Covers Unpacking the Sony CD DVD Player DVP SR210P. Now a customer of ours recently asked us to install a DVD player onto her HD television, which, sadly, has only one open component video input. Fortunately though, this player has this output. Plus, it costs very little (under $50 currently), and is simple to set up. We give direction here on unpacking it, show the accessories it comes with, and describe a few of its key features.

Unpacking the Sony CD DVD Player DVP SR210P: Step by Step

We bought this DVD / MP3 / CD player at Walmart. Sony securely packaged it as shown in the next picture. The bright red box sports a picture of the player, and lists some of the unit’s abilities.

Cut Open the Box Top

The box is notably thin and light, even when fully packed. We thought at first that it might be empty. But it wasn’t, as we found, when we slit the tape that fastens the two flaps together on the carton top, and pulled them open to reveal the contents inside, as shown next.

Lift Up the Side Flaps when Unpacking the Sony CD DVD Player DVP SR210P

The inside of the box has two inner flaps. When folded, these serve as shock-absorbing spacers. They stop the DVD player between them, from flopping about in shipment.

We then lifted each flap on the left and right sides of the box, to reveal the included NTSC video / audio cable, as shown next, along with the reference and start-up guides.

Take Out the Manuals, Remote, and Cord

Included manuals and cables.

We also located the included remote control (the Sony RMT-D197A) as shown next.

We then removed the Cellophane from the remote, and inserted the two double-A batteries into the remote.

Finally, the DVD player itself comes wrapped in a thin yet spongy protective sheet, secured with a piece of yellow tape, as shown next.

This tape is easily removed by loosening one corner of it by picking at it with a finger nail, and then peeling it away. Its adhesive is strong, yet succumbs without tearing the wrapping when peeled.

The completely unpacked DVD player is shown next.
