Yamaha DV-S5750

Pros: Video: Excellent Sound: Excellent Can upconvert CD's

Cons: Remote: not lit

The Bottom Line: I recommend this unit to anyone with an HDTV while you wait for the HD DVD war to end. You don't need upconversion if your TV already does it!

Review: BACKGROUND Well just to give you some background of where I started from. I have a Toshiba 42H82 42” HDTV rear projection with component inputs only, no digital connections like DVI or HDMI. For audio I have the ONKYO HTR520 6.1 receiver. Then, I ...

Pros: Plays many types of media, high-quality playback, more!

Pros: Easy to operate, compact, and a good buy for the price.

Cons: No eject button on the remote. Remote not back-lit.

Pros: Good picture, takes multiple formats

Cons: DivX can be choppy, though source file can be modified so that it works beautifully.

The Bottom Line: Recommended for people who have enough of a working knowledge of the Internet to seek out some solutions.

Review: I took back my Philips DVP 642 and exchanged it for the Yamaha DV-S5750 hoping that I would get a better picture, especially when viewing DivX. The good news is, the picture is better. I tested it on different discs (DVD-R, -RW, +RW and CD-R) and the ...
