Precision Cinema Progressive
While other DVD players detect image changes at the scan line level, Sony's Precision Cinema Progressive (PCP) system detects them at the pixel level. This makes the picture more faithful to the source--whether film or video--because the technology uses separate, optimized algorithms to handle the differing pixel behavior. It also uses separate algorithms to process the moving and still parts of an image, resulting in sharp backgrounds with moving objects that are virtually free from motion artifacts.
MP3 and JPEG File Playback
The DVP-NS55P/S plays MP3 sound files and JPEG photo files. Simply insert the disc and use the remote control to navigate through your folders to your files. The player also recognizes image files on a Kodak photo disc.
Home Theater Compatible
The player is compatible with Dolby Digital and dts decoding and includes 96KHz 24-bit coaxial digital output and a 193 KHz 24bit audio digital-to-analog converter for analog RCA audio output. On the video side, it features a 12-bit video digital-to-analog converter with 108Mhz processing for a sharp image.

This review is from: Sony DVP-NS55P/S Single Disc DVD Player, Silver (Electronics) Although I have had this player a short time, it has played every DVD I have put in it including my wifes Thai DVDs. The Panasonic combo DVD/VCR player that this Sony replaced would not play any of my wifes DVDs and on occasion would not read some of mine until I reinserted the DVD. (to be fair to Panasonic, the VCR section of the player worked fine and the sound and picture were both good). Getting back to the Sony player, the sound and picture quality is great and seems to be an excellent match for my 36" Sony TV. 65 of 67 people found the following review helpful:  It Plays Everything Flawlessly Wthout Hanging or Skipping, By This review is from: Sony DVP-NS55P/S Single Disc DVD Player, Silver (Electronics) I use Netflix, so the DVDs I watch are frequently scratched. My old DVD player would frequently skip or stop being able to read the DVDs. I tried cleaning the DVD player's reading head with a cleaning DVD disk. No help. It became very stressful for my wife and I to watch any movie, living in fear that half way through the movie, the DVD player would stop being able to read the DVD. So we bought the Sony DVPNS55P/S based on other reviews. The Sony has played everything we've put in it flawlessly. We're very pleased. 28 of 28 people found the following review helpful: Plays All Disks - Excellent Value, By rodger "engineer" (NJ USA) - See all my reviews This review is from: Sony DVP-NS55P/S Single Disc DVD Player, Silver (Electronics) I have had an extremely poor track record in producing DVDs that play consistently well over a wide range of DVD players owned by me, friends and family. Whether I make the DVDs on a personal video recorder (PVR) off the air, or on a computer using two differnet brand DVD writers, the results have always been spotty. I have tried many different brands of media, different recording speeds and both DVD-R and DVD+R disks. The DVDs usually play fine on the PVR and on the computer drives, but not on consumer DVD players. I assume this is because most consumer DVD players are geared more for commercial DVDs and are not engineered to be as capable of reading home-made DVDs.
The Sony DVPNS55P/S stands out from the crowd in a big way! It plays virtually all commercial and home-made DVDs that I have tried on it. I liked it so much, I bought a second one for my girlfriend who complained about how incompetent I was at burning DVDs. This one works works as well as my first one,...Read more |
