Sony DVP-NS70H HDMI Single Disc DVD Player Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Having been through the Oppo 971H and the Samsung HD941 upscaling DVD players and coming away disappointed, I came at this one a little jaded thinking upscaling technology is just marketing hype.Well this player proves it's not.From the instant I first turned it on I knew it was something special. The colors it produced over HDMI (720P) were stunning on my Sharp projector. The difference between normal 480p and 720p was significant with the upscaled resolution showing more clarity and depth.Normally fuzzy background images came into focus.There are many websites that swear upscaling technology is just not possible since the DVD's native picture is only 480p and "you can't make something out of nothing".Maybe true but you sure can sharpen up what is there and that's where this player shines.

The sound it produces is another wonderful feature.Crisp clear highs and booming lows with everything in between is what you can expect from this unit.Sony was even thoughtful enough to provide both optical and coaxial audio outputs.

Others have expressed a picture shrinkage issue with this player.They make it seem like every player has it, not true.I've readthe complete forum they mentioned and several folks have said they do not have such an issue.I hate to see this great player get a bad rap because of what may be a player/display incompatibility for some folks.

I knocked a star off because Sony absolutley needs to include an HDMI cable with this.C'mon, would you buy a car and then feel good about having to pay more to get the key?

This is a great player at a great price, give it a shot - you won't be disappointed.

Product Description:
Enjoy amazing DVD playback from the single-disc, progressive scan Sony DVPNS70H multi-format player, which up-scales video to high-definition (1080i/720p) resolution and transmits high quality audio through a High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI). It's compatible with DVD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW, and CD-R/RW disc formats as well as MP3 audio and JPEG image formats.
The fast/slow playback with sound and AV Sync feature allows for the alignment of the audio track to match the video through some Televisions that have video buffers or delays. The Precision Drive 3 System compensates for flawed and warped discs by moving the lens-instead of the entire optical block for faster and more accurate error correction. Other features include virtual surround sound, a 12-bit video DAC (digital to analog converter) with 108 MHz processing, fast/slow playback with sound and AV Sync, and Precision Cinema Progressive technology.

Sony's Precision Cinema Progressive. This feature detects image changes at the pixel level versus other types that detect image changes at the scan line level.
