Sony DVP-NS775V DVD/CD/SACD Player
i’ve had this player for a few weeks now. i bought it to replace my older Sony 725 DVD player. i noticed 2 things right away. it takes awhile to read the discs after tray closes. with my 725 player, you can press play as tray was closing and disc would read & play in an instant. i also notice that the picture is slightly darker than my 725. i suggest going into an electronics store and test out the player before buying. for the price though, it’s still a good player.

Very attractive looking DVD player that has great picture quality and sound, but it freezes randomly in almost every film. I know one other person that bought this same exact DVD player and it does the same thing. I thought it might be the movie that I was using so I threw it into my cheap GoVideo DVD player and it played without a hitch. This is the SECOND Sony DVD player that has failed me and the last.

I puchased this unit (a B-stock unit) recently on Amazon. The unit broke (ie, could not read any DVD or CD) after being played for only 4 times, and unfortunately this occurred after the 14-day of return/exchange deadline. Even though the transaction was smooth, the item is useless at this point unless Sony will be willing to help out.
This is a very good unit when it works properly (I already have one), especially for its DVD and SACD playback, so I thought to stock one up a B-stock unit for cheap (its been discontinued a while ago).
So the bottom line is that it is really not worthwhile by going cheap like this, especially seeing numerous reported issues on Sony’s units.

I had a Walmart Panasonic player which I liked in every respect except on dark movies like Master & Commander it did a very poor job of cleanly reproducing the picture at the higher brightness and picture levels needed to lighten the picture on my 36″ Sony XBR 400. It had great variable aspect controls which I appreciated when dealing with widescreen DVDs on my 4 x 3 screen. Took it back and bought the Sony DVP-NS775.
This player does a great job of producing a nice, clean picure at all the TV’s brightness levels. In progressive scan it is simply beautiful. Perhaps that is because it has a 108MZ 12bit DAC processor as opposed to the 54MZ 10 bit found in the panasonic and most other players.
My only complaint about the 775 is it has a lousy aspect control feature. The only adjustment I can make is to set the TV at 16 by 9 and watch a picture decidedly squeezed and elongated at that ratio. Otherwise I use as little as half the screen. I am keeping this DVD player because of its ability to produce such a great picture.
Can’t comment on the CD, SAC, etc. player abilities.
If you have a 16 by 9 set, I don’t believe you will beat the picture quality you get for this price. If you have a 4 by 3 TV, you might want to do some research and consider other players. None seem to have the flexible aspect ratio controls the Panasonic has.

Like two other reviewers, I’ve run into the freeze issue. I believe it occurs at the layer transition, but am not completely sure. The problem is replicable and does not happen with the same disc on any of my other players, even the Sony NS575P (one lvl down from this…but no optical).
So, its time to return this nightmare….please learn from our mistakes.
