A1 DVD Player, May 27, 2005

I recently purchased this DVD since mine broke, and this thing is nothing short of amazing. I had an older Sony dvd player I got in 2000 and it finally went, and after having so many years out of my first Sony dvd player I thought I should stick with them, and I am glad they did. First off when it says it plays all those formats it really does. I have burnt DVDs along with some VCD and SVCD and it never flinched at any of them. Also the startup time and the disc recognition time is very quick. Plus on top of everything else for all this the item costs roughly $75, and to think my first Sony was $299.99 and it wouldn't play anything but store bought CDs or DVDs. If you are looking into DVD players in this price range I highly reccomend anyone purchasing this, you will not regret it.

Nice little machine, I'm glad I bought it, June 4, 2005

I'd read reviews here & elsewhere for various brands of players and decided I'd get a Sony.
I was surprised at how small this thing is, I've got books bigger than it is!
My brother & I set it up, not too difficult altough the manual could be a little clearer on some aspects (to me anyway), leaving the settings on factory default (except for setting the screen for my standard 4:3 TV and turning off the progressive scan- which the manual tells you how to do)and have found the picture to be fine just as it is.
The sound, I think the manual says something about this, does seem to need to be turned up but is good. The picture has been good on everything I've looked at with the occaisional exception of the movie "Purple Butterfly", dark scenes needed some adjustment on it- not worth trying to reset things for.
The remote isn't bad to use either, you likely won't use half of the functions even after you understand them so don't be bothered by the sight of all of those...Read more

Don't Let Its Size Fool You, December 22, 2005

Hot Tuna (Japan) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Sony DVP-NS50P/S Single DVD Player, Silver (Electronics)

Our first ever DVD player was the Sony DVP-S717D, bought almost 5 years ago for about $1,000. It was just under their flagship model at the time and it was one heck of a player with all the bells and whistles. Unfortunately, it just wouldn't play DVDR media.

After going through catalogues to find a player compatible with most DVDR media, we settled on the DVP-NS50P. I was a bit hesitant at first because of its small size and the fact that Sony is known to have compatibility issues. But I went to the store armed with all kinds of DVDR and it came through with flying colours!

It plays everything it says it will (DVD-R/+R, DVD-RW/+RW) AND it also plays DVD+RDL which many players fail to read. This wasn't noted in the specifications. I haven't tried DVD-RDL so I don't know if it plays this type of media but I wouldn't be surprised if it did. But even if it didn't, I'm more than satisfied.

Another bonus which I accidently found out was that it plays...Read more
