After a few months this unit started to get picky about recognizing dvdr/dvdrw discs. It got progressively worse, but since I don't play that many dvdrs, I did nothing. When it locked up on the Talking Heads dual discs I sent it back for repair. I received a refurbished unit with 'b-stock' stickers on the box and on the back of the unit. It is playing dvdrs better, but still no luck with the Talking Heads. Surveying the net there seems to be some major build quality issues with this unit, in addition to it's faulty firmware. Since there is no updated firmware, it is likely that some future DVD-A and/or dual disc releases will also fail to play on this unit.

I was drawn to this unit because it plays everything (including both DVD-audio and SACD formats) and is a five disc changer. Unfortunately, the unit is very slow to respond to commands, especially loading the discs and opening the tray. Moreover, the tray doesn't rotate or come out all the way, so it is very difficult to access the back two discs. More importantly, two units have failed on me (stopped responding to commands altogether) after a couple of weeks. I have had to send both units back to the distributor full of CDs/DVDs. This is a piece of junk!

I have had the same problem - several DVDs freezing and you have to disconnect from mains to recover and restart.

Not recommended

I had the same issue of the unit freezing when trying to play the new talking Heads DVD-audio discs. Yamaha will send you a refurbished unit if you pay to ship yours out to them, but they admit that won't solve the problem which appears to be firmware related. Yamaha offered no other solutions. Further online research showed people having the same lockup issue with Neil Young DVD's from 2004. Shame on Yamaha for not making good on this

I have had this for over a year now, and have not had any major problems. Yes, I agree it can be a little slow to respond at times. But for a lower priced changer that plays so many formats, it is great. I never, during the last year, had any dvds freeze up on me until this past week when I too purchased one of the Talking Heads Dualdiscs. But, after reading online about others having this problem, I cannot blame it on the player. It is the Dualdiscs themselves, they are having problems with; and the manufacturers have said as much themselves. I burned a copy of the dvd side of it, and it plays fine. So, while this player may not be absolutely perfect, it cannot be blamed for things that are not its fault.
