Yamaha DVC6760 DVD Changer, Black
Great DVD player!
This dvd player was just released in Dec, 2004. I've used it for 5 months so far. It's a great DVD player. It can play everything I throw in: DVD+R, DVD-R, & VCD. Even more, it can play the AVI and MPG files on both CD and DVD media.     The picture quality is great. I have a SONY HDTV and playing movie with progressive scan (480P) is just amazing. The sound, you know what Yamaha is good at. I am quite satisfied with its performance as a whole.    My only complaint is the boot time is a little bit long. When you power it on, it takes around 10 to 15 sec to open the tray, and takes another 10 to 15 sec to identify the disc. Afterwards however, it works like a champ. 5-disc changer is awesome. I can watch drama on VCDs without leaving sofa.    There were three DVD changers I was considering to buy. Onkyo, the same brand as my amp, is my first choice. But it turns out that it doesn't support DVD+R media (or -R, I forgot. I saw the review on Circuitcity's website and some people do prove this point). So I have only two brands left, Yamaha and Sony. The Sony one (DVP-NC875V) is about $30 cheaper than Yamaha. But Sony doesn't support DivX, which means it cannot play AVI files. Besides, Sony is well known to deliver so-so audio quality. Thus I think $30 is quite worthy to invest Yamaha. And Yamaha DV-C6760 is a NEW model. Yamaha can do whatever Sony can and do it much better, while Sony cannot. $30 is not a big difference, then why not pick up a better one?    By the way, if you own this machine, there is a trick to make it REGION FREE. I did it and it works.    1. open tray and leave it open.  2. pick up the remote, press  99990   3. \\"REGION 0\\" appear in left top corner   4. close tray - DONE    The last digit is the region code. If you press 99991, it will become \\"region 1\\". 99992 is region 2. \\"0\\" means \\"region free\\". Just leave it region free then you can watch any imported DVDs.    Edit (8/12/2005):  1. This player also supports .srt (subtitles)  2. Eject from remote:Press \\"STOP\\" button of remote for 3-5 seconds.     Edit (4/11/2006):  One reviewer said this player can play MPG but only video, no audio. It's not very correct. Some MPG doesn't support digital audio output. Try analog output and you will hear the sound. :)
