Review on Sony DVP NC625 5 Disc Changer Black by Hamilton Larcony

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Be careful when burning your own VCDs or SVCDs

We draw and use VCDs (Video CDs) at work and we bought one of these units to play music CDs, internal VCDs and our own and commercial DVDs. The documentation states that the player supports all of this plus CD/RW. Not true. The machine will indeed reproduce all of the above, it's just not very good at it. Commercial DVDs seem to work just as well as music CDs, but this player sucks at playing VCDs. The picture is very poor, much worse than any other desktop player I've tried, and the audio on the VCD is completely out of sync. I couldn't believe a Sony unit could be such a disaster so we sent the unit back for a replacement. I had to assume that the first machine was defective. Not so. The second player is just as bad as the first. It's a very poorly designed player, at least for Video CDs. We haven't tried the player with our own DVDs and now that I think about it, we haven't tried it with home music CDs. I would recommend being careful with this player.

Pros
  • 5-disc DVD changer with DVD-Video, DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+RW, CD-R, CD-RW support and MP3 CD
