Product Description:
Sony's amazingly affordable and feature-rich DVP-NS575P/B DVD player is everything a budget-savvy music and movie lover could ask for. The progressive-scan DVP-NS575P/B plays just about any disc out there--including DVD-Video, DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R, and DVD+RW--as well as spins your digital photos and MP3 files burned to CD-R/CD-RW discs. It will also play discs recorded in the DVD-VR format (which grants more flexible recording and editing options than do standard DVD-RW/+RW or DVD-RAM formats). Sony's Precision Cinema Progressive (PCP) system uses specialized algorithms to detect image changes at the pixel level, as opposed to the scan-line level, resulting in a picture more faithful to the film or video source. Whether your living room is currently home to an HDTV or you're merely thinking of "someday," the DVP-NS575P/B stands ready to deliver the full potential of your DVDs through its Precision Cinema Progressive (PCP) output and 3:2 pulldown processing. Progressive scanning, referred to as 480p for the number of horizontal lines that compose the video image, creates a picture using twice the scan lines of a conventional DVD picture, giving you higher resolution and sharper images while eliminating nearly all motion artifacts. Other DVD players detect image changes at the level of the scan-line level, while Sony's Precision Cinema Progressive (PCP) system detects them at the pixel level. The resulting picture is more faithful to the source, whether it's from film or video. That's because the player uses separate, optimized algorithms to handle the differing pixel behavior of each original format. It also uses separate algorithms to process the moving and still parts of an image, giving you sharp backgrounds and moving objects that are free from motion artifacts. DVD mastering introduces a common distortion when adjusting 24 frames-per-second movies to 30 fps video; 3:2 pulldown digitally corrects this distortion, removing the redundant information to display a film-frame-accurate picture. Composite- and S-video outputs bring compatibility with nearly any television. Further, the player offers block noise reduction (which suppresses vertical edge distortions for a smoother, more natural picture) and digital video enhancement (processing that improves the crisp contrast of picture detail while controlling unwanted artifacts like "overshoot" and "ringing"). Both Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel surround-sound signals can also be routed through the player's coaxial digital-audio output for a simpler connection to a compatible AV receiver (but be aware that a digital-audio interconnect is not supplied). Precision Drive 3 provides a mechanism for reading DVDs that are in less than perfect condition, eliminating errors in playback due to imperfect, scratched, or warped discs. Early generations of Precision Drive technology were only able to compensate for warped discs by moving the entire optical block, which took more time and limited the amount of correction possible. This newer system simplifies the process by moving just the lens (instead of the entire optical block) for faster and more accurate error correction. As soon as you hook up the DVD player, a special Quick Setup screen appears ready to guide you through configuration, step by step, screen by screen. DVD resume memory kicks in whenever you stop a DVD. Later, when you come back to it, the player will pick up right where you left off before. The player holds resume points for up to six discs. Other playback features include 10-second instant replay, DVD/CD Text display (with applicable discs), custom parental control memory for 40 discs, instant search (which provides audible scanning akin to cue and review features on cassette decks), as well as Advanced SmoothScan and SmoothSlow Modes. What's in the Box DVD player, remote control, 2 AA batteries, a stereo analog audio/composite-video interconnect, a user's manual, and warranty information.

Comment: one small issue Rating:
I just got this DVD player a couple days ago after my older Sony DVD player died. So far the only issue I have is that this DVD player treats the discrete code for "turn on" as a power toggle, which interferes with my universal remote macros. Otherwise things are working great and the price was right.
Comment: Easy to use, but poor picture Rating:
I bought a Sony DVP-NS575P today to replace my old Sony DVD player. It is an entry-level progressive scan DVD player and I would otherwise recommend it as a nice, easy-to-use unit except for the quality of the picture. Perhaps I just got a bad one, but the picture simply doesn't have enough contrast. Everything looks dim no matter how I adjust my television. The picture also shows lots of digital artifacts (flickering, etc.) that I find annoying. The old player and the current VCR don't have these problems, so I know it isn't my TV. Needless to say, I cannot recommend this DVD player and I will be returning mine.
Comment: Sony DVD Player Perfection Rating:
I had been fed up with DVD player incompatibility with
recordable DVD media. Most DVD players either fail to read recordable media completely or stutter, freeze and skip.
I tried some really problematic disks on this unit in my local
Sony store and it amazed me. It handled everything flawlessly.
Of course I purchased the player immediately.
This thing played everything I threw at it effortlessly.
I have to congratulate the engineers at Sony who designed
this DVD player. It is exactly what I have been waiting for.Simply awesome.
Thank you Sony for a remarkable product.
