The Sony DVP-NC800H 5-Disc Carousel DVD Player brings your home theater experience to a whole new level with superb HD DVD imagery and exquisite digital audio sound. Your current DVD library will look and sound better than ever before, because it is a backward-compatible multi-format DVD player, capable of upconverting your DVDs to a 1080p high-definition experience. Enjoy the awesome power of Dolby Digital and DTS digital-audio for a wider, more enveloping surround-sound experience. To help you re-create the thrill and realism of today's movie soundtracks at home, this player offers superb features such as a 192KHz/16-bit processor, and optical/coaxial digital audio outputs for connection to your home theater receiver.

Though it's a powerful DVD player, it can also be used as a CD or MP3 player, offering you the ability to share your favorite songs and photos with friends and family. In addition, it presents superb functionality and high-end features that will be hard to match, such as Precision Cinema Progressive, component video output, HDMI output, fast/slow motion playback with sound, and Precision Drive 3 System. With connectivity to multiple A/V components and playback capabilities of a variety of video and audio formats, the Sony DVP-NC800H answers the call with versatility and reliability.

High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI)
It features an HDMI output, capable of upconverting video signals to 720p/1080i and 1080p. This technology enables this unit to carry high-definition audio and video information through a single cable and achieving the highest quality picture and clearest sound available.
Precision Cinema Progressive Scan
This is a progressive scan DVD player, capable of scanning an entire video frame at once; scan-lines commonly associated with interlaced video are drastically reduced. The result is a spectacularly clear image with no motion artifacts (stair-stepping), and details so sharp they seem as if they're etched onto the screen.
BRAVIA Home Theater Sync
Go beyond simple audio and video transmission with the "one-touch play" remote control feature that allows you to easily manage select BRAVIA televisions and Sony HDMI audio and video components with the included remote control.
Precision Drive 3 System
This powerful feature allows you to playback some DVDs that may have been damaged or warped without a degradation of picture quality.
Built-in Multi-Channel Decoders
It has a built-in 192KHz/16-Bit digital-to-analog converter capable of reproducing Dolby Digital and DTS surround-sound.
Component Video Output
This player achieves greater color accuracy and high resolution playback capability when connected via the component output to your projector, plasma and/or LCD/CRT televisions.
Multi-Format Player
Don't worry about limited playback capabilities, it can play DVD-Video, DVD-R/W, DVD+R/W, DVD+R DL, DVD-R DL, DVD-RW (VR Mode), VCD, SVCD, MP3, JPEG files.

          The best thing about this DVD player is it has an excellent memory. If you stop a DVD in the middle of a movie and take it out of the player, when you put it back in later, it will start back up right where you stopped it. Genious!

              We wanted a combination DVD/CD player that accommodate 5 discs to play music when we had company and a DVD when we wanted to see a movie; it works great. Our only disappointment is that it does not shuffle between discs (it will shuffle individual discs) but heck, you can't have everything.

                This was bought as a replacement after 10+ years of my old 5-disc changer. Once you have the option of multiple CD/DVD's available at the punch of a button, you won't go back!! Use it for music and movies and appreciate the options available. I would definitely buy this again....hopefully in another 10 years!! Great price by B&H[...] Kudos.

                    I have had it for few weeks now and it works great! The images it produces are clear, crisp, and the sound is outstanding. I had already had hours of enjoyment from it.

                    In connecting it to the Sony Sound System, a question arose about the set-up process. I called Sony and their representative not only gave me the information I sought, but offered additional suggestions which made its use even more enjoyable. Their phone tech service, I experienced was outstanding.

                        I really love this player! I initially bought it to use solely as a CD player but I quickly changed my mind after watching a movie on it last week. The audio quality is noticeably crisp and sweet. The picture quality through the HDMI cable is utterly immaculate. I have it mated to an ONKYO receiver for sound production and I am truly pleased. Most important, you are certainly getting a deal for the price this system is selling for. I will definitely recommend for I have no negatives for this player.Of course, the 5 tray disc is also another plus. It offers the PLAY and EXCHANGE function

                          I bought this one to replace the single disc version I have now. It does everything as good as the single disc version only 5 times more now.

                          I really enjoy the option of using HDMI cables, I am an audiophile junkie, and messing with the abundance of cables was always a hassle and more of a chore than anything.

                          So the HDMI brings much needed relief to the audio/video industry. Thank you Sony!

                                Comments about Sony DVP-NC800H 5-Disc DVD Player (Black):

                                This Sony DVD with progressive scan and 5 disc carousel is able to read standard dvd discs and upgrade the image to 1080i whis is comparable to 720p. It's functions are simple to use as is it's connections. It is quite compact in size and with a HDMI connection integrates well with our 1080p television.
                                Simply stated this upconverter DVD, given my visual acuity, is only a small increment below "true HD" Blue Ray DVD and for the cost and it's ability to take 480p conventional format DVD's and convert to a 720p image along with it's ability to play (5) CD's or user created audio MP3 discs, it makes for a welcome addition to our audio/video entertainment system.
                                Have yet to find anything that is not terrific with ths Sony quality component.

                                  Got this primarily as a 5 disc CD changer, but it does DVD's, too. HDMI output makes set up very simple. It's so inexpensive but still works fine.

                                  My brother-in-law had this one before the product was out for awhile. I bought this one in May 08 and love it. It can upscale for HD, which is good since my system is built to do so.

                                  Having the 5 disc changer is convenient when I want to keep from having to change the disc when watching several in a row.

                                  If you need a budget upgrade, go with this one.
