Marty, as a point of clarification, it is the Sony DVP-NS500V that plays SACDs. It is an interlaced player. The DVP-NS700P progressive-scan player does not play SACDs. Just to confuse things, the UK version of the 'NS500V is the 'NS700V.
Thanks Keith. I just corrected a posting in another thread where I meant the 500 and not the 700. I have looked at so many DVD players in the $250-300 range, I can't keep the model numbers straight.
