My experiences with the Sony DVP-NS725P Standard DVD

by2buzy Oct 28, 2003
88 Helpfuls 89 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 3 Comments
Pros Easy to set up and use.
Cons Another remote to keep track of.
Recommended it? Yes


Okay, I was a bit worried about writing reviews on any of our DVD players since I am not really sure what all the bells and whistles are, let alone how they work! To tell you the truth, my children can (and do) use all the different features our DVD players offer, while I am content to be able... Read full review »

Great DVD Player with a Fatal Flaw

bynad_masters Nov 11, 2003
28 Helpfuls 29 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 6 Comments
Pros Fully featured for a budget DVD player, Sony quality, nice quasi-universal remote
Cons Black levels are too high (and keeps resetting), remote buttons not too convienent
Recommended it? No

Sony has set the standard for many consumer audio/visual electronics. Then it was the same for DVDs. At $129, I picked up the NS725P for it's progressive scan capability, and the ability to play DVD+ and - R/Ws. MP3 playback was a nice touch, but seemed like an afterthought, but more on that a bit... Read full review »

Sony DVP-NS725P - It's A Sony... So What Can You Expect?

bysoupcraze Dec 20, 2003
18 Helpfuls 19 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 1 Comment
Pros Everything
Cons None
Recommended it? Yes

The Sony DVP-NS725P is one of the more expensive DVD players that I've been trying out. I saw this baby for $130 at Best Buy, and it caught my eye with the sexy silver finish, the features, and of course... and most obviously, the incredible Sony quality that I expect from every Sony product I use...

Unacceptable!

Pros sleek look, nice sound, intuitive interface
Cons poor picture and player performance, not enough functionality options
Recommended it? No

Stay away from this horrible offering from Sony. I purchased this based on the performance of my older sony dvd player (which is still working like a charm),but their quality has come way down. I once belonged to the cult of followers that outfitted their entire home theater components with Sony,... Read full review »

More proof: Sony is the best deal in town

Pros Coax & optical digital outs; Plays DVD-R, DVD_R/RW, CD-R/RW; Quick loading; Quick layer...
Cons Silver color (I like black); power cord is not removable
Recommended it? Yes

I bought this to replace an older Sony player that I had. Only reason for replacing that one was to get one that could handle my CD-R discs. Well, I couldn't be happier with this gem of a DVD player. First of all, I got it as an open box at Circuit City for only $99. Other available brands were a... Read full review »

Sony DVP-NS725P is a good DVD Player!

byeastcoasthandl Dec 14, 2003
11 Helpfuls 12 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros picture quality, ease of use, reliability
Cons high grade cables required, does not compare to DVI DVD
Recommended it? Yes

The picture quality of Sony DVPNS725P is better then SONY DVP-NS425P in 480i & 480p mode. No distortion or blurring is found even w/o the progressive scan, just a little gritty. Once you turn on progression scan the picture clears up. Sony DVPNS725P has only a 10% difference in... Read full review »

Would be great except for POOR progressive mode

Pros Plays just about everything; great array of features
Cons Progressive scan mode is flat busted
Recommended it? No

Sony almost had a GREAT product that I could recommend wholeheartedly. Almost.

As it is, I find myself extremely disappointed with its progressive-scan mode -- that function which is supposed to get rid of the interlaced jitter of the NTSC signal and deliver a full-frame picture to your... Read full review »

This DVD player rocks! CNET review is bogus.

Pros Outstanding progressive video quality. Fast disc spin-up and access. Small size. Great...
Cons Lack of zoom. Remote is a little confusing.
Recommended it? Yes

After reading CNET's review about this DVD player, I am convinced that either they are unfairly biased, have a defective model, or simply have no idea what they're talking about most of the time. They note that this DVD player is good except the progressive video playback is poor and to consider... Read full review »

My DVPNS725P just bit the dust

Pros Flexible in playing DVDs that another player would not.
Cons Unit appears to be failing.
Recommended it? No

I've had this DVD player maybe... 1.5 years tops? It worked great - read DVDs that others wouldn't - until it didn't. It started freezing partway through while playing a DVD. Some of these DVDs are pretty dirty but ... this is happening often now, and this is a DVD player, not a VCR. I think it is... Read full review »
