Sony DVP-S 735

On making my decision on what DVD player too buy too replace my old Philips 710 player, I went too many test centres and read many reviews. The hardest decision was the Pinoneer or the SONY 735. Originally, I was going too stick too my budget and get a SONY 325 or 525 However the more I looked into it the more I saw the advantages of spending a little more money and protecting myself against the future by getting the top of the range model that offers not only DD 5.1 sound but also DTS aswell as two scart outputs. The petite factor for me, which sold me this player over the Pioneer was the ... more

Sony DVP S735D DVD Player This has got to be the best DVD Player in the market today. It has a full aluminium casing and very pleasing to the eye and as my friends say “sexy” I used to have an old Panasonic Compact model and just purchased this one last week at PDS440.00. I thought I’d wait about a week before I gave my opinion on it. I know the price might be a bit steep but this is the best DVD Player around and if you’re a movie freak like me you will appreciate the full benefits of this player. The picture quality is crystal clear and this is enhanced with what Sony ... more

High reviews, high prices, high performance!

I bought this dvd player a while ago but it still works the same every time! Plays mostly all types of DVDs and VCDs which is useful! The remote control is quite fiddley, as the buttons are close together people may find it difficult. It's value for money is very high indeed, DTS out-put and picture enhancing makes the images beutiful. Sound enhancement for your TV speakers are good, but nothing beats the real home cinema speaker systems! On screen menus are extremely helpful, it's easy to understand and quick to set up audio and picture preferences. Try connecting this to a home cinema ... more

I've had a few DVD players, but wanted one for a close friend who hasn't gone to DVD yet because of the complicated controls. This Sony has a lot going for it; the controls on the unit are neat and clear, the remote fits in the hand as though it had grown from it and I had it going through its paces within minutes of connecting it up. That the picture quality was excellent goes without saying since it IS Sony after all; I had a problem initially with Region1/NTSC discs running as black and white, but switching to SCART RGB from the quick menu cured that rapidly. As I was buying it for someone ... more
