Advantages: Sony - what more do you want?

Disadvantages: Region 2 only

The adverts on TV began telling me to get into the DVD revolution about a year ago and finally about four months back now I succumbed to its promise of outstanding picture quality and mind blowing sound. So off I went to my nearest retailer to see about getting rigged up. Among the range that I saw, one of these fine machines stood out to me for two reasons. Firstly it was a Sony and the brand name is important as I?ve had no problems with ANY other of my Sony electronics, which most of my home entertainment system already is, and secondly because of the five free DVD?s that were bundled with the player.

The 525D isn?t one of those players that comes with shed loads of useless features (zoom been one of them). It does however have all the important stuff at the back ? duel scart, s-video, dts and Dolby to name but a few. This means it sounds awesome linked upto my surround sound system! The Matrix been a favourite for this.

A good entry-level machine, that?s been recently updated by Sony to the 535. The only thing it lacks is initial multi-region ability, but as its now classed as an ?old? player, I just got mine chipped for forty-eight quid (pick up, fit and deliver!) not bad at all.
