Yamaha DV-S5770 DVD Audio / Video Player with SACD, Silver
Outstanding quality and performance and versatile as well
Yamaha makes outstanding audio and video products and this DVD/CD player is no exception. As is the case with most good DVD players these days, this Yamaha has progressive scan which gives enhanced picture quality when playing DVDs with a high-definition TV. You may not have HD TV yet but you probably will have one within a year or two, at which time you'll want a top notch DVD player with progressive scan capability, such as this Yamaha. <br /> <br />For people who like great sound as well as great pictures, something very important sets this model apart from most other good progressive scan DVD players: it plays both the new DVD Audio CDs and the even better sounding Super Audio CDs (as well as MP3s). Most modern DVD players play regular CDs as well as DVDs, and some play MP3s, but very few have the capability to also play both DVD Audio and Super Audio CDs which are the highest fidelity audio media currently available. And SACD circuitry can actually improves the sound of regular CDs as well. So if you want both the best picture and the best sound, a progressive scan player with DVD-A and SACD capability is the one to get. This Yamaha has both of these features at a very reasonable price for equipment of this outstanding quality and versatility.
