Sony DVPNS430

I thought I would share my experiences with you of using this Sony DVD player. My son bought the DVD player to take to university with him along with his extensive collection of DVDs which were bought much to my objection. Since he has returned from university I have been using this DVD player since the old one broke until my husband has got our new one so for now it is simply my bit on the side. In short I think this is a fantastic DVD player for the price. Here’s why: Firstly I think it has a really stylish and contemporary design.

After a while you learn where each option is, but the small logos used are not, in my opinion, ideal. The remote control does everything you ... more

Now i've just reviewed my dvd player and my parents paid £10 more for this one. I think the only difference between the two is that this one has seperate buttons for play, fast forward and rewind! To be honest it does look a lot smarter than my one as the buttons are all flush with the front of the player and it looks a bit more up market. But they paid a £10er more and i had a few drinks down the pub for that! Apart from the fact the buttons are seperate, there is absolutely no difference between the two. The remote is the same and still feels and looks a bit tacky. The DVD player still has ... more
