5.0 out of 5 stars Sounds like the other reviewer has a broken unit..., July 2, 2007

This review is from: Yamaha DVD-S2700BL Single Disc DVD Player, Black (Electronics)

I've been using Amazon for years, but this is my first review. I just think it's a shame to give this DVD player a 1 star!

I owned the previous generation of this player, which was no good. It was SUPER slow to load, etc. Thankfully, it broke, and the A/V installers replaced it (as it was under warranty) with this model.

I haven't had it for very long, but I love it. It's solid, fast to load discs (for a universal player!), very nice and clean looking, responsive, and the picture is fantastic. FYI, my screen is a 42" Fujitsu plasma, purchased last year. Also, it is dead-silent when playing, unlike, for example, a Marantz DVD player I owned which you could hear from the sofa if the volume wasn't load enough!. Thus the reason I think the other reviewers unit is broken. NOTE: I just put in a disk. If you put you ear against the unit, you can head a rapid tic-tic-tic sound when playing--as you can from all cd/dvd players--but from 6" away, nothing.

Also, it sounds like the other reviewer uses the player differently that I do. I pretty much play rented DVD movies with it, I don't burn disks, etc.

Also, I am going to buy a second player for another room today, hooking it up to a projector.

Having said all that, the Denon DVD-2930CI also gets great reviews, and is in this price range. I suspect the audio on the Yamaha is better, though.

Just offering a second opinion!

When I got it , it just came out and was probably closer to $700. It is one of the best Yamaha ever made and intensely beautiful. The first picture is wrong, it is the one in the 2nd picture! I love it and use it all the time, it has held up perfect for the past 2-3 years!

4.0 out of 5 stars Cheapest DVD player with Faroudja DCDi processing, August 15, 2009

I upgraded from the previous model since I had just purchased an HD plasma monitor. The primary reason for purchasing these Yamaha models was the Faroudja DCDi processing which can only be found in higher end brands costing significantly more. The only complaint I have with this upgraded model is the remote. It does not have the functions of the previous model so we are actually using the older model's remote! (Since this model is no longer available, I am not going into details. Thanks!)
