Sony DVP-NC875V/S 5-Disc DVD/CD/SACD Changer, Silver Description:
Video and audio buffs rejoice: Sony’s 5 disc, DVP NC875V/S changer handles all your DVD, CD, and Super Audio CD SACD needs including playback of MP3 music and JPEG image CDs. The player gives you all the convenience of a carousel changer continuous playback, play exchange as well as progressive scan video outputs with Precision theater Progressive technology and cool improvements like Sony’s Precision Drive three system for playing damaged discs.

And if your living room is now home to an HDTV or you are just thinking of “someday,” the DVP NC875V/S stands prepared to deliver the full possible of your DVDs through Sony’s Precision theater Progressive de interlacer scanning with 3:2 pulldown processing. Progressive scanning, called 480p for the number of horizontal lines that compose the video image, creates a picture using twice the scan lines of a regular DVD picture, giving you higher resolution and sharper pictures while eliminating almost all motion artifacts. Precision theater Progressive technology uses a 12 bit video DAC digital to analog converter with high bandwidth, 108 MHz processing to detect image changes at the pixel level, rather than at the level of whole scan lines. That makes this player’s picture more faithful to the source whether film or video because it uses separate, optimized algorithms to manage different pixel behaviors. Separate algorithms are used to procedure the moving and still parts of a picture, ensuing in sharp backgrounds with moving objects that are free from motion artifacts. DVD mastering introduces a common distortion when adjusting 24 frames per second movies to 30 fps video, 3:2 reverse pulldown digitally corrects this distortion, removing the redundant info to display a film frame accurate picture. Composite and S video outputs bring compatibility with almost any TV. Based on the disc, SACD music releases supply super high fidelity multichannel or stereo sound. As an anti piracy measure, the DVP NC875V/S performs own decoding of SACD signals, passing high resolution analog, not digital, audio to your integrated amplifier or surround receiver.

Fitted SACD bass management helps you tailor the output level of the “.1″ LFE low frequency effects channel to your system, as an proper level may differ from the output level proper for Dolby Digital and DTS surround combinations. If you are not planning to use the SACD capability for multichannel programming, both Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1 channel surround sound signals may also be routed through the player’s digital audio outputs 1 each RCA coaxial and Toslink optical for simpler connection to a matched receiver multichannel analog and digital audio interconnects aren’t supplied. Precision Drive three gives a system for reading DVDs that are in less than perfect condition, eliminating errors in playback caused by imperfect, scratched, or warped discs.

5 Disc changer plays DVDs, CDs, plus great new SACDs,

This is a good DVD player. But it has an extra feature which makes it special: also to DVDs and regular CDs, it plays the new SACDs which are the finest sounding recordings now available.

When regular CDs became available they displaced LPs in the marketplace because of their small size and the fact that their sound didn’t degrade with the ticks and pops that the best maintained LPs sooner or later get. But, in spite of these benefits also as important enhancements in CD sound over time with technological advances like oversampling many connoisseurs maintained that CDs never achieved the warmth and high frequency sweetness feature of top grade audiophile LPs. Now that changed. Super Audio CDs are superior in sound to the finest audiophile quality LPs I have ever heard. Also, regular CDs played on a SACD player sound better than they do on common CD players. In fact, the best regular CDs in my collection equal audiophile quality LPs in sound when played on a SACD player and the new SACDs sound better. If you are going to purchase a DVD player, why not get one like which also plays not only regular CDs but the new terrific sounding SACDs particularly, when the price is so reasonable?

Excellent player correction of misinformation,

This is an excellent DVD player, the best of the five set tops I have owned so far.

Several of the reviewers present incorrect info about the player’s potential. 1st, it DOES support MP3 tags, my MP3 disks and I make many of them show the names of the tracks. One could wish for MORE of the text to be displayed, but if one enters the data properly, the track can information can be read. In any event, this is usually only an issue with classical tracks, where, e.G., one may have a track title like “Concerti for Two Mandolins, Strings, Orchestra, RV231, Allegro.” With rock, pop, jazz tracks this is not really an issue. The player, unlike ever other one I have owned, lets tracks to be scanned which are not being played.

Second, the player’s front panel display easily read from a distance of of eight to ten feet.

The picture quality is stunning with the new generation DVDs. The 1st seasons of HBO’s “Deadwood” looks totally stunning. Since I make legal archive copies of all my DVDs for clearly reasons! I can positively affirm that it supports all available formats except Panasonic’s proprietary RAM naturally. It handles over half a dozen different brands of DVD R & RW with no problem. I may also confirm that it has little trouble with scratched and damaged disks provided my five year has not done a number on them!. While not 5 year old proof and PC burners have trouble with that! it does deliver from moderately degraded disks.

We can dismiss the old nonsense about LPs sounding “better” than LPs right here and now. This was never true. I have listened to LPs in pristine conditions on $1,000+ record players and the lowest end CD player is far superior to any LP/record player mix. Asserting the reverse is indulging in nostalgia to the point of brain damage. I will trade the clearness and lack of analogue fuzz and distortion over the fictional “warmth” of LPs.

Red Book CD playback is excellent. But where it really shines is with MP3s, particularly with 320 kpbs the highest quality MP3 possible. It also handles CBR and VBR MP3s. The sound is totally stunning, far superior to Red Book cds, let alone the century old, cranky, crackly, popping archaic LPs. This player with also display album covers if they are in jpeg form. And MPS shuffle complete IS possible with this player. Again, READING the directions will save one grief AND embarassment.

Although the technical description claims this player isn’t “THX certified” I’m watching “Return of the Jedi” as I write this it plays the THX is smart clearness.

This player has so many functions that I have still to play with all of them. The “Quick Set up” lets one to get going nearly now. But it’ll take you a good while to explore all its potential.

It also has one remaining function I have not seen on any other set top. Though my surround sound receiver does not have a DTS decoder, this player lets me to hear DTS tracks any way. An excellent and totally unexpected bonus.

I have still to attempt the SACD capability, mainly because there’s little music in which I am interested that was ported to this format.

Bottom line: a great player, with great features at an excellent price point. Ignore the ridiculous complaints from many reviewers and certainly think about this set top.

the needs of persons differ, my major concern is generally the sound quaility, in this case I was happy. I also appreciate this units capability to deal with less than perfect conditioned dvds. Having said that, I did find the unit sluggish in answer time and missed the title read out. Still over all I was pleased.

   sony dvp nc875v is easy setup and easy to use. Using the upscale setting and a standard DVD with TV at 720p, the picture is bright and beautifully detailed. Much better picture than I had expected. I definitely recommend this player. It is thinner but a bit wider than my last player, so be sure it will fit your allotted space..

    I was impressed with the good quality this very affordable
    player offers. The upconversion to High Def is good, its design and additional input for flash drives is a plus.
    The HDMI output delivers a crisp, clear signal and the remote is nicely designed. No draw backs with this great performing system.
