Buying tips

• The DVP-NS758HP is a low end DVD player. It does not support Blu-ray and neither can it drive 4K displays. 
• The Graphical User interface on the DVP-NS758HP is very dull and uninspiring something we have almost become accustomed with majority of Sony products. 
• For multi audio coded DVD titles,  enabling DTS decoding on the settings menu is not sufficient to play the DVD title with DTS sound. You have to manually select the Audio on the RMT-197P remote, otherwise it defaults to Dolby Digital decoding.
