Customer Review: Great Value for a Great Price
Summary: 5 Stars
My old Sony DVD player, which was the same model started getting some problems after 7 years of performing an excellent duty. I decided to by the same model again and was amazed that the price dropped significantly. I paid less than half what I paid the last time. DVD players got cheaper, but not that much cheaper.
Compared to some other DVD players that are around the same price and which I know personally from own experience or from experiences by friends of mine, does the Sony provide a much better quality in picture and sound than those.
You can certainly buy a more "fancy" DVD player with a lot more gimmicks for a much higher price, but if what you do is just playing back your DVD movies, from the original disc or DVD-R/DVD+R backup (single and dual layer), this Sony will do just fine. It does not have the ability to play back MP3 Cd's, but I honestly never used such feature, even when I had it with a different DVD player.
Customer Review: Awesome DVD player for the price

I've had this DVD player a few weeks now and have watched a couple dozen DVDs. None have given me any problems, including scratched DVDs and DVDs burnt on cheap media which would freeze and skip on my old econo DVD player.
The pros: The user interface is excellent. It seems solid, quick to respond, and well made. I love the speed up/slow down feature, very cool. It's sleek and compact looking, excellent remote control response range.
The cons: The remote will not program for too many TVs, there's only about a dozen codes and none of them work for my older TV. I'm sure it's fine if you're TV is from the last 5 years or so, or a very common older one though.
This model is one of very few DVD players I looked at that wasn't made in China, definitely a plus in my book (although many other Sonys are).
I can't yet speak for long-term use, but overall, I'm very impressed.
Customer Review: Works just great

Just close to having this new player for three months and I have been nothing but pleased with it's performance. I watch lots and lots of movies and most of them are rentals. My old player was having a real hard time playing beat up/scratched rental disks. So, the main thing I wanted with a new player was for it to be able to read these badly scratched disks. Mission accomplished. I have not had one solitary problem with any disk I have placed in this player, and I have put some real scratched up disks in it. No problem. If I can get another year or two of playing perfection out of this machine, I will be very pleased. I highly recommend this player. The price is just excellent, also.Customer Review: Highly recommend!

I visited an electronics store recently and brought a few DVDs (both -R and +R) that I made on my PC. We hooked up 3 players selling for about the same price. The Philips player kept stalling and pausing and then stopped completely after a few minutes. The Toshiba SD-4000 was the same, couldn't play my homemade DVDs. I got a little worried.
Finally, the Sony DVP-NS57P worked perfectly, no problem at all! I'm very, very happy and can now play any of my DVDs. It's definitely the best for me and for anyone not concerned with features most people don't use.
So, I've saved you a lot of hassle of testing machines. Get this one.
Customer Review: Sony DVD player
Summary: 5 Stars
This unit works well. I am simply using it to play workout videos, nothing more. It has a slim/sleek design, so if space is an issue for you, this unit is ideal.
If you are looking to build a state-of-the-art home theatre system, you will need a DVD player with more inputs/outputs. Of course, I would recommend the Sony Blu-Ray DVD player. I do have this player and it is amazing with a high def plasma or LCD (1080P) TV. But, I digress, since I am not reviewing the Blu-ray unit.
In short, if you are looking for a basic DVD player just to watch standard definition movies on, this unit will work just fine.
