Having had my sony unit for around 12 months now, I have decided to share some information with you.

Having recieved this DVD player as a gift, I am unsure as to how much the unit retailed at, but a quick search on most sites will give you a rough idea.

The unit is a very slimline one, fitting nicley on top of my current TV. It also is the same size as the other sony seperates available, so a system would be all the same width. It is finshed in silver, which was an unusual choice when it first debuted.

It has a SCART output and RGB as well, but for me the lack of RF (standard aeiral) output put me at a disadvantage as my old TV doesnt have any scart leads.

It is a simple to use unit, with most features accessible from the handheld. However if one was to lose this control, then several functions wouldnt be accesable.

Picture and sound quality are great, with several video and sound options available such as cimena mode, and different contrasts for the TV.

I have yet to find any disc that is unreadable in this unit, but it isnt too keen on DVD RW discs. This seems to make the menu system appear twice as large as normal. However it is still perfectly viewable.

Another nicety with the Sony, is the ability to play mp3 discs. Handy if you have backed up your CD colection onto MP3 disc. It shows song names and titles when playing these types of discs.

Overall I have been impressed with this unit, and have yet to find a problem with the actual unit.

If you need a DVD player, then you cant go far wrong with this one
