Sony DVP-NC85H Multi-disc DVD Player

Pros: Great for the price and upscales to 1080i

Cons: A little bulky

The Bottom Line: I love this DVD Player. I love the picture and sound quality and we think it has been the best player that we have ever bought.

Review: We needed to buy a new DVD player at one time and bought a DVD Recorder. Well our DVD Recorder didn’t play back movies very well and so, yet again we were in the market for another DVD Player. We were looking for one at Best Buy and saw this ...

Pros: All the features you will need until the HD standard is decided.

Cons: Long time between power on and playback.

The Bottom Line: I hear people making fun of Sony audio/video products, but their DVD players cannot be outdone for home users.

Review: Six months ago I donated my last Sony multi-disc player to one of my friends who needed a new DVD player and did not have the cash. Besides it had served me well for about eighteen months, and it gave me the excuse to buy a new toy for me. I liked all of ...

Pros: Lots of options, 5-disc, quick

Cons: Limited front display; slow to power on/play

Review: This is an easy to use upconverting player, supporting 480i, 480p, 720p, and 1080i. I'm using it on a 1080p set and it looks incredible. Great sound options as well. The 5-disc allowed me to replace my old Sony CD Player as well, and save a digital ...

Pros: great picture quality

Cons: Its a bit slow loading the DVD.

Review: This DVD player was bought to go with the LCD Sharp TV. I didn't think that a DVD player could make that much difference in the quality in the picture. Hooking this up side by side with the old Sony DVD player you can really tell the difference. With ...

Pros: Video Quality, Sound Quality, Hd Upconversion, Price, Very quiet operation.

Cons: Flimsy remote, slower load times.

Review: I bought the Sony upconvert player because my previous player was several years old and was experiencing problems. I am highly impressed with this player. I have it hooked up to a projector using an HDMI cable, and the picture quality is excellent. The ...

Pros: Excellent Video and Audio output. Plenty of features. Easy to Set Up.

Cons: Flimsy construction. Toy-like remote.

The Bottom Line: Sony "Quality" may not be in the packaging, but the ultimate results speak volumes.

Review: After nearly 5 years of what seemed like constant use, my JVC DVD player decided to call it quits. Who can blame it after countless hours of playing Pixar movies, Care Bear episodes, Baby Einstein offerings as well as a smattering of Rush concerts...but ...

Pros: Fastplay and Slowplay, disc exchange, excellent picture and sound quality, large variety of compatible discs

Cons: Bulky, appears light and flimsy. Not many controls on the player.

The Bottom Line: This DVD player is well worth keeping in mind if you are in the market for a multi-DVD player. Be prepared for soemthing wide and deep though!

Review: I got this DVD player as part of a home-theater package when I bought the Sony HT-7000DH home-theater system. My review of the DVD player here is going to repeat some of the points I made in my review of the home-theater system. Essentially, this DVD ...

Pros: Exceptional tracking - at first

Cons: Doesn't last long under heavy playing

The Bottom Line: Although I was impressed with the tracking ability of this machine at first, ultimately it didn't last. I recommend a brand with better longevity

Review: I purchased the Sony DVPNC85H/B from Amazon to replace a Panasonic 5-disc changer that had begun to die after 5 years. The Sony provided excellent picture, sound, and tracking - for about a year. After about a year it began having trouble tracking, ...

Pros: None compared to similarly priced units

Cons: Not durable

Review: Bought this at Sears in 05/2005. By December, I was having intermittent problems with disc changing. By February 2006, system would totally lock on a single disc, would not change and would not play. Wish I had found my ...

Pros: Cheap

Cons: Not as advertised, non-existent return policy

Review: Purchased unit due to high ratings and product specification to play CDs. Will not work without attached TV. This is not stated in product description. Neither SONY nor retailer (Etronics) offers any type of return or exchange option. Totally useless ...
