Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Yamaha's five-disc DVD-Video changer plays DVD-Video discs, CDs, and VCDs, in addition to CD-R/RW discs, DVD+R/RW discs, and MP3s, making it a versatile all-in-one playback device. Featuring interlaced and progressive scan video output, the device also incorporates a sophisticated antivibration system that includes shockproof memory circuitry and a large disc stabilizer. Using Yamaha's patented PlayXchange system, the changer can swap out four discs while the fifth is still playing, eliminating the awkward gap most units offer while discs are rotating. The high-performance laser pickup features independent heads to provide top-quality VCD, SCD, and DVD performance.

The changer includes a number of features to enhance video and sound. The Cinema Image feature reads when a movie is playing and softens the brightness for better viewing on conventional direct-view TVs. It also improves the visibility of dark scenes and reduces picture noise. Yamaha's high-quality 54 MHz/12-bit video digital-to-analog converter and 4:4:4 progressive component video circuit ensure the finest possible video performance. Sound-wise, the device includes 192 kHz/24-bit compatible audio digital-to-analog conversion, ensuring superior sound performance. In addition, Yamaha's Cinema Dialogue circuitry provides a steady and centered audio image, helping maintain the direction and intelligibility of a movie's script. Operating the changer is easy with the unit's well-designed remote control keypad.

The DV-C6660 comes with a number of output options, including Intelligent Progressive video output; component video, S-video, and composite video outputs; and optical and coaxial digital audio outputs. It also features a mixed two-channel output with 3-D surround.

3.0 out of 5 stars Decent player with some flaws, November 19, 2006

This review is from: Yamaha DV-C6660 5-Disc Progressive Scan DVD Changer (Electronics)

OVERALL: I purchased this for $70, which is probably what it is worth. It will get the job done, but not gracefully. I would not purchase another Yamaha DVD player, but I'm not rushing to get rid of this one either.

Video : good quality output, no problems here. Lots of output types supported.

Audio : Again, good quality, digital outputs are great.

Mechanical : This is where I have trouble. CD Switching is VERY SLOW. which makes shuffling (primary purpose of multi-disc player, in my opinion) painful. The Open-Close is equal slow. Poor mechanics. Only nice feature is "play-exchange" which means that you can switch discs without stopping the current DVD / CD.

Remote : ugly, poor button configuration, difficult to use, and the player responds to the remote variably (slow, or sometimes not at all)

User Interface: On screen is a nice feature, but ugly. Not very user friendly.
