Sony DVP-NC600 5-Disc Carousel Changer Review
Top-of-the-line component-video outputs help minimize line scan and digital artifacts on compatible advanced televisions, while composite- and S-video outputs bring compatibility with nearly any television. The back panel offers one output each for S-video, and component-video, and a pair of composite-video/stereo analog audio (left/right RCA) jacks in the event you wish to feed the same signal to two televisions. In any case, a 10-bit video DAC with 27 MHz processing ensures accurate video with smooth gradations of color and contrast.
Both Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel surround-sound signals can be routed through the player's digital-audio outputs (one each optical and coaxial) for direct connection to a full-featured audio/video receiver. The player's 96 kHz, 24-bit linear PCM decoding extracts the full performance of all linear PCM audio in the CD and DVD-Video formats. You can also process two-channel sources for surround sound: Digital Cinema Sound DSP reproduces the precise acoustics of acclaimed Hollywood mastering stages, and the TV Virtual Surround System generates the effect of surround sound speakers, even when you're limited to a TV's stereo speakers.
Instant Replay jumps back 10 seconds and commences play. It's great for those times when you miss a line of movie dialogue or when you just have to see that dance move again. Custom parental control locks playback of up to 50 user-designated discs with a four digit code, even if the discs don't carry and MPAA rating.
Other features include random play, repeat play (including A-B repeat), program play (up to 99 tracks), resume play (picks up where you last stopped--even if power is turned off--up until you open the disc tray), slow motion, scan search, and a screen dimmer to give you that theater-like blackness during video presentations.

Sony DVP-NC875V/B 5-Disc DVD/CD/SACD Changer, Black Review
The DVP-NC875V/B plays just about any disc out there, from DVD-Video to DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R, and DVD+RW. And whether your living room is currently home to an HDTV or you're merely thinking of "someday," the DVP-NC875V/B stands ready to deliver the full potential of your DVDs through Sony's Precision Cinema Progressive de-interlacer (scanning) with 3:2 pulldown processing. Progressive scanning, referred to as 480p for the number of horizontal lines that compose the video image, creates a picture using twice the scan lines of a conventional DVD picture, giving you higher resolution and sharper images while eliminating nearly all motion artifacts.
Precision Cinema Progressive technology uses a 12-bit video DAC (digital-to-analog converter) with high-bandwidth, 108 MHz processing to detect image changes at the pixel level, rather than at the level of whole scan lines. That makes this player's picture more faithful to the source--whether film or video--because it uses separate, optimized algorithms to handle different pixel behaviors. Separate algorithms are also used to process the moving and still parts of an image, resulting in sharp backgrounds with moving objects that are free from motion artifacts.
DVD mastering introduces a common distortion when adjusting 24 frames-per-second movies to 30 fps video; 3:2 reverse pulldown digitally corrects this distortion, removing the redundant information to display a film-frame-accurate picture. Composite- and S-video outputs bring compatibility with nearly any television.
Depending on the disc, SACD music releases provide super high-fidelity multichannel and/or stereo sound. As an anti-piracy measure, the DVP-NC875V/B performs its own decoding of SACD signals, passing high-resolution analog, not digital, audio to your integrated amplifier or surround receiver. This means you'll need an audio/video receiver with multichannel analog-audio inputs to appreciate multichannel SACD releases. Built-in SACD bass management helps you tailor the output level of the ".1" LFE (low-frequency effects) channel to your system, as an appropriate level may differ from the output level appropriate for Dolby Digital and DTS surround mixes.
If you're not planning to use the SACD capability for multichannel programming, both Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel surround-sound signals can also be routed through the player's digital-audio outputs (1 each RCA coaxial and Toslink optical) for simpler connection to a compatible receiver (multichannel analog and digital-audio interconnects are not supplied).
Precision Drive 3 provides a mechanism for reading DVDs that are in less than perfect condition, eliminating errors in playback due to imperfect, scratched, or warped discs.
As soon as you hook up the DVD player, a special Quick Setup screen appears ready to guide you through configuration, step by step, screen by screen. DVD resume memory kicks in whenever you stop a DVD. Later, when you come back to it, the player will pick up right where you left off before. The player holds resume points for an impressive 40 discs.
Other playback features include 10-second instant replay, DVD/CD Text display (with applicable discs), a digital video enhancer, digital video EQ (equalization), custom parental control memory for 40 discs, as well as Advanced SmoothScan and SmoothSlow Modes.

Philips DCM278/37 Micro Hi-Fi System Dock with CD for iPod/iPhone Review
Play back your iPod/iPhone while it gets a charge with this micro hi-fi system from Philips. It also offers a digital FM tuner, playback of CDs (including MP3 and WMA CDs), and streaming of MP3/WMA files directly from USB Flash drives. A sleek, space-saving design lets you set it on a bookshelf or mount it to the wall (hardware included).
Enjoy your favorite iPod tunes while charging your device. A universal dock fits most iPod/iPhone models, and your device gets a charge while it plays. When you're ready to hit the road, your iPod will be, too.
When you feel like a little live programming, flip on the radio. Digital tuning with auto scan makes it a breeze to dial up stations, and you can store up to 20 presets for instant access.
Thanks to USB Direct mode, you can also enjoy music directly from USB devices. Just plug in your USB Flash device loaded with MP3 or WMA audio files and enjoy playback, complete with ID3 tag display of track information.
Play back your favorite CDs and CD-R/RW discs, or better yet, burn a CD full of MP3 or WMA files--for hours of tunes on a single disc.
The DCM278/37 features 10 watts of total output power, pumping 5 watts each into two 4-inch woofers. It's a bass reflex (ported) system, which enables it to pump out a lot more low-end than you might expect in a system its size.
When you want a little extra low-end, use Dynamic Bass Boost. Similar to a "loudness" feature, it lets you get deep and dramatic sound, even at low listening levels.
Dial it in a bit more with Philips' "Digital Sound Control" EQ processing, which offers preset EQ curves for various styles: Jazz, Rock, Pop, and Classic Rock.
The slim and versatile DCM278/37 will blend right into your living space. It can sit securely on any shelf or cabinet, or you can wall mount the device.
A motorized sliding front door is another slick addition. The door housing the disc slides up and down at the touch of a button, and offers the visual bonus of seeing the disc spin through the transparent window.
