Sony DVP-S735D

1 post

I bought a Sony DVP-S735D DVD player about 3 years ago (fairly top of range then) and had no problems until January this year when the playback started to stutter and stop. The dreaded C13:00 and "No Disc" then started to appear. The player did not have heavy use nor was it badly treated - anyway, I had it repaired (New laser unit) and it worked fine until today - same problem ! I don't see myself sending it for repair again and definitely will not buy a Sony unit again. Given the high price and supposed build quality of Sony, there is surely a question mark over Sony's attitude to its customers' complaints in not admitting that there is obviously a fault with a considerable number of its players and provide a fix or recall.

Hi I have got the same DVD player and have had it now for around 4 years. It has just started doing the same thing you mention, you can be watching a DVD and it will freeze and the resume back at the begining or just stops. I bought a Boxed set of a TV programme and the player as problems reading all 4 discs and comes up with C13:00 which is rubbish as the discs are new. Also they play fine on my PC DVD Drive.
The Player has not been used that much in those 4 years what gets me though it has now problem playing CD's. Can I ask how much did it cost to get repaired and how long did the repair last. to tell you the truth i don't know why I buy Sony gear as 90% of all Sony equipment I have brought over the years as gone wrong with in a very sort space of time I wouldn't mind if it got over used. I certainly will not be buying Sony equipment in the future.
