and Circuit City until we settled for this model by Sony. It offers all the features we were looking for and was mid-range in price, comparable to other less reputable brands. It has a low profile, so it is great for...

Pros: Reasonable price for features and Sony-brand quality
Cons: Broke down after 8 months, cheaper to buy a new one than to fix

We bought this Sony DVD player primarily because of the quality we had come to expect from Sony products and because it had the features we wanted. We combined it with a Sony receiver and surround sound system.

It functioned as advertised,...
