Sony DVP S 725

If you don't have a Sony 725, then you might have to move quickly - From what i've heard recently, there is the chance that Sony might stop making them quite soon. Some say this isn't true as it is still regarded as a current range Sony player because of the differences with the 735, but i have seen the 725 become harder and harder to come by since the 735 was launched. Even if production is to continue for a little while longer - why wait til the last minute?! - this is an awesome player, which you will find hard to match in the 300-500 GBP price range or any other for that matter. If you forget the suberb picture (incorporates a 2 ...  Read the complete review

As everyone already knows, DVD is the video format of the future. Absolutely any DVD player will blow even the best VCRs out of the water. So, what is the advantage of buying a relatively expensive player like this rather than one of the low-end Samsungs/Wharfedales of this world? In terms of picture and sound quality, the difference between even the very best and very worst DVD players is fairly slight. Sometimes the colours appear a little more vibrant, but you have to see them one after the other to tell the difference. The real advantages, you see, are features and compatability. Were I to buy a cheap DVD player, I would live in constant fear of ...  Read the complete review

The DVD player is the video format of our lives and our childrens to follow. I would say that any DVD player will compete at the highest levels with your state of the art video recorders by the simple method of attacking and then punishing. What are the advantages of buying an expensive "video player" I hear you ask, well my answer would be that DVD's are the thing of the future and anybody that has not moved with the times will regret it. The picture and sound quality of this particular player are phenomenal and does outshine many of the others that i have seen even though it is said that the difference between the best and worst DVD players on ...  Read the complete review

I upgraded from a cheaper machine to the Sony dvd725 and I must admit I didn't think that there would be such a difference in overall quality between the two machines. The Sony is quite a good looking machine that is available in standard black or brushed silver finish. The first thing that strikes you when you spin a dvd in the Sony is the bright vivid colours that it outputs, the whites are outstanding (look like they've been washed with persil) the picture is vibrant to say the least, it would be difficult to imagine the picture could be better. The sony has an onboard 5.1 decoder so you can hook it up to your amp that has 5.1 pre-outs and enjoy ...  Read the complete review

I have been a fan of home cinema for 5 years now. The moment i was shown a dvd in all its glory i was hooked its as simple as that. I allready owned a dvd player this being the pioneer 919 dvd/laserdisc but with the end of laserdisc player manufacturing i decided that i would really like to use the pionner for laserdisc playback and have a stand alone dvd player to handle the new format. I opted for a multiregion sony 725 and to say i am impressed is well a understatement. As soon as the player comes out of the box you get the feeling that this is a very well made piece of equipment , it feels very solid and weighs quite a bit compared to other ...  Read the complete review
