Editorial Review:Item 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.

* Good but not great. Good price, though! ...
This unit wasn't expensive so I gave it a try. As other reviewers have mentioned, it is annoyingly slow to boot up, read a disc, and start playing. The other really annoying "feature" is that there is no eject button on the front of the unit. So, if you walk up to your entertainment center with a DVD, you can't open the tray. You have to walk back to the couch, find the remote, and open the tray. Then you can go put in a disc. Then you need the remote again to close the tray (a gentle push on the tray will NOT close it!) Seems like a simple thing I took for granted with my previous players, but now it's kind of annoying on this one. I guess I'll get used to it some day and remember to just pick up the remote before I get up to put in a DVD, but I haven't yet. Still worth it for only $50, but I wish they had added this simple feature.

* Great for the price! ...
A standard DVD player, for a great price. I bought this because my room needed one, and we just wanted something simple, good, and cheap. It plays the dvd's I bought and has good picture quality. Really simple to use, and comes in silver or black.

* Great inexpensive DVD player ...
I got this unit as an "open box" on amazon, and it has pleased us in every way.
Is it a high end blue ray player? No, but we sure didn't pay for one.
The remote works great, and it interfaced w/o issue with our Sony TV. Unexpected bonus.
