Sony DVP-NC80V/B SACD DVD Changer, Black Reviews
Pros: Picture is great with good material and ok with poor material. The multi-disk "resume" memory is great (I used to actually sometimes write down disk-times on scraps of paper pathetic)., and the slo-mo with sound feature is surprisingly cool. Also: No dvd player that refuses user stop or fast-forward commands because of that stupid no-skip disk code will ever deserve 5 stars. And load is slow.
You'd think they wouldn't want to encourage that. Recommendation: Re-rip your disks and jettison all extraneous junk. Cons: Does not answer commands, most especially 'stop,' during load. In particular, the annoying color quantization contours that I used to see with my old changer are mostly gone. This is absolutely exasperating if you're running late in the morning (as usual) and trying to eject a Netflix disk to get it in the mail without leaving the stupid thing on 'play' all day.
I ordered this new DVD player from Amazon and had it in less then a week. From first glance, the unit seemed of very sturdy construction and was surprisingly light for its size and features. The Sony DVPNC80V was purchased to replace my aging DVD/receiver unit that was beginning to fuss. I have not found one movie that has been backed up that will not play.
Setup was very straight forward and easy to comprehend. I would reccommend this unit to anyone. Once completely setup, I popped in a DVD and although it took a couple seconds longer then other DVD players, playback was immediate and flawless. All in all, this is an excellent unit for its price, especially being able to utilize 5 discs in the carousel and MP3 playback.
So now I can control both with one remote, much to my wife's delight. The unit can also be controlled by my SONY STR-DE598 remote with NO programming right out of the box.
maybe changers are all like that. im the type of person whos not gonna buy a brand new item if i can get it used for half the price n it works just as well with only a few unnoticeable blemishes on the appearance.
i was surprised when i first saw it. but thats not really a big negative. its twice as thick as our old sony single disc n longer too, bigger than our cable box.
w/ s-video), lots of features as u all know, and also. this sony player has great audio / video quality (esp. HUGE.
love this player = )
The unit's available in black or silver. As other people have said, "Loading" is fairly slow, so a top-top menu should have been included. Of course, I think the ability to remember lots of disks is one of the unit's best features. One small omission: the unit can't list the disks that are in it, so unless you remember what they are and where, you have to try each one to see its contents. The disk will play for a couple of days before having to repeat. The excellent sound and picture quality are not surprising, but that's because I also have the single-disk version of this player and knew what to expect.
I chose this for two of its features: the 5-disk changer that lets us watch different disks without having to get up to swap them in/out; and its ability to resume playing a movie after being turned off or using other disks. The unit plays them well, actually enhancing the sound beyond what I'd expect from MP3. Regarding the annoyingly bright blue and white lights: you can place black electrical tape over most of their surfaces, until you can see a sliver of the lights without being blinded by them. It'll be nice if this DVD changer lasts that long. The "resume" feature can be turned off in the menus, for people who don't want an "old" disk to restart in the middle. We still have a Sony 5-disk CD changer from the 1980's. A nice bonus. Since it's rather large, black turned out to be better for us, because it's almost invisible when tucked into a rack of equipment.
It still works (after almost 20 years), looks a lot like this DVD changer, but cost more than twice as much. Otherwise, the A/V quality would have been a pleasant surprise. Out of curiosity, I burned 100 MP3 albums to a DVD, using about 3.5GB of space. Also, they may turn off once a disk begins to play, depending on the disk's content. It does both of these very, very well.
Also it does not play every type of DVD disc out there like I thought it would. One feature this DVD player has that I personally wish it didn't is the disc recall memory.
There are a lot of handy features on the remote that I like too. Unit is quite large - I had to take the back of my stereo cabnet off to make it fit. You have to go to the DVDs main menu chapter selection option to get around it.
If you watch a DVD less than all the way through (like stopping it during the end credits) and even if you take the DVD out of the player and put it in again several weeks or months later it begins to play right where you left off the last time you played it. Very user friendly DVD player. Very nice picture and sound quality.
