Product Description
The DVP-NC85H five-disc DVD player offers 720p/1080i upscaling through an HDMI connection (High Definition Multi Media Interface). HDMI allows the transfer of uncompressed digital audio and video signals to other HDMI equipped components, providing an uncompromised picture. It also features Precision Cinema Progressive technology, which delivers accurate and vivid images to the television. Unlike other DVD players that detect image changes at the Scan line level-Sony's Precision Cinema Progressive (PCP) system detects them at the Pixel level. This results in images closer to the original source data, because separate, optimized algorithms are used to handle the differing Pixel behavior. Precision Drive III mechanism is also included, which helps maximize the performance of DVD collections by reading data even on some physically "warped" discs. Other benefits include a 12bit/108MHz video DAC (digital to analog converter), and 24 bit/192KHz audio, providing high-quality video and audio processing for vivid images and crystal clear sound.
Amazon.com Product Description
Store hours upon hours of entertainment in Sony's DVP-NC85H/S five-disc carousel changer. This versatile unit plays DVDs and a variety of older disc formats, such as VCD and SVCD, as well as your favorite music CDs. And since the unit supports HDMI connections, you're sure to get the best picture possible.
HDMI Compatible
High-Definition Multi-media Interface (HDMI) is an interface format that provides uncompressed digital audio and video directly to a digital television. It represents the current state of the art in high-definition video and sound because the information never has to be converted into an analog format. Another benefit of HDMI is that it puts all that information into one cable and one easy-to-use connector.
An added benefit of connecting the DVP-NC85H/S to your set with HDMI is that the unit can "upscale" commercial DVDs, which are rendered at 480p resolution, to a digitally interpolated 720p resolution, which makes for a much sharper picture.
For analog sets, the DVP-NC85H/S includes a 108 MHz 12-bit digital-to-analog converter for sharp picture and clear action. It features composite, S-video and component video connectors, as well as optical digital, coaxial digital, and RCA analog audio outputs.
Precision Cinema Progressive
While other DVD players detect image changes at the scan line level, Sony's Precision Cinema Progressive (PCP) system detects them at the pixel level. This makes the picture more faithful to the source--whether film or video--because the technology uses separate, optimized algorithms to handle the differing pixel behavior. It also uses separate algorithms to process the moving and still parts of an image, resulting in sharp backgrounds with moving objects that are virtually free from motion artifacts.
Precision Drive 3 System
Sony's DVP-NC85H/S delivers excellent picture and sound quality--even from damaged discs. How? The unit's Precision Drive 3 system allows you to playback some DVDs that may have been damaged or warped without a degradation of picture quality. This feature comes in handy when watching rentals or other heavily used discs.
MP3 and JPEG File Playback
The DVP-NC85H/S plays MP3 sound files and JPEG photo files. Simply insert the disc and use the remote control to navigate through your folders to your files.

Save Your Money!.......2007-12-13
This product worked flawlessly as long as the warranty was good. Then....
It shut itself down. I checked Sony's website and found that they would
exchange it.....for $103.04....almost exactly what I paid for it in the
first place. No thanks. I will never buy another Sony product, save for
their TV's. By some fluke, they are excellent.
Great progressive scan 5 disk DVD changer.......2007-12-07
I've been using Sony 5 disk DVD changers going back to the 1990's and they've all been great. The last DVD player was a progressive scan 5 disk changer with SACD, and is now in the bedroom because the Sony DVD player I bought back in the 1990's finally died.
This player works great I've only had it for a few months, but it has never given me any trouble, and I like features of the player.
My earlier main player had a great picture with its progressive scan, and to be honest I was a little disappointed in the up-scaling. But a 5 disk DVD changer with progressive scan at this price is a great deal regardless.
By the way I have it hooked up to a Sony 55" 1080i LCD HD TV, and have both the HDMI and a component cable hooked up, and when I switch between the two video input's I do see a subtle difference, but it's not an overwhelming change (however I do view the HDMI input most of the time).
Over all it's produces a great picture, and has all the features I look for in a DVD changer, and at this price level it really is a great buy.
Outstanding Picture Quality.......2007-08-25
I've had this player for 9 months and have been very satisfied with its performance. For those that own an HDTV with an HDMI connection, this is a great alternative to the currently high-priced HD-DVD and Blu-ray players and provides a near-HD quality picture at a much lower price. I've compared this player's video output with cable HDTV broadcasts and the DVD picture quality is very close to actual HD.
The player is connected to a 42" Sony HD microdisplay with an HDMI cable. I've also connected a standard 480p player to the same TV using a component cable and the picture quality was far inferior compared with the HDMI connection. The HDMI cable I use is reasonably priced at around $20 and works very well. It isn't necessary to buy an overpriced and overhyped cable like Monster's.
I'll eventually buy an HD player once the HD-DVD vs. Blu-ray issue is settled. I'm very happy with this player in the meantime.
Excellent unit.......2007-08-22
I've had this player for over a year and have had absolutly no issues with it. Like most upscaleing dvd players it will only upscale to 720P and 1080I through HDMI-not componet. If you have an older hdtv without either an HDMI or DVI input you will have to look elsewhere-there are a few dvd players that will upscale through componet. I don't use it for playing cds-I have a Panasonic DVD-F87 5 disc player that excells at cds. The picture quality at 720P (at least on my hdtv) looks better than 1080I. Highly rated player in my book.
Disappointing.......2007-07-09
I received this player as a prize, and was really looking forward to using it. It worked fine for about 2 weeks, then the "locked" message was displayed on the unit, and the tray would not open. I followed the directions in the manual, which didn't work. I unplugged the unit, which didn't work. Finally, I contacted Sony, who told me that it would need to be sent in for service. After searching for a solution online, I've found that this is not an uncommon problem. I wouldn't recommend taking a risk with your money on this Sony.

Customer Reviews:
Hubby's Christmas.......2008-01-01
I ordered these for my hubby's Christmas present this year, so to be honest, we have not had a chance to use them. Amazon shipped my order very quickly and I had no problems there.
We live in the mountains, and hubby hunts and 4 wheels all the time. Now he can communicate with others, that he will be with, when they get separated. They seem to be working great, and he loved the car plug in to recharge them, along with a recharger for the house.
He is really looking forward to using them in the spring, summer, and fall.
Excellent product!.......2007-12-28
This is the best set of radios I've used so far. Transmits very strong, great battery life, many useful features. Used these in very poor weather (sub-freezing temps, wind driven rain, snow, etc...) for a remote hunting trip. Both units worked without any problems or issues. My only advise to those considering these units is to familiarize yourself with them before leaving for a trip. The instructions are somewhat complicated and they do take some time to familiarize with all the functions. Once you figure it out they are worth the money.
26 Miles? Not but they do work well for shorter distances.......2007-12-06
I got the walkie Talkies very quickly and within the time I expected them. I only wish they really did work at the kind of distance they were advertised at. No matter, for shorter distances they are a good solid product and will not go to waste but if you are really looking for more distance you will be better off spending the money and getting a more expensive set. For the price, you can't beat them.
Better than any other.......2007-12-01
I've tried Motorola, Cobra and some others. Even though this isn't perfect, it's hands down better than any other I've had. Of course the 26 miles is bogus, just as if it said 5 mile or 10 mile. I believe they must be talking about the vacuum of space. But it does have great range, and the biggest positive is the clarity of sound. Extremely clear. The only gripe is the volume. I wish it could be a little louder. I use them outside and traffic noise sometimes makes me have to put the unit closer to me ear. But you can always use the headset which comes with it.
I purchased 2 of these and was impressed. So I got 2 more.
Good product but the range is not as advertised.......2007-11-28
I feel it is a better product compared to Motorola's T6500 (I have one). The sound is clear and loud enough for me, though some comment said the sound is a little low. The power can be configured by 3 levels: high, mid, and low. The channels can be set by either GMRS or FRM. The transmitting range (even at 5w high power) is less than 2 miles in a metro area, which you may want to consider. 26 miles transmitting range is a bit too boasting. You can easily find a math formula on the web to calculate the transmitting distance with 5w power and 4 inch antenna. Keep in mind, the power loss is proportional to the distance' square. If you really need 26 miles transmitting distance, walkie-talkie is a wrong solution, mobile or marine radio with 25 watts may suite your need.
