Sony DVPSR170 DVD Player (New for 2013)

The last time I bought a DVD player it was about 3 times the size and weight of this piece of kit. This is much more suitable for the space I have and is great quality. Arrived today, took me about 30 seconds to set it up, and it works perfectly. For under 25 quid this is a great deal, assuming you are like me and still buy and use DVDs, I guess DVD players will be obsolete in the near future, but until then this works for me.

The Best Little dvd player i have ever purchased.I admit i was a little Dubious when buying this dvd player.But i needed something small and cheap to put in the boys room for playing their assorted dvds.So i took the chance.It has not stopped playing since.Startup is quick,about 5-10 seconds.Picture resolution is really Excellent.Sound is also excellent.The last dvd player sent a poor sound quality through the tv.Im using the same scart leads,Yet the quality all round is far Superior.Its compact,so very handy in small spaces.It also looks surprisingly well made and nicely designed.It has great replay,save the last dvd play times etc features.fast forward,reverse,etc,etc,Excellent value for money.Plus it's a sony.So hopefully it will take a lot of beating,hard work etc.(young boys room)nd i will get a few years from it.Excellent 5***********

Absolutely does the job. I just needed a small dvd player with a remote control to keep my daughter entertained while she's in her room as she likes to fall asleep to a movie etc. I wanted something with a small footprint that could do a very simple job - e.g. play region 2 dvd's. I wasn't expecting to buy a Sony machine for the money and I'm ultimately very impressed. The only thing that I would say is that it's quite noisy - especially when the loading tray is moving, e.g dvd loads/ejects. However, my daughter has quite a large room so individuals watching are not close enough to be disturbed by it. This is the main reason for 4 stars rather than 5 - but for others, this might be quite a big problem. But, I personally think that for the brand, the size, it being fit for purpose and of course, the price - this fits the bill more than adequately.

We currently cannot watch TV via the aerial in our new bedroom as we haven't got a lead long enough, so in the short term (and to make sure we can waste those wintery Saturday / Sunday mornings lying in bed), we wanted an affordable DVD player, that would arrive quickly. I signed up to Amazon Prime Free Trial so this arrived the next day. Small in size it is extremely simple to use. It is a basic DVD player that requires a SCART cable (not included) to set up. There is a slight whirring noise that can be heard when a DVD is playing, but we just upped the volume when watching the film to overcome this. This is not a fancy DVD player by any means, but it does exactly what we wanted it to for £25, so no complaints here.

I stream a lot but still need a DVD player to play the old DVD's and some CD's I have that I'd never throw away. This is so cheap and it's a Sony which is unusual because I'm used to paying a bit more for Sony. I was delighted with this, I literally just need a good quality cheap DVD player I can rely on next to the TV. This does the job and the remote is clear and easy to use. I'm happy I got this and have recommended it to others who need a dependable DVD player, 5 stars

Product is very basic and feels quite cheap. It almost felt like it would break in my hands as I took it out of the packaging. I bought an unknown brand DVD player 10years ago for slightly cheaper that seemed to do the same job. However, as it's Sony's most basic DVD player it's not a huge surprise but I would have expected a bit more feeling of quality. That said, it was great value and does exactly what I needed it to do - play normal dvds in a spare room with no need for high quality play back.

Good playback, no issues. I haven't tried playback of other file formats (DivX, mp4 etc) so I shouldn't comment on them, but it is a nice, compact unit that looks more expensive than it is. It's small and has a footprint of about 27cm x 20cm. Robust remote and has been reliable as a bedroom DVD player. Note that this is only region 2, doesn't play mkv, doesn't have a USB port and doesn't come with a scart lead. But it is very cheap and I have no regrets about buying it.

Great little DVD player, I ordered this after two bottles of wine when I was trying to watch a DVD with a friend and realised my toddler had done something to my original player that stops DVD's playing at around 45 minutes. I was trying to watch The Greatest Showman! I must be good at choosing things whilst half cut (my husband is still around after all) as this player works really well and was a bargain :)

Kleiner, feiner Player ohne Schnickschnack. Einfach einstecken und los geht es! Das Gerät ist leise und unkompliziert für Leute die einfach nur DVDs anschauenwollen. Ich habe es jetzt schon eine Zeit lang und es noch keine Probleme aufgetreten.

Fazit: Leichter, verlässlicher und leicht zu bedienender DVD-Player Der “Sony DVD Player DVPSR170B.EC1” ist ein “Basisgerät”, für alle Nutzer, den es reicht, DVDs ab zu spielen, oder über den Fernseher ins Internet zu gehen. Der Player verfügt über einen „Scardsteckplatz“ für eine direkte Verbindung zwischen Fernseher und Player (man kann aber auch über ein „normales“ Antennenkabel eine Verbindung aufbauen). Die Bedienung am Gerät oder mit der (mitgelieferten) Fernbedienung ist einfach und bequem. Die DVD-Wiedergabe ist sehr gut und der Player arbeitet sehr geräuscharm! Ein dicker Wehrmutstropfen ergab sich, als ich beim Auspacken feststellen musste, das das Netzkabel einen 3 poligen Stecker aufwies (englische Variante) und ich somit gezwungen wurde einen Adapterstecker zu kaufen! Nach einer kurzen Verhandlung mit Amazon, erhielt ich aber eine Preiserstattung, die den Adapterkauf voll und ganz aufhob!
