What is the difference between the sony DVD+rw in the green, blue, purple or yellow wrapper? since all #;s &amp; letters after 25DPW47 are not alike

I am not totally sure, but from reading all the other reviews I might venture that date of manufacture has something to do with it and the speed x2 x24 x6 etc. I bought these based on the reviews. I would further suggest to read other reviews and specs, you can also go to a Sony site and inquire there as well. Hope this helps.

I have both and the picture quality is actually better with this player via same exact amazon hdmi 1.4 high speed wires, No reciever cross-connections.If you are not going to be playing games, this is actually the one that I would buy first, and I originally bought the ps3 strictly for the bluray and AVCHD support.This Samsung also has mkv support along with all video codecs and audio codecs that the PS3 has as of 3-19-11. As you may know Sony can always make a firmware update to support mkv format or perhaps take away other codecs which I wouldn't be surprised.Plus keep in mind the past bluray lens fault issue of the PS3. I have replaced two myself as well as the ylod. Something to keep in mind. Either way you go, you may want to get a tradesquare warranty as they have a 5 day turn around good reviews.I have alot of my items covered through them and I used to think I would never buy one of those protection plans.

Since my earlier response about it not playing DVD-RW's in VR format I have tried it on DVD+RW's, and also on DVD-R's. It played the +RW's and the -R's just fine. I do not have any +R's nor any -RW's in video format, but it is probably only the -RW's in VR format that it will not play.

It's the dvd recording technology -R was developed by Pioneer the other by DVD Forum long time ago it mattered what equipment you had whether it was for -R or +R but now the machines (computers dvd recorders etc) can record & play back any of the two, same quality same speed, myself I've used both nowadays i go for the cheaper one, hopefully I've answered your question.

xavier, I was looking for the same feature set: an upscaling DVD player, converting PAL to NTSC, region-unlocked. I opted for a Pioneer DV-49AV hardware modified by 220-electronics to be region free to take advantage of the high quality conversion engine; I don't think the Pioneers accept a software region unlock code. Another suggestion might be the Philips DVP5982 which appears to have an unlock code but not quite as high a quality upscaling chipset as the Pioneer; I've not tried the 5982, but I've had good experiences with the older non-upscaling DVP5140 reading region 2 PAL DVDs.

I don't experience the video dropout when viewing the same scenes via a recording of the same movie via DVD player. Only using the satellite receiver hooked to the 806 with composite video and then uploaded to the TV via HDMI cable. I think it has something to do with the quality of the satellite video and/or inability of the receiver to "keep up" with extreme video changes.Secondly, as to the "S" at the end of the serial number, doesn't that stand for "silver".....whereas the black receiver doesn't have the "s".

I have made lots of copies of videos, photos from DVD discs. I think the rw stands for "Rewritable". I don't think you will have any problems.

This model, the one with the "A", records in 60p/50p in 1080. which wasn't available in the previous versions. The PJ I think means that this product is to be sold in Japan. But it still has english interface and all that. I hope I helped :)

Where did you get the firmware 2.5 ? My BD-P1500 is having problems reading new bluray discs.

We have recorded many dozens of dvd's on our machine using -r's. Use -rw's if you plan to reuse the disc. For best quality playback use the 4 hr recording speed or less.

I have no idea. Both have proven very reliable. I've tried other brands and they frequently have unwriteable discs in the package...Sony rarely does.Ask Sony. Grandpa 6 times also!

I purchased this item for my husband because it was one of his Christmas request and he loves it. We used DVD+R (16X 4.7GB 120min) by MEMOREX. I hope that this helps.

Hey man, I purchased the Sony HT SS2300 and it sounds really good. I have the blue TOC version of the 850. The system doesn't have a DVD or blu ray player but it is made to match up with your current movie player. I have a PS3 so it worked out well. Good system at a good price.

They are probably identical except for packaging color. You may need to see if your equipment requires +R or -R discs if it is older, but the DVD-R is most common.

The label colors go with the types of DVDs. There are only a few manuafacturers of DVDs. Check this list for help: http://www.digitalfaq.com/reviews/dvd-media.htm
