Sony DVP-S530D DVD Player

Pros: extra features, ease of use
Cons: that stupid wheel on the remote

Before I purchased this wonderful piece of technology I very rarely bought movies or even rented them for that matter. This DVD player makes movie watching an enjoyable experience. I have had my DVD player for about a month and a half and I...

Pros: Easy to use
Cons: Complicated to hook up

This Sony DVD player is definitely well worth the $349-$399 price you can find it for at many retailers. It is usable with a Dolby Digital-Ready receiver as it has the Dolby Digital decoder built-in, thus it is a nice piece of equipment if you have a...

Pros: sleek, affordable
Cons: plagued with problems

My first DVD player experience has been frustrating! When we first noticed the audio/video sync problems, we thought it was us. Then the movies started to freeze halfway through and start from the beginning. The last straw was when an audio cd we...

Pros: very good picture, user friendly
Cons: sensitive lens

Purchasing this product was not as easy as buying just any electronic mechanism. It took time, and convincing. I asked a lot of questions because I couldn't understand the difference between other products that functioned along the same line. However,...

Pros: Sound and Screen Clarity
Cons: Price

After hearing all the buzz and looking in the paper at other DVD
players, I decided to go out and purchase one. I looked at the
shelf and talked to several knowledgeble salespeople and decided
to purchase the cheapest Sony one that Best...

Pros: Quality, Great Features, Low Price
Cons: none

My boyfriend and I bought this DVD player over a year ago, and have enjoyed it immensely. We have had no problems what so ever with the player, and use it on a daily basis. We bought it for about $350 dollars in November of 1998 and for the price it had...

Pros: Excellent quality picture and sound
Cons: Somewhat of a price problem

The Sony DVP-S530D compares to no other DVD player currently out there. This baby blows VHS cassettes out of the water. I have never seen such great quality of sound and visual effects anywhere besides the movie theater. The difference in quality is like...

Pros: Great Quality
Cons: skips and freezes the movie

I purchased the Sony DVP-S530D DVD player about 3 months ago. Since then I have had problems with it freezing the movies. I have returned 5 movies now just to try a new on but it happens again and again. I get half way through a good movie and all...

Pros: Reasonable price, great features, S-video connectors
Cons: none so far

I got a DVD-ROM in my new computer and thought that would be enough - after all, with a 17" screen and speakers, how bad could it be? The primary use for my DVDs was for travel purposes - I could stick one in a laptop and avoid those cut up...

Pros: Features
Cons: The Suggester retail price

The Sony 530 has everything you'll ever need in a DVD player. Most notably, the chapter selector on the face is a feature worth paying for and one not available on the lower-end models. Funny enough, when I was reviewing the differences in the models, I...

Pros: Ease of setup and use
Cons: minor disc reading problems

I recently bought this player not knowing much about it. I was excited with the idea of finally getting a DVD player. I must say that I was not disappointed with this purchase. Everything about it is very easy. The setup and the remote control unit are...

Pros: Great system, no disc skips/lipsynch/errors, built in decoder
Cons: None that I know of.

I recently bought one of these from a guy on E-bay. First off I would like to warn people - Never buy a product from Emerson. I am completely amazed at how much Sony blew away my previous dvd player, an Emerson DVD 2000. The 530D plays all my discs fine...

Pros: good quality picture and audio

I've been looking for a DVD player for several months checking out prices online and off. I finally decided to go with Sony and purchased the S-530D for an amazing $319.00 well below the $399 asking price of many Online stores. I really didn't think the...

Pros: Reliablity, Easy hookup, built in features
Cons: Owner's manual hard to read

If, you are in the market to take a step towards the future of video, then look no further than this Sony DVD player. I have been looking at DVD players for quite a while and have gotten so many different opinions that it would make your head swim....
