by daxjordan , Feb 03 '00
Pros: Speaks softly, carries big picture
Cons: No zoom
I like moderation, and here I have found it. This player was just the answer for someone like myself, who doesnt feel the need to blow big bucks on the top of the line, but has had too much pain buying the low end stuff. I used to sell all manner of...

Sony delivers!

by phungus Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 100, Jan 31 '00
Pros: Easy to install, great quality
Cons: Remote is a little weird

by NUKEMAN57 , Jan 29 '00
Pros: Excellent quality picture and sound
Cons: Somewhat of a price problem
The Sony DVP-S530D compares to no other DVD player currently out there. This baby blows VHS cassettes out of the water. I have never seen such great quality of sound and visual effects anywhere besides the movie theater. The difference in quality is like...
