Meets ENERGY STAR® guidelines for energy efficiency:

Many home audio and video devices can use significant power, even when turned off and in standby mode. The DVP-SR500H, however, was built for energy efficiency.

Precision Cinema Progressive™ technology:

Many other DVD players detect image changes at the scan line level; the Sony® Precision Cinema Progressive system, however, detects image changes at the pixel level. The picture is more faithful to the source -- whether film or video -- because special algorithms handle the different pixel behavior. The technology also employs separate algorithms to process the moving and still parts of an image, resulting in sharp backgrounds with moving objects that are virtually free from artifacts.

Fast/slow playback with sound:

Fast and slow playback with sound lets you advance through scenes quickly without missing the dialog.

Child lock (tray lock):

A child lock feature help prevents children from accessing the DVD player's tray.

Great Little Player I have a Sony 5 disc drawer player and a Sony BD player. Scratched, dirty discs, freeze up and won't play in any device. Handle your discs correctly and clean them and you'll enjoy this unit for a very long time. March 26, 2012
Lasts only one year!! No troubleshooting would make it work again. Had to throw away and now trying to find a new one. The shipping and repairs would cost more than the $50 purchase price. March 13, 2012
Great device! Overall, this is a really good device. But I recommend you to save your penny's, and buy a Blue-Ray player from Sony because its the next generation. The device is very good looking and the quality of the 1080 HP video is the greatest. But.... This device lacks some major items such as Internet connectivity, a "home-screen", and applications. The feel to the device and the remote seems really cheap. December 3, 2011
Freezes up and will not play - Do NOT buy! We have had our CD/DVD player for just over a year. We use it 2 to 3 times per month and it recently quit working. As others have described, it "freezes up" before it even finishes loading the DVD. The power button quit working and the only way to get the disc out was to unplug the unit from the surge protector, wait a few minutes, plug it back in, and then hit the eject button. I had not purchased a Sony product since a walkman back in the 80's and now I know why --- poor engineering, worse quality, and below average value compared to others on the market. I thought about trying to return it to Wal-Mart, but think I might just take the Office Space approach to ridding myself of this electronic nightmare. October 19, 2011
