Customer Reviews

No Complaints
Bought this to replace a Toshiba player that was nothing but trouble.
Good picture, easy setup, and unlike the Toshiba it plays everything I've tried in it. It takes a good 30 sec to a minute to lock on a disk. But once it does, it plays flawlessly. Even with some rentals that are in less than pristine condition.

Nice DVD Player - Happy
We received this DVD player last week and hooked it up to a new Samsung 550 tv. I am not picky. I put the dvd in and it plays...that makes me fairly happy with the purchase. This player saves your spot after you take out the movie. That may come in handy when my little one has 6 movies that she is watching at once.

The sound is very nice for movies and dvd's. I like that it can hook up to my 1980's Sony stereo system.

The only negative and it is small - The power and open/close button are designed to be hidden so the player looks sleek. They are kind of hard to push.

A step backwards
You might think (based on the model numbering) that when Sony replaced the DVP-NS700H with the DVP-NS710H, it maintained or improved the key features. Unfortunately, Sony has REMOVED the optical digital audio output that was present in the NS700H. This significantly limits how this player can be used. For example, my surround sound receiver (also made by Sony!) has ONLY an optical digital audio input.

BTW, as of this writing this product is being sold in stores and online but Sony still has not posted its support documentation on their eSupport website.

Make sure whatever you intend to use for Dolby Digital/DTS decoding has a compatible available input (HDMI or coax digital audio). Otherwise, look elsewhere. I say this as someone who has been nearly all-Sony for CE products, but this company is driving me away lately.
