Sony DVP-S530D DVD Player

Pros: great features, easy to use, component video output
Cons: noticed a lip synch problem a couple of times

It's a great player overall. I didn't spare the $60 for the component video cable, and I LOVE the picture. Rented Blade Runner to try it out. The picture was very sharp, clear, and the colors were beautiful. I did notice a couple of times that the sound...

Pros: Elegant Appearance
Cons: Poor Configuration Instructions

I have been looking at DVD players for several years and felt most of them did not have a "quality" appearance. I also perceived the operating controls to be too complex on most units.
This unit finally made me take the plunge and I am...

Pros: Sharp, clear picture. Excellent value for features.
Cons: Sound needs to go through stereo receiver or you are using the volume control a lot.

I purchased the Sony S530D DVD player a few weeks ago at "The Wiz". An incredible bargain at $299.99, I could not pass it up. It was easy to set up and start to play. There are so many features, there is a big learning curve to use them all. To...

Pros: It's Sony
Cons: It's Sony (price)

Okay, first off, I must say, I am not an electronic equipment authority. This may be why my recommendation of this DVD player means alot - or then again maybe not.

I have had this DVD player for several months. The picture quality is...

Pros: Very nice features, a high quality player
Cons: A little on the expensive side, may want to check out your options for that price...after all, prices are always going down

My friend owns this DVD Player, and I have gone over to his house numerous times to watch movies. The DVD Player is top of the line as far as performance. It plays the movies beautifully (skip-free and about as high-definition as I have seen). All the...

Pros: Processors are cheaper in DVD than in a receiver.
Cons: Single drawer player.

I had heard reviews of a problem occurring with this model concerning the audio track not being in sync with the video. I have since purchased the player in question and have watched over 250 movies on the player. Not once has this problem occurred. I...

Pros: High quality, easy to use
Cons: A little expensive

Recently my wife and I just purchased this Sony DVD player,
and we have been having a lot of fun playing around with it.
I have found that the control options are very self explanatory,
especially since the manual was lost. The quality of...

Pros: Two digital audio outputs, component video and S outputs
Cons: I've encountered none yet...

Just getting into DVD and not sure you want to fork over $500+ for a player? Check out Sony's DVP-S530D. Though Sony has a great name in home electronics, the price is normally commensurate with the name. This DVD player however is a different story....

Pros: Screen Saver!!!!!!!!!
Cons: Remote control

I bought this product because if the reputation Sony has. In my epinion when it comes to video, nobody does it better than Sony. My DVD player is now almost a year old and has not let me down yet. I love the screen saver it has. I hate the remote...

Pros: easy to use, inexpensive
Cons: n/a

When i originally went shopping for a DVD player, i figured id just get a new PC with DVD installed. Boy am I glad i didnt do that! My search lead me to a large retail electronics store, where upon arriving i walked directly into the DVD section. the...

Pros: Lots of features, good picture and sound
Cons: RELIABILITY, can't read CDRs

This is the worst audio/video component I have ever owned. That's surprising, since I thought Sony had a pretty good reputation.

I've owned this about three years. After two years, it broke. It wouldn't recognize any discs in it (always...

Pros: So easy to operate. A child can do it. Love my DVD.
Cons: I haven't found any.

I've had my player almost a year now and can't figure how or why I wanted to collect all those video tapes that are hard to store, carry and what not.

My player is light, slim and so easy to operate. I love it. The push of 3 buttons and I'm...

Pros: Quality, Durability, Options, and Ease of use
Cons: Higher model can get expensive

Sony has played a leading role in the entertainment experience for a good number of years. Sony's own creation of their DVD players only enhanced the quality of all DVD players already on the market. Sony set a standard with their players. Most Sony...

Pros: Easy to use, clear picture, well known brand
Cons: Doesn't flip sides very fluently

We got ours as an open box special and we were kind of worried but to our surprise it works wonderfully. We have had it for over a year now and have had no problems at all. The picture is clear and the remote is easy to use. The only thing we have...

Pros: good video quality.good sound quality. decent price
Cons: switching from dolby to dts can be annoying

This dvd player fits the bill. It has dolby 5.1 capability, dts capability, coaxial or optical inputs and you don't need a receiver for 5.1 dolby. Basically for its price this dvd player gives you quite a bit of functionality. Configuration seems...
