I started with a DAV-FC1, it would freeze up if you paused a disc for along period of time (pause, go to work, come home). Went round and round with Sony’s horrible support, they eventually send me a DAV-FR1. Guess what, the same freeze happens. And when it freezes you have to unplug it from the wall, and leave it unplugged for a while before starting over again. The unit basically works, but if you are annoyed by a consumer product that can be made to freeze, this is not for you. I’m refusing yet another replacement and demanding my money back.

Also, Sony DVD players in general (and this one specifically) deliver terrible image quality — they have the “Chroma bug”, consequently many movies look awful, especially highly saturated colors like Pixar movies. Go to google, type “DVD chroma bug” and click on the hometheaterhifi.com link, the chroma bug is explained in detail there (with pictures), an interesting read if you care about this kind of thing. This is not gear-head nit-picking, many movies look just terrible — little checkerboard patterns all over highly saturated orange Nemo. Blech - it just ruins the movie for me. (You can also google “DVD chroma bug Sony” and see that many Sony players still have this bug. The whole “Dream System” series has this bug.) At WalMart you can buy $80 DVD players that took the time to fix this bug.
