Review on πŸ“€ Sony DVP-SR500H DVD Player with 1080p Upscaling Technology by Darryl Blumenthal

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Plays DVDs other players can't

There is only one reason I bought this DVD player: My wife and I browse through a lot of DVDs in the library and need one Player t constantly misses when we try to watch them. I have had several different brands of DVD players in the past and have found that different brands have different strengths and weaknesses. The Xbox is very cheap but won't play some DVDs and doesn't have anti-aliasing artifacts. Pioneer players play almost everything and are very reliable, but they don't handle artifacts very well. My Xbox 360 HD DVD drive smooths and scales It also almost completely eliminates digital noise on a decent DVD, but even that struggles sometimes when reading battered discs. This is not the case with this DVD player. Some people seem to complain about the lack of an eject button on the remote (which is kind of funny because you have to get up to eject the disc anyway), but that doesn't bother me at all. . This player isn't great at removing digital noise and artifacts, but the picture on my standard definition CRT in my bedroom is far from bad. The only real downside I see is that it takes a while to download and extract. If you need an SD player that can play everything, I recommend this one.
