Yamaha DVDC950 5-disc DVD/SACD Changer
sweet but a few minor complaints
This is a really good lookin unit and so far has worked flawlessly.To start, the remote is not much of one, but it works.Kinda cheap, even cheap looking.If you want to load or begin on a specific disc you have to press the same button on the romote repeatedly, and when you go to load all 5 discs two of the slots only come out half way but, when you want to change a disc or two while one is playing that is the only slot that dose not come fully out.One thing I really like is the tray does not rotate when you open it everytime like some units.And, as far as I can figure there is no way to scroll the text after the initial scroll.Plus, it seems that the text on tv screen is limited to just a few letters.The unit upconverts the picture to 1080i to match my Hitachi and I have to say its a gorgeous picture.I went from a Kenwood DV5700 that had the DCDI chip on it, and it had a gorgeous progressive scan picture and the fact that this unit had the chip was a major selling point, little did I know hooking up via HDMI/DVI to the tv it bypasses the DCDI chip.I wont be missing it,the picture is that sweet.The unit has several picture adjustments that I havent felt the need to play with yet.But nice to know they are there.The fact this is a universal player was the biggest selling point for me, and so far it had played everything I have threw at it,dvdr's,vcd's, cd's, mp3's, dvd-audio's,dual disc's,etc.I havent tried sacd's yet, but give me time.I really dont care for the orange lettering and numbering on the display. I wish I could change the colors but no big deal.Overall I wouldn't hesitate in buying this unit again.The few minor complaints are just that, minor gripes about things this player dosent do that I have had on other players that I liked.
