Sylvania DP170SL8 1080p Upconverting DivX Compatible DVD Player Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Pros:

- No problem reading Netflix, or other marginal quality, DVDs
- Two zoom levels, around 200% and 350% of original picture size
- Can enhance picture brightness and turn virtual surround sound on/off while viewing
- Change caption and audio language, including commentary tracks, while viewing (most functions can be performed while watching the program)
- Remembers where you were when you stopped a program or shut the player off, and will resume from that point.
- Video outputs for Analog, component, S-Video, and HDMI
- Audio outputs for both analog and digital sound
- Plays both unprotected and licensed DivX content
- Easy setup, with auto revert test for progressive scan compatibility
- * Allows pass through of closed captioning not encoded as a feature on the disk

* (Some DVDs don't have digital captions programmed on them, but the source copy included closed captioning for televisions that support it.This is often found on DVDs made from television programs, and some low budget movies.Other players I've used don't allow that embedded caption track to reach the set.Playing a Sopranos DVD recently, this type of closed caption wouldn't work with either my Magnavox or new Phillips players.They work fine with the Sylvania units.A very big plus for me)

Cons:

- The on-unit time counter display is a bit too small (need to use the on-screen display)
- Will only play U.S. Region 1, NTSC, format. (very few people will care about this)
- Only comes with analog cables

I now have two different models of Sylvania DVD players.I've used other brands, and although they all have some odd limitations, the Sylvania models com closest to doing everything I need or want.I usually have no sense of brand loyalty, but I'm sticking with players made by this company until the rest finally catch up.
