Sony DVP-S530D DVD Player

Pros: Lots of features, good picture and sound
Cons: RELIABILITY, can't read CDRs

This is the worst audio/video component I have ever owned. That's surprising, since I thought Sony had a pretty good reputation.

I've owned this about three years. After two years, it broke. It wouldn't recognize any discs in it (always...

Pros: Output selection
Cons: Reliability

I purchased a Sony DVP-S530D DVD player 15 months ago- and yesterday I got a 'C 13:00' error on the screen. The unit had worked great up to that point; it ran a bit hot, but aside from that it was fine. I had no idea what this error message was - so I...

Pros: Works ok, that is when it turns on, and doesn't overheat, or lose sync.
Cons: Have to leave it unplugged for 10 minutes before use/eject, loses sync during play.

I bought this DVD player a little over a year ago and it worked great. Sometimes the movies would be out of sync with the sound, giving it a weird "lip-synced" look to it, but I assumed it was a problem with the DVD I was watching. Sony's web site...

Pros: It plays DVD's
Cons: It fell apart the first day I got it.

Some dogs have big ears, some have fluffy tails, some of them like chew toys and the rest of them are crazy. i have a dog who likes to eat rats for his breakfast (aren't I special??). La la la. Some dogs have big ears, some have fluffy tails, some of...

Pros: So easy to operate. A child can do it. Love my DVD.
Cons: I haven't found any.

I've had my player almost a year now and can't figure how or why I wanted to collect all those video tapes that are hard to store, carry and what not.

My player is light, slim and so easy to operate. I love it. The push of 3 buttons and I'm...

Pros: Excellent playback, High Quality Picture and Sound, multi -component jacks.
Cons: no jog shuttle on remote

Pros: good video quality.good sound quality. decent price
Cons: switching from dolby to dts can be annoying

This dvd player fits the bill. It has dolby 5.1 capability, dts capability, coaxial or optical inputs and you don't need a receiver for 5.1 dolby. Basically for its price this dvd player gives you quite a bit of functionality. Configuration seems...

Pros: Built In Decoder
Cons: some problems

The Sony DVP S530D is my first DVD player. I bought it in 1999 from Best Buy. At the time, the price for non-decoder versions at most outlets were this price, and I felt that I got the decoder for free. The rest of my system consists of a Nakamichi...

Pros: Easy to use full feature menu.
Cons: None

Because it is made by Sony there is never a problem with stops,freeze ups that most other players have. I have researched many different models and brands of players and this is the best for my money. I am delighted with my purchase.
Although most...

Pros: Great sound, great scenes and overall a great experience
Cons: It is really on the exspensive side

This is one of the best DVD players on the market. As well as it should too for the price that they have put on it. The tracking is unbelievable and even if the disk has scratches on it, no problem, it reads right through. Too bad all the DVD players...

Pros: Neat, high in quality, sony has done it again
Cons: Its alittle to high price

I find this product to be a very good find but the price is alittle high. I am not saying that its not worth it because by all means Sony has stood up to its reputation. Personally I have tested the player and I liked it and I would have bought it but I...

Pros: Easy to use, clear picture, well known brand
Cons: Doesn't flip sides very fluently

We got ours as an open box special and we were kind of worried but to our surprise it works wonderfully. We have had it for over a year now and have had no problems at all. The picture is clear and the remote is easy to use. The only thing we have...

Pros: Cant go past a sony. Top brand, reasonable price, great features.
Cons: A little bit more expensive than some other brands.

You really cannot go past Sony, the world's leading brand for this magnificent DVD player. It combines all of the latest features and is packed with user-friendly options. Over the past few years DVD players have really taken over from Video and now the...

Pros: good sound, good picture
Cons: none

This is a very good dvd player. I own one myself and i am very satisfied with this purchase. Not only does the outstanding picture quality make it good but the sound is great. I never thought you could really tell the difference in DVD players sound...

Pros: picture perfect, excellend system
Cons: no flaws

At first, when I saw this DVD player on sale at 469.99, i thought "you gota be kidding me". That seemed way too expensive, but after watching the floor model, i was glued to it. The sound...perfect, picture...perfect as well. Now, after having this for...
