Sony DVP-S530D DVD Player

Pros: Superb quality
Cons: price may be high

If you know someone that is just itching for that special DVD player for their entertainment system, this is it. I got one for the as an early Christmas present, and since its purchase, I've been glued to it. The ease of use and the quality that it...

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: Compact and easy use
Cons: Hook up can be kind of confusing (but there's a book to help)

This is simply the best DVD when it comes to Price and quality. First, it's Sony, 'nuff said but for those not in the know it's the brand to buy if you want to make sure you're getting your money's worth. Second, this particular unit is Inexpensive (as...

Pros: lots of features, excellent quality
Cons: lip-synch problem in some units

I purchased a Sony DVP-S530P for $347 in April 1999, from A&B TV in Austin Texas. Overall this is an excellent product, the best mix of features and quality I found in this price range.

The 530D includes a full 5.1 channel Dolby...

Pros: Good Video, Good Audio
Cons: AV-Sync drift on 1 or 2 titles so far (out of 50)

Pros: Fast, hybrid disc playing beast.
Cons: Doesn't hold a candle to Milli Vanilli.

Pros: Excellent sound &video
Cons: Can't Play CD-R's?

I've been looking for a DVD player for several months checking out prices online and off. I finally decided to go with Sony and purchased the S-530D for an amazing $319.00 well below the $399 asking price of many Online stores. I really didn't think the...

Pros: built-in Dolby Digital Decoder, component video, simple to use, great quality picture and sound
Cons: Does your receiver decode Dolby Digital? If so, go for the 330: you don't need the built-in decoder in this player

I picked up this DVD player on a big sale, and that helped me justify the added price over the 330.

This product adds component video and a Dolby Digital decoder, over the 330. I'm looking forward to my next receiver (using my roommate's now),...
