  Strengths: picture quality, simplicity, plenty of features

  Weaknesses:would prefer more fine-grained zoom controls

  Overall Evaluation: i was basically looking for a simple, low-cost DVD player that would give me a reasonable picture on my new Vizio 32" LCD TV (720p).originally, i'd been using my Xbox to watch DVDs and the picture was fairly dirty (using analog). when i got this player, i was thrilled with how great the picture was (using HDMI). it's so good that i'd say i can wait long enough for the Blu-ray vs HD-DVD to play itself out, or until PC TVs become a decent option.another great thing is this player also has coaxial out. this is useful to me since i have an older reciever that doesn't support HDMI. now i get to enjoy digital audio (DTS, Dolby) without having to buy a new receiver!the only thing i'd wish for this player is more fine-grained control over the picture zooming. in general this isn't really necessary, but for older DVDs with strange aspect ratios or with the subtitles burned onto the picture you may have to watch them with the vertical letterboxing. a small problem, but overall not very common.all in all, a perfect addition to my system. it was very affordable and easy to use. also, it didn't require me to buy a whole slew of new equipment to use it--only an HDMI cable which i was able to pick up for a few bucks off of ebay!

  Strengths: HDMI Output with upconversion

  Weaknesses:Broke within a week

  Overall Evaluation: What the hell happened to Sony. 15 years ago I bought everything Sony and never had a problem now my last 3 things broke way too early (Digital Camera, DVD Video Cam, and now this DVD Player). The DVD Player worked fine for the first week and then suddenly the tray wouldn\\\'t open and the message said

  Strengths: 1080P, good price for sony player

  Weaknesses:Precision (but loud) drive

  Overall Evaluation: great 1080P up-scaling, but not yet as good as DCDi by Faroudja. good for its price (less than $100) Sony's proprietary precision drive is very loud, loud enough to think the drive is scratching the DVD surface. The slow motion is very good in this player, My old up-scaling DVD player can't do slow motion back & forth like this player do. Don't forget to grab a HDMI v1.3 cable and a bag of popcorn before playing DVDs on this player

  Strengths: Has both coaxial and optical audio outputs. One touch Play. Great upscaling ability.

  Weaknesses:Not Divx compatible.light weight seems cheaply made.

  Overall Evaluation: I needed a new dvd player and I came across the Sony DVP-NS77 player in the newspaper ad. Based on my past experience with Sony products I bought two players. One for the Living room and one for the bedroom. I have to say that I am very impressed with the output quality. It's real easy to set up and the remote works real well. It also allows you to do many things with my player from it. So in conclusion, I really have no major issues about this player. I look forward to many years of use. Thanks Sony!

  Duration of ownership: 1 Weeks

  Strengths: Sleek profile, 1080p upscaling, HDMI output, reads discs well.

  Weaknesses:No SACD.

  Overall Evaluation: This is a nice temporary purchase to service your new 1080p compatible HD TV until the Blu-Ray/HD-DVD wars are over. Makes your ordinary DVDs look VERY nice on a screen that can make the most of what 1080p upscaling offers. And yes, you can get it for at least $90. No, it's not the dream DVD player (but honestly the lack of SACD support is the only thing I genuinely miss), but a great value nonetheless.
