Pretty good overall March 22, 2003

I was looking for a decent DVD player to play my MP3's as well. It took me 3 players before I got to the this model. Too many players out there say 'MP3 compatible', but really don't handle all MP3's (skipping, loud popping, etc.). The Sony was the first one that handled ALL of my MP3's without a hitch. Like a previous reviewer already mentioned, it's pretty lame that Sony did not put in a Shuffle function for MP3 discs. They made it available for regular CD's, so what gives?pOh yeah, the DVD player itself works fine. There's a few settings that allow you to customize the sound in case you don't have a 5.1 receiver (like me). Picture and playback are no problem so far since I bought it back in December of '02.pFor you MP3 freaks (like me), here's some recommendations to help with playback and other stuff. These tools are FREE on the web. Use Google to look for them.pCDEx - want to make your own MP3's from your CD collection? This FREE ripper has no restrictions, lots of personalized settings and has one of the best encoders (LAME) for MP3. You'll get great sounding MP3's from this tool.pMP3Gain - Tired of loud, then quiet MP3's? This tool helps equalize the volume of selected tracks, saving you from volume knob twiddling.pMP3Trim - This helps with trimming excess space at the end of tracks as well as cleaning up garbage bits in the MP3. Ever had one that couldn't play or started part way in the song? This tool will fix those problems. Afer I got MP3Trim, ALL MP3's played in my boombox and Sony DVD player. Only limit on this software is that the MP3 song limit is 7 minutes.pMP3DirectCut - Allows you to split MP3's (especially those albums that are one long MP3), trim them and lots of other stuff.pOnce you have the above tools and figure them out, your MP3 exeperience will be smoother and much more enjoyable.

I've been looking and looking and looking for a replacement for my old Panasonic DVD player. This is it. Not only does it play the new formats. It has 2 count them 2 sets audio outputs. This has been my biggest complaint when trying to find a DVD player. I've had a bad experience with my RCA carousel DVD player that had more than one set of audio outputs. The manufacturers seem to think that if you don't want a carousel you don't want to hook your DVD player into your stereo as well as your TV. There are times when you want theatre sound and there are times when you want regular TV. If you feel the same this is the DVD player for you
 Excellent for DVDs but very disappointing for MP3s February 8, 2003

I bought this unit but returned it after two days. It was a very good unit for watching DVDs and if that's all you'll use it for then you'll be happy. But the unit bills itself as a MP3 player also. Well, it does, in fact, play MP3s but, only in alphabetical order of file name. No random order. Not even in the order the files are burned onto the CD. Imagine burning a CD with 8-10 hours of your favorite music and then having to listen to them only in alphabetical order, the same song by two different artists always played back-to-back. Sonys answer to this problem? Their manual suggests renaming all your files so they are alphabetically in the order you want them to play. Seems like a bad joke to me. In the past I've prefered to buy only Sony equipment. I have a Sony TV, DVD, VCR, receiver, speakers, and even digital cable box. But now I find myself having to get off the Sony train. I'll give it 5 stars for DVDs but only 1 star for MP3s so overall I'll give it a disappointing 3 stars.
Fantastic Entry Level DVD Player January 24, 2003

This player is one of the best DVD players out there for the price. Not only does it feature options that high end players have: such as progressive scan and multi-format playback, but at this price it's a STEAL!pThat being said, there is one thing that SONY should have added to this DVD player: the ability to read ID3 tags. Although the player allows you to navigate through an on-screen menu to the song you want, it only displays the title that you give your file on-screen. It does not display the info from the ID tags such as genre, track numbers and artist. However, the player does have the ability to scroll the file name of your song on its front display.pBy the way, for those of you who are having problems with playing CD-Rs with MP3 on them, be sure to burn the CD as an ISO 9660 format, level 1 or level 2 or joliet. So far all the media i've placed in the player worked flawlessly.pI've searched the internet and found that Amazon and [their partners] have the lowest price for this player.
