Only lasted 6 months
I bought the NS50 in June 2005 and it was a terrific player - for 6 months. On December 26th it refused to read any disc I put in. Discs it had played in the past, brand new ones out of the box, all the same message - 'Can't read disc'. No one else was near the player; it just decided to die on its own. I tried everything Sony recommended on their web sight except one; taking it in for service. It's cheaper to buy a new DVD player than to pay for a repair. I've heard of planned obsolescence, but this is ridiculous.
I've owned many Sony products over the years and been very satisfied. This shakes my confidence in their brand. I've replaced it with a Panasonic and will see how that goes.
Damn good player
Has all the playback features (except MPEG-4) that one could desire. Good remote. However, the control buttons on the unit itself could be a little more user friendly.
