Sony DVP-NS57P/B Progressive Scan DVD Player Product Description

Product Description Sony’s DVP-NS57P/S is a versatile DVD player with
many features at an affordable price. It delivers excellent picture and sound
quality so you get the most out of your movies. The Precision Drive 3 system
allows you to playback some DVDs that may have been damaged or warped without a
degradation of picture quality. Thought it’s an excellent DVD player, it can
also be used as your CD or MP3 player. For gatherings, use it to share photos
with friends and families. You can’t go wrong with this stylish home-theater
sized DVD player, it is a perfect complement to your TV.
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.

Great Value for a Great Price

My old Sony DVD player, which was the same model started getting some
problems after 7 years of performing an excellent duty. I decided to by the
same model again and was amazed that the price dropped significantly. I paid
less than half what I paid the last time. DVD players got cheaper, but not that
much cheaper. Compared to some other DVD players that are around the same price
and which I know personally from own experience or from experiences by friends
of mine, does the Sony provide a much better quality in picture and sound than
those. You can certainly buy a more “fancy” DVD player with a lot more gimmicks
for a much higher price, but if what you do is just playing back your DVD
movies, from the original disc or DVD-R/DVD+R backup (single and dual layer),
this Sony will do just fine. It does not have the ability to play back MP3
Cd’s, but I honestly never used such feature, even when I had it with a
different DVD player….read more ….

Sony DVP-NS57P: Not bad for a low-priced player, but not problem-free,
either.

Pros: Easy to connect/set up, inexpensive, works with most TV brands
Cons: It’s not really HD ready….and it has a few issues with playback. When I
purchased my S amsung LN-T2643H high definition TV in mid-January of 2008, I
was faced with two non-critical and somewhat related questions about the analog
TV I was replacing and whether or not I should get a ……read more….
