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!

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

Cons: Remote, text limit in menus

The Bottom Line: This player has many good features and abilities for a low price, makes it a solid buy.

Pros: Good picture, takes multiple formats

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

The good news is, the picture is better. I tested it on different discs (DVD-R, -RW, +RW and...

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

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

The Bottom Line: I heartily recommend this unit to anyone like I am, who can't afford to spend money on a whim and is a bit skittish of an expensive purchase like this.

Review: I purchased this Yamaha DVD player based on the reviews here at Epinions. My old DVD player was a top-of-the-line Panasonic unit built in 1998, which I bought from a friend in 2001. Unbeknownst to me, this unit had a defect in which the read assy...
