Sony DVP-NS38B - good cheap multiregion DVD player

Advantages: Cheap, Multiregion, Works well
Disadvantages: A bit complicated!

...finally died, I bought the Sony DVP-NS38 B as its replacement for approximately £60. My requirements for a DVD player were extremely basic: I wanted an entry level multi-region DVD player. So I headed off to my local Richer Sounds and had a look at the two or three that satisfied my requirements and didn't look too flimsy and picked the one that they happened to have in stock. According to the manual, as well as commercial DVDs, this model supports ...
...Music CD and CD-RW/-R. The DVD player is very thin, meaning that not many buttons or controls fit on it, and the LED display is very small and does not contain a lot of information. In terms of outputs - it has a digital audio coax and a SCART socket. On the front of the case there are the following buttons: standby, open/close, play and stop. With the number of DVDs that require menu selection, the lack of up/down buttons is frustrating as it means ...

Review of Sony DVP NS 38

A small review, on a small dvd player

Advantages: Small and compact
Disadvantages: Not as stylish as most DVD players

This is what to expect from such a well know company, with such a good reputation. I bought this a few months ago to use as a DVD player in my room, so that i didnt have to keep transporting the one from downstairs all the time. If you're like me and dont have the space to keep a big box next to the TV then this is great instead of a standard size one. The size is the main reason i bought it, because my room is cluttered and if I had anything else ...
...wondeful. I have taken it round a few friends houses that don't have a DVD player so that we could watch some movies. It is easy to transport, all you need to do is unplug it from the TV and pop it in your pocket. Just joking it's not that small. The quality that the player produces is brilliant considering the size of it. The quality is just as good as my Hyundai one downstairs. You can make your own fascias for it but I dont do that, but it would ...

Review of Sony DVPPQ2

Multi region?

Advantages: divx compatible + multi region
Disadvantages: had to do a bit of research to enable full multi region ability

I've been looking for a divx player for a while now, and wanted one with multi region capability also. I eventually bought this dvd player from amazon.co.uk, as it was clearly labelled 'multi region'. Reading the reviews on amazon, some said it was multi region straight out of the box. For me, when putting any other region dvd other than 2, it played in black and white. After a bit of research, and thinking I'd have to fork out more money to get ...
...is multi region, but my tv was not understanding the video format of the region 1 disc. A simple solution I discovered is simply to change the colour settings on the dvd menu (when there is no disc in it) to RGB. Having achieved this, I am now a very happy customer! All region discs now play in full colour, as do divx formats, CD-RW etc. On top of the function, the box is a sleek looking player. Very slim and very pretty. Furthermore I got it for ...

Review of Sony DVP-NS 36

Rebadged LG unit reborn as lemming

Advantages: None that I can see, other than it is no longer made
Disadvantages: waste of resources and money.

...I pay the premium for Sony if I wanted an LG??? Frankly this would not matter if it actually worked. First failed after 1 month, second after 18 months. Just bought a Panasonic DMREZ27 which cost less (with 5 year warranty), works better and appears to be made by Panasonic. Absolutely gutted that Sony would do this, gone from lifelong Sony fan to never again. Check internet to confirm these failures, all laser heads. Cost > 100 to repair, so not ...

Review of Sony RDR-GX 210 S

Does everything but brush your teeth !!

Advantages: Cheap, easy to install, easy to use, great picture quality, great audio pick up, wide range of features
Disadvantages: -----None-----

I picked up the Sony DVP-NS 30 from Ebay for £35 recently after reading a few good reviews around the internet. I've never been one to compare prices in the shops but the price seemed reasonable and despite the reservations I had in the back of my mind about how good a £35 DVD player could actually be I made my purchase and awaited delivery. The picture above shows the sleek and sexy DVD player in all its glory. The Sony website states that it is ...
...bought 5 DVD players, the Sony NVP-NS 30 being the fifth. Over this period I have averaged approximately £100 per player prior to purchasing the DVP-NS 30 and have never had as many features at my fingertips. Regardless of your budget, this product should be your first option should you wish to purchase a DVD player. It is cheap, easy to set up, has a wide range of features and has a remote that does everything but brush your teeth. Truly awesome ...
