Yamaha DVD S 1700

Advantages: Brilliant DVD player, perfect quality
Disadvantages: cant think of any

...Yamaha products are really good i have several in my living room and this is only a small portion of the full thing. This DVD player plays DIVX files which is always useful, it plays CD's and DVD's made from your computer (pirate). It is the best quality DVD player i have ever had, mine is liked to my Pioneer 44" plasma television and the picture quality is amazing. I also have the YAMAHA RX-V457 sound system hooked up to it aswell and it really does deliver the best way to watch dvd's at home. My setup is better than going to the cinema the picture and sound quality is simply the best. This is an essential part of my collection, forget about BLU-Ray this is the future!

Advantages: Reliable, robust DVD player
Disadvantages: Bit on the chunky side

...I got my Yamaha DVD-S520 for Christmas 2002. It was purchased from Richer Sounds for £129.95 (plus £9.99 delivery), though nearly a year and a half on I imagine you might be able to pick one up a bit cheaper. I also paid a little extra to get the region free version of this player. I had decided to get a DVD player after many months of attempting to watch films on my computer through the DVD-ROM drive. Due to some technical problem with my computer, I was unable to watch many films through to the end. This wasn?t even remedied after buying a hardware DVD decoder card, an extremely frustrating situation as you might imagine! It was time to cut my losses and buy a decent player. Due to space limitations in my mini Aladdin?s cave of a room, I wanted a DVD player that I?d be able to watch through the TV card of my computer, so it was... Read review
