Good solid DVD player

Big, needed a custom built cabinet

This post is mainly for Mr. Ziering who gave this such a bad review. First of all, it doesn't say it will play CD-R, and second, why must you put such a bad review on a product just because is doesn't do what YOU think it should do. In none of the literature, does it mention that it will play CD-R or CD-RW. Not only that, you make the same "bad" review for the 670D and the 550D. Was this an attempt to bring down the overall high review of this player. Or did you purchase all three of these DVD players at the same time and daisy-chain them to your TV?

I have a 650D and love it. It plays wonderful, I have it hooked "digitally" to my V444ES which make my JBL S312's come alive. The picture is wonderful and I would highly recommend this DVD player to anyone looking for a really good piece of equipment. I have been able to play every DVD I own and rented and had no problems with any of them. I know there are more expensive players on the market, with maybe more features, but you have to have $$$$ to get them. This has DD and DTS, and for a great price, I can load up 5 movies and sit back and enjoy a fun filled "home theater" night. It was very easy to set up and the big remote has plenty of buttons to find and do whatever to any of the disk loaded.

If you look closely at the reviews, you will see that some people have been very forturnate to play CD-R through the Sony DVD players. I'm sure this has to do with the software the CD's were made with. Myself, I have some that play on it, and some that don't, but then again.... I have a CD player for that.

This player gives you clean video and audio with all the bells and whistles.

None I have found.

For what I paid for this unit I cannot say a negative thing about it. For the morons who can't read (the manual tells you it won't play CDRs) too bad - better you attend local community college refresher courses in reading! The audio section is clean and dynamic. The video is stunning and rivals (if not beats) my Toshibas. It is a complete package. As to 24bit/96kHz playback, it is my understanding that all surround recordings are based on this format - as to strickly audio discs I am not sure how it handles these. I personally have this capabilty in my home recording studio through a Ramsa DA7 digital mixer which records in 5.1 surround so as soon as I add the 24/96 interface I'll let you know. Now here's a surprise: if you record on CD-RWs you CAN play them back on this unit (as well as many other Sony units!) So spend a couple of more cents on your media and quit crying like babies!
