Introducing the Sony DVP-NS725P Progressive-Scan DVD Player, a perfect blend of affordability and high-end video performance. This versatile single-disc player supports a wide range of formats including DVD-Video, DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+RW, CD-R, CD-RW, and MP3 CDs, making it an ideal choice for all your viewing and listening needs.

The DVP-NS725P is designed to enhance your home entertainment experience, especially if you own an HDTV or plan to upgrade in the future. Thanks to Sony’s Precision Cinema Progressive de-interlacer, the player delivers stunning visuals with its progressive scan capability. With a resolution of 480p, it uses twice the scan lines of a conventional DVD, resulting in sharper images and elimination of motion artifacts.

One common issue with DVDs is the distortion that occurs when converting 24 frames per second movies to 30 fps video. The DVP-NS725P addresses this with its 3:2 pulldown technology, ensuring a film-frame-accurate picture that maintains the integrity of the original content.

For connection versatility, the player is equipped with both composite and S-video outputs, making it compatible with nearly any television setup. Furthermore, it features Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel surround sound decoding, allowing you to enjoy rich audio quality when connected to compatible AV receivers.

One standout feature of the DVP-NS725P is its Precision Drive 2 technology. This innovative system significantly improves the player’s ability to read discs that may be scratched or warped, ensuring smooth playback even with less-than-perfect media. Additionally, the DVD resume memory function allows you to pause a movie and resume watching later, picking up exactly where you left off. It can save resume points for up to 40 discs!

The player also comes loaded with playback options that enhance your viewing experience. Features include a 10-second instant replay for quick scene reviews, a user-friendly quick setup, DVD/CD Text capabilities, and a digital video enhancer that fine-tunes the picture quality. Moreover, the digital video EQ (equalization) allows for customized sound adjustments, perfect for creating a tailored audio experience.

For added convenience, the DVP-NS725P includes Advanced SmoothScan and SmoothSlow modes, as well as multidisc resume for up to 6 discs. You can easily navigate through titles and chapters with its Title and Chapter Viewer, and enjoy peace of mind with the custom parental control memory for managing viewing content on up to 40 discs.

In the box, you will find everything you need to get started: the DVP-NS725P DVD player, a remote control (RMT-D153A), two AA batteries for the remote, an analog audio/composite video cable, and a user’s manual to guide you through setup and operation.

In summary, the Sony DVP-NS725P Progressive-Scan DVD Player is designed to bring the cinema experience into your home. With its extensive format support, advanced features, and superior video quality, it is an essential addition to any entertainment setup.
