 Great buy, great quality - happy customer! August 9, 2007

I previously bought the Samsung DVD-1080P7 upconverting DVD player but returned it due to a few issues with quality/user control over various functions (you can see my full review under the Amazon page for that player). I bought this one basically because I trust the Sony brand and it was their new release of a 1080p upconverting DVD player.
I am very happy with this player. Setup was quick and easy. The menu is much more detailed with greater user control over the DVD functions than the equivalent Samsung model that I returned.
Once configured (which took about a minute and a half - not very long at all!), the picture and sound output were excellent! No complaints on the output quality whatsoever.
Similar with other Sony DVD players I have had, initial loading of DVDs in the player takes a bit longer than the average player. This is a small sacrifice I am willing to accept for the higher quality in other areas, especially when compared to the Samsung that I had previously purchased.
I would definitely recommend this DVD player!
Wonderful DVD player and a must for HDTV October 2, 2007

I recommend purchasing the Sony DVP-NS77H for anyone that has a HDTV for the following reasons:
1) Most HDTVs have additional features when fed 1080i or 1080p signals...and the Sony does both (be aware that some upscaling dvd players will only send 1080i signals...when the 1080p signals are superior. HDTV features include the picture format (ie 'justscan' sizing with Samsungs)
2) Picture quality looks better with a good upscaling dvd player and the Sony does a fine job.
3) Even if the picture quality doesn't improve from upscaling...most HDTV sets have HDMI inputs...which will allow for digital signals to be received from dvd players. The advantage is that digital will not have any corruption from interference. You get the true signals.
4) The Sony has both coaxial and optical audio outputs. Clearer signals to your home theatre sound system.
5) The Sony probably will be better able to play all disks. Some other brands from past experience is where it may not be able to read warped or scratched disks...like the ones you will get from NetFlixs or Blockbuster Online. A must if you rent dvds through the mail.
6) The Sony name...trustworthy. Overall...there aren't too many makers. I would perhaps consider a Panasonic...but there are just so many other names that I wouldn't go for.
I highly recommend the Sony dvd player. It works well with my Samsung HLT6187 and I am sure it will work well with any system.
Solid upconverting player August 1, 2007

Bought this a few days ago. Attractive black appearance with decent build quality. Relatively slow loading of DVDs. User friendly menu system with good control over video and audio functions. Optical digital audio out not found on many players in this price range. Remote is acceptable but not lighted. Blue HDMI light on front panel may bother some. Gets a bit warm after extended use; not recommended for use inside a cabinet. Not Divx compatible. Upconversion of DVDs through HDMI port can be very good depending on the source quality (newer DVDs are better). A good, reasonably priced interim solution until the HD format wars are over. Can make your existing library look better depending on the upconversion capabilities of your HDTV.
 HDMI, component vdeo, dolby digital 5.1 and dts (5.1) October 10, 2007
33 out of 33 found this review helpful
This product upgrades DVDs as well as any other 'better' dvd upconverter. A previous review told users that "its not worth the price because the hdmi worked just as well as component". HDMI vs component video usually do not make that much of a difference, and for almost everyobody out there, you will NOT notice a difference. You are paying 100 for this vs 70 bucks because of the additioanl features. This DVD player has sony's Prescission Cinema Progressive output technology which makes the image a little better. It also has 1080p where as alot of players only have 1080i. It can play a few different formats and HD Jpeg slideshows. Most importantly, it can output a DOLBY DIGITAL 5.1 audio output and DOLBY DTS through HDMI and/or Optical digital. VERY FEW PLAYERS AT THIS PRICE LEVEL CAN DO THAT. Most say 'dolby digital' but only output a 2.1 signal. If you have a 5.1 reciever and a different dvd player with only the 2.1, the audio will not be converted to 5.1 digital and instead it will be converted using the prologic II. This means the sounds will not be sent to the correct speakers. Other players 'blend' the sounds through most the speakers and its noticiably much worse. THIS PLAYER IS ONE OF THE ONLY AT THIS PRICE RANGE WITH DOLBY 5.1!!! Audio is Crystal Clear Definitly a good buy.
Great DVD Player!! December 5, 2007

Lately I've been doing nothing but buying and returning DVD players. I first bought a Philips DVD player and it kept breaking down, so I had to return it. Next, I bought a JVC DVD player, which I thought was a good brand. Well, it wasn't. I had that DVD player for only a few days and have experienced numerous problems. So, that had to be returned. Finally, I bought this Sony DVP-NS77H. Now, this player has made me very happy. Over a week and no problems have been experienced and I've played A LOT of DVDs on it.
There are few pros and cons I would like to point out:
PROS:
-Beautiful picture and sound.
-You can adjust the picture anyway you like, from dark to light.
-Has a 6 disc memory
-Doesn't break down like many other players do
-Can read badly scratched discs
-Fast forwards really fast
CONS:
-Loading time can be slow at times.
-No buffer, so when there is a layer change in a movie, you will see a short pause. Most players today have them to prevent the pause, but unfortunately, this players doesn't have it.
-Not DivX compatible.
Notice, that even though there are a few cons about the player, I still rated it 5 stars because this player actually works and doesn't break down. I can't tell you how hard it is to find a player that works.
