Sony DVP-S7000 DVD Player

Great DVD player!

This was my very first DVD player and I bought it as soon as it was released for $1,000 at the store. I really enjoyed the high level of audio and video performance that it provided, which when it was released was unmatched by any other player on the market.

The tilt-down door was unique and entertaining, not to mention a nice way to conceal the typical disc player styling, by hiding the disc drawer behind it. The front LCD display was animated, bright and easy to read.

I also like how behind the front tilt door, there were directions buttons (including Enter) to navigate disc menus while you are starting a movie, standing at the player, and the remote was still sitting in your seat. Great design. The on-screen menu was easy to set-up and adjust in just a few seconds.

It literally played EVERY SINGLE DVD I EVER PUT IN IT WITHOUT ANY ISSUE.
No skipping, no locking up, no "Disc Error" messages. A slight delay for layer changes, but "Who cares?".

The remote has well laid out buttons for transpoft functions and even the Play button is slightly oversized so it's easy to locate.

If every piece of electronics was made this well, the world would be a happier place. Support high-end products folks, they're cheaper in the long run!

Used only as CD player so far. rivals my X707ES balanced-output high end Sony player using the 7000's RCA outputs. Bass has incredible grip & definition down to 20 something hertz, and very smooth & natural midrange & treble. No tizzy cymbals here! Considering what they sell for these players are incredible bargain! New CD players with this performance cost north of 600.00 and on up. Five Star ratting! *****

An excellent dvd player. One of "Sony's best" is the only way to describe it. I actually have a newer version of this player, but to find one in this pristine condition, is a miracle. The picture is outstanding and the player works flawlessly.

This product is very good quality and very usefull for me. Recomended DVD plyer. Sony is imho standart and good choice for everyonu who wants a quality without questions.

We have owned just about ever CD/DVD under my sun but I must say this super high-end player has one of the best CD transports in the market even today! This was Sony's first DVD player with a MSRP of $1,000 + tax. This thing is built like a tank at just under 16lbs. Plays all types of cd's and you can have a dance party and not worry about your cd or dvd skipping. Some of the very first s7000's and a PAL with a switch built into the unit that Sony never told the public. I think this are a steal at any price under $300 if you can shag one up. I have been running one in my personal system with heavy usage with ZERO problems. I even heard that this might be the same transport that Mark Lev used in high Flagship CD player? Again if you can find one of these its a amazing all around video and audio player. Just Google DVP-S7000 and see all the info floating around. Cheers
