Product Description

The DVP-NS57P/B DVD player features Precision Cinema Progressive technology, providing sharper images for a better viewing experience. Unlike other DVD players that detect image changes at the Scan line level-Sony's Precision Cinema Progressive (PCP) system detects them at the Pixel level. This results in images closer to the original source data, because separate, optimized algorithms are used to handle the differing Pixel behavior. Separate algorithms are also used to process the moving and still parts of an image, resulting in sharp backgrounds with moving objects that are free from motion artifacts. Sony's Precision Drive III mechanism is also included, which helps maximize the performance of DVD collections by reading data even on some physically "warped" discs. Other benefits include fast/slow playback with sound, and custom parental control.

Works fine - William Masterson, May 02, 2008

This was reputed to play beat up Netflix discs better than others. I've only had a couple of skips and not refusals to play since I started using it. It indeed plays discs that will gag my old Phillips player. I don't see a difference in picture quality.

DVD Player - D. L. Smith, Apr 28, 2008

For a reasonable price, our Sony DVP-NS57P/B Progressive-Scan DVD Player is a fine DVD player. Let's just hope that it lasts longer than our previous DVD player or at least until we move up to a high definition unit.

Good stop-gap until blu-ray comes down - Brian F. Close, Apr 24, 2008

I got this player when my panasonic spindle motor died (new motor $35, and I'd have to install it versus new player for $50). Does everything it is suppose to do, but you have to use the remote to bounce around cd tracks. I haven't tried the jpeg feature yet. It is odd that it does not have an optical digital hook up, but the coax digital works fine (cable not included).

So for $50 this is a good stop gap with many features until Blu-ray players reach a reasonable price.

Sony unit is a great price for excellent quality - Dennis A. Sall, Apr 23, 2008

I was looking for a good quality DVD player selling at a good price. Did I get a real winner. The Sony DVP-NS57P/B Progressive Scan DVD Player was perfect. Amazon's delivery was flawless and the unit was easy to set-up and worked like a charm. I do not yet have a wide/flat screen TV, so I didn't want to invest a lot of money in case the unit would not be compatible. I have used it for several weeks without a problem - just three clicks and the money is up and running. And, the slow fast forward is new for me and allows you to see the action not simply jump to the next section. At $50 this is a steal.

Specs are wrong! - J. Alexander, Apr 17, 2008

Just bought this player and it might be fine but it doesn't have the TOS link that is mentioned in the specifications so we need to send it back :(
