Sony DVP-SR200P/B DVD Player, Black

[Note: When I purchased this to play CDs, it was going for $37 on Amazon (in 2009). At it's current price I'd be more hesitant to recommend it. In fact, in late 2014 Amazon listed a "smart" Sony BluRay player with remote and hundreds of sites (incl. Netflix and Amazon Prime) for $40. Given the problems I've had with a recent Roku, I'd recommend that purchase for DVDs (BluRay and non), CDs, and access to all internet streaming services (with the exception of Apple.] At first it was hard adjusting to the limited means of playing my old LPs, especially with belts on turntables wearing out, styli going bad, etc. But equally discouraging was the discovery that, with the exception of those cheapo disc-sized players sold at the drugstore for twenty bucks (made by GPX, Emerson, Coby, J-Win, etc., and guaranteed to last a week or two), the major companies--Sony, Panasonic, etc.--had given up on CDs as a medium altogether (young people rarely buy CDs anymore). So I was beginning to despair of finding something other than my computer drive for playing CDs. Then the idea came to me (slow and late, as usual). Why not look for an "ordinary" DVD player, if one still exists (it won't be long before even the "upconverting" models are history). This Sony is less expensive than the disc-sized portable players I had once used--and it's no more than the size and weight of 2-3 of those little frisbees. Incredibly compact, yet coming with an ample-sized remote and features like component cable connections (in addition to composite ones), compensation for different formats (4:3 vs. 16:9, video vs. movie), even a convenient timer button for determining the time used and remaining on an individual track or the entire disc.) I don't plan to use it with a monitor, though its size and weight would make it the machine of choice for travel--whether on a vacation or to the old tube set in the basement. It'll play CDs, MP3 discs, DVDs, and practically anything else you throw at it, and it's just passed a couple of road tests by playing slightly damaged CDs that had jammed my car's player. It's hard to square something like this Sony with the large and expensive DVD players that first began appearing just 6-7 years ago. It's a black, sleek sliver of a thing, but it performs with the best of them (perhaps even including some upconverting models). Unless you plan to upload all of your CDs as compressed files stored in your computer (I know someone who did so but can't stop kicking himself now), this item at under 40 Prime may be just the ticket.

After my previous DVD player had started to show its age, i decided it was time to put her down... Although it did last a pretty long time almost 10 years! Any who, after looking for a quick and cheap replacement, I read reviews and searched all over Amazon, and then I finally came across this gem. Shipping was great, took only 2 days! After about a month of use, it does really well, I have only had one problem with one DVD, only slightly damaged and it couldn't read it, no problem though, 1 out of 728 DVD's isn't too bad. Buy this and you won't be sorry! *Remote is easy to use *Decent range for remote *Minimal buttons on device *Player is sleek and small *Multiple Formats/files supported *Cheap = Money Savings

The Sony DVP-SR200P/B DVD Player Black has big features packed into a economical package for the price. It has (wait for it) a Resume feature after you turn off the player, you turn it on a voila, start where you left off. I hate fast fowarding back where I was to watch the rest of a DVD I was watching. I do not understand why most manufactures took this feature out? You can program the order of playback audio and video. I like to watch artist live performance Dvd's while I work out. I can't afford ticketmaster and prices of live shows any more so I buy the dvds. With little sony Dvp-sr200P/B I can program or shuffle the order of the songs as I wish to suit my work out. These feature also works on Cd's Mp3. It's not all region player but it has enough features for extra DVD player to play just about anything. It has Inputs and Outputs Coaxial Audio Digital Outputs (Rear) Component Video (Y/Pb/Pr) Output(s) : 1 (Rear) Composite Video Output(s):1(Rear) RCA Audio Output(s) : 1 (Rear) What I do wish it had was a S/video 0utput jack but can't have everything?

I purchased this little DVD player as an accessory to my system just to play CD's. It was simple, cheap and no problems hooking up. I can't speak to the quality of the video since I never used it for such. I only ever played CD's in the thing twice. Now 6 months later I am unable to get the thing to turn on. I never left it in the 'on' position, it was always 'off'. Sony says "Great. It's under warranty. Send us $33 for exchange or $30 flat rate for repair" The darn thing only cost $35 in the first place! Not happy at all...and even worse...my disk is stuck inside! I think I'll smash it to pieces to get the disk out, then smash it some more...then send it back to the Sony Repair Center. Look somewhere else for a higher end product...
