Customer Ratings & Reviews

Our Toshiba DVD player for our 2nd TV in the basement broke after 10 years. I wanted an inexpensive replacement. I was going to go with the super-cheap Insignia, but the helpful Best Buy rep explained to me that this Sony includes an HDMI connection and has the HD upconversion functionality. Since it is an HD TV I thought this made sense. After a few weeks' of use, I have some feedback. Overall, the DVD player has been working well. Very easy setup for the machine itself, just plug and play. It is surprising how small it is, about half the size of my old machine. My quibbles are as follows: 1) The remote it comes with is too small and hard to press the buttons. Instead, I programmed my TV remote to turn it on/off. 2) The DVD player does not respond to a remote very well. At first I thought it was the too-small remote, but my TV remote has the same issue. My guess is because the DVD player itself is too small, there is less "surface" area for it to respond to the remote? 3) Programming my TV remote to the DVD player was annoying. For some reason, the instructions did not include the standard Sony codes for universal remotes. I found several online but these didn't seem to work either. I finally used the "manual" process via the remote itself to discover the signal and connect it. What should have taken 2 minutes, took 20. Like I said, some minor quibbles, so overall I recommend this DVD player. While I'm probably putting too much stock in the quality of the "Sony" name, I hope I can get several years of use out of it.

If you're looking for a low-priced, great quality, easy-to-install, and simple-to-operate upconverting DVD player, this is the one for you. It took about 5 minutes to unpack, hook up to our TV, and figure out how to operate the remote. And the picture is almost Blu-ray quality too. I recommend it without hesitation to anyone who does not want to buy a more expensive Blu-ray player.

Primary use is for playing music cds and dvds. Great little unit, and received it within 3 days. It performs nicely and a great price too !

Purchased this DVD player because many modern TV's don't support analog video plugins, but I'm too stubborn to part with my digital collection just yet. If you are like me and need a simple machine to play those DVD's are a modern HD or 4K TV, this is a must. The setup could not be simpler. Took the machine out of the package, hooked up the power cable, and then plugged in my spare HDMI cable. Unfortunately the package only comes with old-school RCA cables, so you WILL need your own HDMI to take advantage of the upscaling. That being, said, there were zero issues. I powered up the DVD player once all cords were connected, set my TV to the appropriate output source, and the screen popped right up. No tedious setup, no complex installation requirements. Upscaling makes DVD imagery look surprisingly well on a 4K TV. It obviously won't look as crisp as 4K resolution, but the 1080p upscaling looks very good on my 55' 4K TV. Looks much better than the old 480p image I had on my previous TV. System had no problem reading discs and worked as quick as one can expect a DVD player to work. Remote layout is simple so there's no confusion there. For the price, this is definitely a quality product. You'll need your own HDMI cable, but the upscaling feature will keep your DVD collection viable on modern TV's as well as make the image look a little more crisp. If you still have RCA connections and just need a DVD player, you can find cheaper but it's still a solid pick.

I love this DVD player! Great quality beautiful picture with movies. And I love listening to my CDs as well. No problems at all it's a great value for the money.

Works great, easy to operate and a great price Best buy is fantastic.

Good quality and price. The pickup was easy and quick.

I love the fact that this DVD player is small, compact and is easy to use.

I love my new Sony DVD/CD Player. It was delivered promptly and was securely packaged. It was easy to install and plays perfectly. I highly recommend this item.

I was looking for a DVD player with HDMI for better picture and something not too expensive and this one seemed to fit the requirements! I have used it a few times and have had no problems, even it being open-box. It is small enough too that it fits in my storage cube organizer that my TV sits on top of. I would recommend!

Very reasonably priced DVD player, with additional in store coupon. Easy setup, working within 7 minutes. HDMI Cable not included, but no hassle to get one. Great for watching those old movie DVDs and photo CDs you just can’t give up. Watched Miracle first, 1980 Hockey Olympic Gold Medal movie, very nostalgic. Glad I can watch the oldies just by popping in the disc. Very Happy with purchase.

I was looking for a replacement DVD-HD that was easy to use and had good reviews: all at a good price for my elderly mother. I am very pleased! New electronic equipment can be quite confusing to her, but she is able to use this new DVD successfully. The only thing that might be a problem for others--I knew to purchase an HDMI cable. Nowhere is this mentioned, so imagine the disappointment if you don't have this last piece of equipment when you go to set up!

I need something simple since I am now widowed. but not to too small that is hard to handle. i also wanted something compact. i am down-sizing and compact is what i was looking for. very affordable. easy to use and not cheaply made. would buy and recommend. the remote is easy to see and use

This DVD player works great, and even the optics and sound on my older DVDs are enhanced. And at a great price!

Easy to install, reasonable price and came with both the HDMI chord and video/audio chords if you want them. Clear picture. Also came with a remote. Works with our Roku TV.

The DVD is the perfect size for a small space. Setup was easy.

First great service ...secondly love it easy to set up and easy to use ... beautiful picture...compact not bulky

I am so impressed by this DVD player! It works great, it's easy to set up, works great and the price is awesome! Shipping was super fast too! I love Best Buy! I can always depend on a great price and fast shipping! I've never had to return any thing I have ever purchased from Best Buy.

I purchased this DVD player and have not any issues. Pleased with ease of set up and quality of picture. I have found Sony products to be the best.

This is as easy as it gets. Just plug in the cable and power cord, and turn it on. Set up appears and is just a couple steps. Couldn't get it to work with my cable remote (with the cable company's assistance), but it's no problem to just use the DVD remote instead, as you can easily change the source from the remote. I have fledgling TV set up skills, so if I can do it, anyone can. Has worked with all DVDs we've tried, including ones we burned. Liked it so much, bought another for the kitchen TV. I compared to the LG, but this had better reviews for set up and compatibility.
