Sony DVP-NS325B DVD Player (Black),

This review is from: Sony DVP-NS325B DVD Player, Black (Electronics)
I'm the electronics geek / enthusiast in the family. So, it came as a surprise that my wife informed me she was off to pick out a DVD player for the family! What she brought home was this really nice Sony DVP-NS325B DVD Player (Black), loaded with features that make it useful for everyday play. It doesn't record but the sound and picture from every disc we've played (from Finding Nemo, the Indiana Jones Trilogy and even some borrowed dvd club copies) have been absolutely top notch.
The remote control as mentioned earlier is easy to use and logically laid out. This is a reasonably priced DVD player, one disc at a time, nothing fancy machine that may not impress your friends by how much it cost, but WILL impress them with the gorgeous picture and sound.

Slim design, Sony reputation, a few missing features,

This is a basic player with the Sony name and quality. Good picture, simple but functional remote, easy to operate. This was a replacement for my DVP-S330, which after a few years of loyal service finally gave out. Unit feels solid and well-made. It is not a progressive-scan unit, does not support WMA or JPEG, but does support DVD-R and DVD-RW, which were my main care-abouts. If you have a progressive-scan-capable TV, you probably aren't looking for an $89 DVD player anyway. It has a very slim design if space is a concern. As far as single-disc players go, you are certainly paying something for the Sony name, since you can get a JVC or Panasonic unit with more features for the same price. If you are partial to Sony and don't need WMA or JPEG support, go with this one.

Digital at last!,
July 25, 2003 This review is from: Sony DVP-NS325B DVD Player, Black (Electronics)
I was given this DVD player as a gift from a friend, and with that I entered the digital age of video. It is a great improvement over the VHS player I had, and I had a hi-fi VHS player with four heads and all the bells and whistles intended to give a clear and stable picture. Quite frankly, there is no comparison. The picture when playing DVDs is crystal clear, through playback, fast-forward, reverse, and still. Of course there is occasionally fuzziness due to the motion of the action on screen, but in comparison to the stills and fast speeds of the VCR, again this player wins easily.There are some interesting features, like DVD lock-outs (I haven't had the need, but perhaps a family with young children could use it to prevent adult-rated DVDs from being viewed), and disc-resume for several discs (the documentation tells me up to 6 discs, but I've only ever used it one at a time). I had wondered how one saves a spot on a film the way one does on VHS tapes; now I...Read more
