Sony DVP-S530D DVD Player

Pros: Picture and sound quality
Cons: a little expensive

I love my DVD player. Although the a lot more expensive than the VCR the DVD features are worth it. I love playing my favorite scenes in slow motion without all those horrible lines you get with VHS.The clear and crisp picture and sound is just awesome....

Pros: See review for list
Cons: See review for list

It's still a little early and DVD hasn't quite come into it's own - but it will, I can assure you. I purchased my Sony DVD player about a month ago and have been using it frequently. I have come up with a list of pros and cons about it (and DVD in...

Pros: Advanced features like DTS, DSP and Dolby 5.1 Channel Output
Cons: remote not backlit and a bit confusing

This DVD player was my favorite purchase of the year! For $350 it has everything you need in a DVD player and more! Originally I bought the Philips 825 but found it to be a bit limiting (read my epinion on it), so I shopped around some more and found the...

Pros: Superb Video, Stunning Audio, Easy to operate, A veritable plethora of audio and video outputs
Cons: No BNC video connectors, could use a front-panel audio level control

I used to be a retail dealer (in Alaska) of Hi-Fi and Video Products. Among the product lines I carried were Sony Hi-Fi (Consumer) and Sony Professional. Call me biased, or call me prejudiced when it comes to Sony Products, but the performance, the...

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: Mind blowing quality
Cons: no noise reduction option on this model

I recently purchased the Sony 530 and I must say that without a doubt, it is the best 400 bucks I have ever spent. The picture quality is amazing,even with composite hook ups, stunning sound also with Dolby Digital. Anyone who is looking for a first DVD...

Pros: Crisp, Clear, Sharp
Cons: I cant find any

I bought this amazing product because I knew that DVDs are the wave of the future. They beat out VCRs and VTRs by far. DVD players don't have any annoying lines, no rewinding after done watching and you can skip from one side to the other in less then a...

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: Great Picture, Tons of Options
Cons: Can not play CDRs and CDRWs

I purchased this dvd player in the past two weeks and i would definitely have to say that it has a good amount of features that make vhs look primitive. Unfortunately, the one thing that prevents this model and most dvd players from eliminating the cd...

Pros: Features
Cons: The Suggester retail price

The Sony 530 has everything you'll ever need in a DVD player. Most notably, the chapter selector on the face is a feature worth paying for and one not available on the lower-end models. Funny enough, when I was reviewing the differences in the models, I...

Pros: Reasonable price, great features, S-video connectors
Cons: none so far

I got a DVD-ROM in my new computer and thought that would be enough - after all, with a 17" screen and speakers, how bad could it be? The primary use for my DVDs was for travel purposes - I could stick one in a laptop and avoid those cut up...

Pros: the best
Cons: none

I have to admit that when my husband and I first started looking into DVD players we did not have a clue as to what we were getting into. So we checked out all of the products and finally got a Sony DVD player. I have to say it was our salesperson who...

Pros: Quality Video and Audio
Cons: Owners Manual needs an update for the novice user

I had been shopping for a DVD player for several years and finally settled on the SONY DVP-S530D last month. This machine is everything I thought it would be for home use. Once setup, it provides great quality pictures and theater quality sound. This...

Pros: Excellent player with great features.
Cons: No built in DTS and no zoom function.

I recently traded in a JVC XV-501BK for a Sony DVP530D due to problems with the JVC player. I've had the Sony for about 2 months and am very happy with it. The only feature it doesn't have that would be useful is a zoom function. The picture quality...

Pros: Inexpensive, Component plugs
Cons: Spinning of DVD is loud

I bought this product back in June of 1999. It was a great value because of it's low price and component capabilities. The picture is great and sound is awesome. There are many different options to chose from. If you are looking for an entry level DVD...
