Totally unreliable.

General Comments
Bought this Sony DVP-S330 from Techtronics and had to send it back immediately as no Red output present from RGB socket. After that the player began to stall and jump while playing rental DVDs - try watching Vanilla Sky with that kind of fault! Initially put this down to cheap discs but eventually the player refused to even read my own DVDs. I have sent it to an engineer and it appears that the laser and transport mechanism have failed and need replacing - £140!!

Absolutely disgusted with this player as it cost ~£180 only 2 or so years ago. My faith in Sony products is waning, especially as my Sony MZ-R55 MD player suffered the same fault. Do not buy this brand until they up their game in the reliability stakes.
