General Comments

I've had my Sony DAV-S888 for well over a year. Picked it up in a sale for £550. A saving of £250 on Sony list price. The wife wasn't too happy about spending this much money on a DVD player, but soon warmed when she realised how much better the picture quality was than our Samsung. The 5.1 digital and DTS meant that she was happy.

Putting in an MP3 CD was a real revalation. Over 100 tracks playable. Great for parties etc. If you see one for sale, new, buy it. I've checked out sonys new range. "style over sound"

If buying 2nd hand, then check the speaker bases aren't bent, and remove the grills on the 5 speakers and check the condition of the cones. they seem quite tough but little fingers can do a lot of damage. Also check you get all 4 extension towers.
