Product Description
DVD has always been a priority for Sony, and the mid-line DVP-S550D includes some features that many might consider very low priority. However, if you're into video tweaks like a video equalizer and a few other videophile extras, it's ideal for you. It's also the lowest-priced Sony DVD player equipped with the DVD Navigator remote.The S550D includes everything the modern DVD shopper needs, regardless of the sophistication of his or her home setup. An onboard Dolby Digital decoder obviates the need for a decoder-equipped receiver, and 3-mode simulated surround eliminates the need for rear speakers. For more advanced DVD buyers, a highest-quality component video output will feed so-equipped TVs. So what's a video equalizer? It allows you to make various adjustments to the picture and fine-tune video parameters. There are three presets provided, and one memory slot to store your favorite adjustments. A defeatable digital noise reduction circuit should make a visible improvement in noisy pictures. The S550D can also remember the video settings for up to 200 of your DVDs, so you only have to input them once. Other convenience-oriented features include automatic selection of the soundtrack with the highest number of channels, a screen saver, a bit-rate indicator, and bit-rate history display. It also has the smooth scan search feature, for more fluid searches and slow motion in both directions.

class action law suite.......2007-01-26
I am now getting the infamous c13:00 error that everyone is talking about. I WAS a hard core Sony fan, but I know now that I am not going to purchase another Sony product. The classaction if it goes through will give you a cheap rebuilt $60 sony player without any of the functions I now have or did have or a 40 credit. If you go on the Sony repair site they admit that they will not repair your unit, but will "SELL" you a rebuilt unit for $300. BEWARE of this product.
Feature PACKED.......2007-01-14
Sorry I know a lot of people have had issues with this player, but it is THE ONLY Sony product I would ever buy again. Back in the day (7yrs) ago I think I paid $400-500 for this thing, but the features are awesome. It has a built in line level surround processor. I have not seen one since in a DVD player. What this means to me is that I don't have to use a CHEAP sounding AV reciever with this unit. When I was at the peak I was running 3 all tube amps for the most pure sound out there. One for the center, one for the front, and one for the rear. I think the only thing you can find now is coaxial, or S/PDIF. This forces you to use a lame AV transistor sub-sound processor. This thing also came with nice remote with tons more features than today's DVD remotes. In conclusion; I feel for the people who had problems, but I love mine, and wish I had another.
Finally dying too.......2006-09-05
I guess I've been really lucky. After 4-5 years (?), my player's just starting to give c:13 errors - on about 20 percent of my Netflix rentals. One hint for people having problems: my player's become very sensitive to heat and shuts down frequently unless I give it very good ventilation. So try fanning your DVD player if you can't get through an entire movie. (Talk about being a slave to technology!)
Another C13/"No Disc" Victim.......2006-03-25
"Me too" review ahead. I was amazed (and relieved, in a way) at how many others here have seen the same thing I am now experiencing with this DVD player. As another person wrote, the player worked well when it worked. I've owned my DVP-S550D for over 6 years, and "fortunately", the frequent C13:00 errors didn't crop up until a year ago or so. Since then, the problem worsened: the player stopped playing DVDs it used to, no matter how clean they were. And currently, it just responds with "NO DISC" for any DVD/CD I put in. I have not contacted Sony yet; was considering trying to get it fixed, but after reading other posts here, seems better to trash it and just get a new one.
Most expensive unreliable DVD player.......2006-03-02
This player develops a C 13:00 error with every DVD that I play (including brand new ones), usually about 1 hour into the film. After that starts, it usually fails to even recognize that a DVD has been placed inside. You would be better off to spend $50 on a DVD player that is reliable with less features; at least you can see an entire movie.
