Strengths: SmoothScan, CD-R/CD-RW/DVD-RW/SA-CD capabilities, menu system, video enhancement capabilities.
Weaknesses: No zoom
Summary: Who cares what this unit (or any DVD player for that matter) looks like! That is irrelevant. Besides, black is a great color and matches most receivers which are predominatly black. Also, a five-disc capabilty is not that important. What counts is a DVD player's capabilities and performance and this unit has both in prodigious amounts. Not only will it play CD-R/CD-RW discs, it also plays DVD-RW discs, not to mention SA-CDs. Sony without question has the best slow motion capability in the business. The menu setup is clear and easy to use. Other great features are the video equalizer, digital video enhancer, and block noise reduction. Another good feature is the built-in Dolby Digital/DTS decoder for those who lack those capabilties in their receiver. The only weakness Sony DVD players have is no zoom but the other features more than make up for the lack of a zoom. This is a terrific unit for the price and guarantees that when you burn those DVD-RWs you'll be able to play them on your DVD player. There aren't very many other DVD players that can offer that guarantee.

Strengths: Great picture.plays all formats,DVD/SACD audio/VCD/SVCD/DVD+R
Weaknesses: none
Summary: I bought this because until now, only the no name companys were making DVD players that would play the SVCD format. Now Sony has entered the market with this unit and it is top notch!

Strengths: Everything.
Weaknesses: None.
Summary: Excellent machine and one of the best bargains in electronics. It's worth $500 at least, maybe a thousand. I bought this as an SACD player and it is fantastic. Also great for regular CDs and DVDs.

With a 1-CD transport there are no compromises as there are on changers. If you are too lazy to get up once an hour, perhaps you should think about exercising more.

Strengths: Has most features.
Weaknesses: Lousy black color. 1 disk
Summary: This machine looks five years old. Presentation does not describe that this is black and will not match WEGA silver producs. For this price you should get five disk capability.
