Sights and Sounds

This PSYC DVD player may be small in size, but it's big on performance. It would be impressive enough if it just played DVD movies, but it seems that it will play just about any disc you throw at it. So enjoy your favorite movie on DVD, then listen to your favorite CDs. The PSYC plays CD-R/CD-RWs, and is MP3 compatible, so you can enjoy the compilations that you've burned to disc after downloading files onto your computer. This DVD player can also play DVD-R/DVD+RW and DVD-RWs (Video Mode) so you're ready for this next generation of emerging technology. Whatever it is that floats your boat, be it music or movies, you can enjoy it using this dynamic little machine.

The Perfect Solution For Imperfect Discs

Sony DVD players have a solid reputation for their ability to track discs that are warped, dusty or otherwise less than perfect. Now, with the Precision Drive 2 system, they're better than ever. The system uses dynamic tilt compensation to give you the best performance from every disc you play. This improved mechanism is simpler, faster and able to correct for an even wider range of disc imperfections.

Virtual Surround

Even if you don't have surround speakers, TV Virtual Surround modes can generate a convincing surround sound effect. All modes are optimized for use with your television's built-in speakers. Choose the mode that matches your program material and situation. " Standard" mode delivers a wider " sweet spot" than earlier designs. You can sit in more locations and still hear the surround sound effect. " Wide" mode simulates the sound of multiple surround speakers, further apart, for a wider sound image. "Dynamic" is ideal for action movies, bumping up the volume of center-channel dialog for increased clarity. Finally, " night" mode turns down the dynamic volume peaks of action scenes, making it ideal for times when you need to "keep it down".

Good DVD player, Good Price

Reviewed By: Jim Quint - Winthrop Harbor, IL

This is a great little DVD player. Small, light and portable. I have burned some of my home movies using a home dvd burner. This players plays em! All the formats. DVD-R, DVD-RW, VCD (they don't advertise that it plays VCDs but it does!) and of course MP3s. Best thing though, it is small, light and easy to move from one TV set to another. I give it a high rating. I am planning on buying another for my daughters dorm room.

Great value

This little DVD player is excellent value. I will be using it for workshops and love its compact size, light weight and robustness. And NOBODY sells it for less. A GREAT deal.

Great little Sony

This little machine should not be underestimated. It can play with the big boys and then some. The quality is excellent and it looks totally cute with matching remote! When it comes to electronics I'm a plug and play gal and this was exactly what I needed. Good one Sony!!

Awesome!
