Sony DVP NS57P/B Progressive Scan DVD Player, Black Sony DVP-NS57P/B Progressive Scan DVD Player, Black The DVP-NS57P/B DVD player features Precision Cinema Progressive technology, providing sharper images for a better viewing experience. Unlike other DVD players that detect image changes at the Scan line level-Sony’s Precision Cinema Progressive (PCP) system detects them at the Pixel level. This results in images closer to the original source data, because separate, optimized algorithms are used to handle the differing Pixel behavior. Separate algorithms are also used to process the moving and still parts of an image, resulting in sharp backgrounds with moving objects that are free from motion artifacts. Sony’s Precision Drive III mechanism is also included, which helps maximize the performance of DVD collections by reading data even on some physically “warped” discs. Other benefits include fast/slow playback with sound, and custom parental control.
Customer Review: good dvd player
I got this one after our old one bit the dust !(I never liked it). I did a lot of research for specific functions, this one fits the bill the most. Easy buttons, fast forward without the chance of advancing the screen, more than one fast forward speed, subtitle button, my son can operate it without help from me. So far, this is one of the dvd players I ever owned.

I owned the OPPO CV 970H before this one, and got this one mainly for the USB2.0 compatibility and the hope it would play movies and shows from my Harddisks.

Works fine and well worth the price. Just wish it were a bit smaller in length. It’s slim yet longer than most standard DVD players

Outstanding performance for the price. Has the features you need at a price that is affordable. If you are not ready to invest in a blu-ray player and the higher priced discs then this is one to take a look at.
