Our verdict

A plain DVD and CD player for a guest room or older TV where simple disc playback is all you need. It outputs standard definition, so it does not upscale to HD or play Blu-ray.

Overview

A guest room, a dorm or a basement TV is where this Sony player fits, a compact progressive scan DVD deck that also plays CDs and music files. Precision Drive reads scratched or warped discs, and the remote also runs many TV brands.

Reading damaged discs well and controlling the TV from one remote make it a low fuss way to keep a disc collection playing. Output stops at standard definition, with no Blu-ray or streaming.

Who it's for

Owners of DVD and CD collections who want a basic, dependable player. Viewers with large HD screens who want sharper pictures should look at an upscaling or Blu-ray player.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Handles flawed and warped discs
  • Plays CDs and MP3s too
  • Dolby Digital decoding
  • Remote controls many TV brands
Cons
  • Standard definition output only
  • No Blu-ray playback
  • Output connections not detailed

Performance notes

Disc reading relies on the Precision Drive system, which corrects for scratches and warping so playback carries on with fewer skips. Picture sharpness is limited by standard definition output, which looks soft on a large HD screen.
