Sony. Small footprint. Good sound and video. Comes with RCA cable, so I ordered component cable to improve picture clarity. I’m very satisfied. Now we can easily watch movies in bed. For $39, this is a great deal for use with a second tv. Enjoy.

I was looking for a replacement to my old dvd player. I found this one to be efficient, better than my last one–which was part of a combo dvd/vcr–and plays everything (including slightly damaged disks) I’ve put into it. I couldn’t ask for a better, inexpensive, easy to use, dvd player.

This was my first dvd player, and it was very easy for me to set up and begin playing, without getting bogged down in the instructions. I do not have a cable box, and it works plugged directly into the tv.

Does just what I needed. Plays DVD’s and easy to use. Small and slick design. Remote has all the options I need. Good buy for the money. I liked the option to set the aspect ratio.

When I say little, I mean little. This thing is thin and tiny. So if you are looking to add to an impressive display of audio/visual equipment in your home theatre move along. For functionality, ease of use, quality of device it is awesome! I can take a movie out watch a bunch of other movies and then stick the first back in there and it starts off right where I left it. I love not having to look through all the scenes.

I bought two of these by mistake and didn’t realize it until they arrived. Since my husband’s ancient DVD player was still working, he didn’t want the extra one, but we decided to keep it for a spare. After he saw how impressed I was with mine, he hooked the other one up to his TV. We both love the player. The controls are SO easy to see and operate, the quality and features are excellent, the unit is small and lightweight, and you can’t beat the price!

This player plays all my DVD, Video CD, computer produced disks, and all others I own. One great feature is that it continues from where it last stopped. This is especially useful since I seldom sit through a complete movie.

Very good! Light weight, small foot print, good quality. User friendly. Easy hook-up.
My husband is hearing impaired and needs Close Captioning. This Sony does the trick!
I would definitely recommend this to a friend.

At first it was hard adjusting to the limited means of playing my old LPs, especially with belts on turntables wearing out, styli going bad, etc. But equally discouraging was the discovery that, with the exception of those cheapo disc-sized players sold at the drugstore for twenty bucks (made by GPX, Emerson, Coby, J-Win, etc., and guaranteed to last a week or two), the major companies–Sony, Panasonic, etc.–had given up on CDs as a medium altogether (young people rarely buy CDs anymore). So I was beginning to despair of finding something other than my computer drive for playing CDs.
Then the idea came to me (slow and late, as usual). Why not look for an “ordinary” DVD player, if one still exists (it won’t be long before even the “upconverting” models are history). This Sony is less expensive than the disc-sized portable players I had once used–and it’s no more than the size and weight of 2-3 of those little frisbees. Incredibly compact, yet coming with an ample-sized remote and features like component cable connections (in addition to composite ones), compensation for different formats (4:3 vs. 16:9, video vs. movie), even a convenient timer button for determining the time used and remaining on an individual track or the entire disc.)
I don’t plan to use it with a monitor, though its size and weight would make it the machine of choice for travel–whether on a vacation or to the old tube set in the basement. It’ll play CDs, MP3 discs, DVDs, and practically anything else you throw at it, and it’s just passed a couple of road tests by playing slightly damaged CDs that had jammed my car’s player. It’s hard to square something like this Sony with the large and expensive DVD players that first began appearing just 6-7 years ago. It’s a black, sleek sliver of a thing, but it performs with the best of them (perhaps even including some upconverting models). Unless you plan to upload all of your CDs as compressed files stored in your computer (I know someone who did so but can’t stop kicking himself now), this item at under 40 Prime may be just the ticket.

In brief: It does what I want a DVD-player to do, and at a great price.
Why I gave it 5 stars: We usually don’t watch an entire DVD in one sitting, so a player’s ability to “remember” where it was after being turned off/on is crucial to us. This one does that. Even better, it “remembers” the most recent SIX discs, if we happen to change discs before finishing some of them.
A sales person at a a local store told us that “all disc players do that now.” Well, the one he sold us (Toshiba) did not do it, and the fine print in it’s manual confirmed that it couldn’t, so back it went.
Other nice features (that I assumed all players have, until I tried some of them): It starts up very fast (about 15 seconds, and, as a bonus, just pressing “Play” turns it on and starts the disc if there’s one already in the tray). Fast-forward shows a smooth picture at 2x and 4x, rather than jumping from scene to scene. There’s also a “slightly faster/slower” feature (1.4x down to 0.6x, in steps of -0.2) that lets you hear the sound: good for getting through boring scenes more quickly, without missing anything.
The unit is tiny, but looks and feels well-made. Its buttons are on the top edge. It comes with a COMPOSITE cable, but the unit itself also can accept COMPONENT. That’s how I hooked it up, and the picture looks as good to me as Hi-Def from the cable company. (This is on a 32-inch, 720p screen.)
The remote control is very small, but uses 2 AA batteries, so the batteries should last a long time. The remote doesn’t have an “Eject” button, but since you have to be at the unit to put a disc in or take it out, this makes no difference. The remote’s “Input Select” button doesn’t work with my VISIO TV, but it’s VOLUME control does work with the VISIO (code 04). The “Input Select” issue is not enough of a drawback to lower my 5-star rating … especially after having tried, and returned, two other kinds of disc players at my friendly, local store. (They were very understanding, especially since they’d assured me in advance that the units would do what the units did not do.)
Minor bonus: Amazon delivered it a day earlier than expected.
