SonyDVPSR210P DVD Player

Nice DVD player - great price

Replaced an 18-year-old Panasonic DVD player that had expired with the Sony. Very straight forward set-up and operation, lots of features. We use it primarily for watching movies, one feature we like is if you stop the playback, eject the disk and turn off the unit, the next time you start to play the disk it goes right to where you previously stopped and resumes playing. Remote control is very intuitive, the Sony player performs very well would highly recommend it, great price as well.

My mother is, for the most part, housebound. She also loves British dramas and comedies and, at 87 years old, is easily confused by electronics. I purchased this DVD player for her so that my siblings and I could send her DVDs of her favorite shows. My choice of this DVD player was based on the online reviews of its quality, its simplicity to set up, and the simplicity of its controls. It worked out beautifully.The DVD player is of very good quality, especially given how little it costs. Its well constructed and operates very smoothly. It is quite small so it was easy to find a place for it in the hutch where Mom keeps her TV. My greatest concern was whether Mom would have trouble with the remote control (an historic problem for her with electronics). I am happy to report that Mom proclaimed this device "so much easier to control" than her TV and music system. Her review is equivalent to an Octogenarian "Best Buy" endorsement.

I bought this because my 1980's Sony CD component player finally gave up the ghost. This is now my new CD player, hooked straight into my receiver like the old one. Muddy Waters sounds as awesome as ever. Works great!

Exceptional picture, for the old RCA connectors. Using an old tube TV. arrived right away. box did not have a scratch or dent as it was not shipped FED EX. well built quality like the way things used to be made. easy set up. sound great with good volume. I would purchase again, but I expect this DVD player to last, unlike the plastic cheep model that I did not even watch 10 movies, as it quit working

Easy to hook up and works well. Just know it does not have an HDMI socket.

After my last DVD player died in a world where planned obsolescence seems to be the rule, it was time to buy a new one. I have always had good luck with Sony products in the past, so this seemed to be a no-brainer, right? After all, the TV is Sony - actually, everything I have electronic is Sony with the exception of my CD player - and it just seemed natural a new DVD player would have to be a Sony. I read all the reviews on this plus several other Sony products, but knowing that the planned obsolescence rule is always in effect (it's old the day after you get it and if you're lucky it will last a year or two before it dies, and since it's cheaper to buy a new one than get an old unit replaced, a cheap one seemed to be the best way to go)and I really wasn't expecting anything great. I didn't get it!I can usually set up anything in about 5 minutes - give or take a couple. Why did it take me 48 minutes to get this one set up? Because the instructions - such as they were - weren't written, all you get is a bunch of cute little pictures which made little or no sense. After swapping around input jacks all over the place (I actually had to take the ones from the old DVD player and use them since the wires on this were too short)I finally - maybe I should say FINALLY!!!! - got it hooked up to where it plays.Initially, the picture quality seems alright as does the audio - it will be interesting to see what happens when I actually sit down to watch a movie, so I can't complain about that. At this point, all I really have to complain about is the fact it took forever to hook it up and the fact the on-screen menu doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Good luck with that if you buy one of these.Why do I give it a 3 star rating? I have an idea if I sneeze loudly in the same room, the vibration will knock it off onto the floor - yeah, it's that lightweight. Very cheaply made and not exactly what a person who has used Sony products over the years has come to expect from a company that was an industry leader. For now, it will serve the purpose for which it was purchased - notably, showing DVDs, but I'm really not expecting it to last a long time and when this one bites the dust as it most assuredly will in a year or so (it's predecessor lasted 11 years), its replacement will be one which is larger and where the instructions are easy to follow so it can be set up in 5 minutes!Overall, this isn't Sony's finest moment - if you're looking for something functional that doesn't have a lot of gadgets and displays and will show movies once the tray opens and you can insert a disc (takes forever and it is noisy!)this will probably serve the purpose. If you're into different angles and being able to do all sorts of fun things - get one that's more expensive - I wish I had. Actually when this one dies, I'm getting a Blue Ray player which is probably what I should have gotten this time. And, it may not be a Sony.

Definitely worth the price, great quality, great sound quality, clear pictures, has Dolby play, and plays burned CD’s, definitely recommend. Good brand.
