Yamaha DV-C6860BL DVD Changer Reviews
It does have a coaxial digital out jack which is the next best cable. It does play burnt cds. I gave this dvd player four stars since it does not have an optical digital out jack. This is the superior cable for the audio signal. The main reason I purchased thid player is because I wanted it to match my Yamaha receiver. Other than that this is a great five disk dvd/cd player for under $200.
This DVD Changer is a PIECE OF GARBAGE. Unfortunately the scene that froze had a loud noise at that point so instead of just a muted picture, I had to deal with a sustained squeal until I unplugged the DVD Changer. I had to unplug it just to turn it off when the picture froze on a scene. I have had it for only TWO WEEKS and it has siezed up on me FOUR TIMES.
I'm stoked. seems like a good buy but I've only used it for a day so far. It's true, it may say region 1 but put in the code while the tray is open press 99990 and wait for 5 seconds "it should say all region" or something like that. Yamaha is a quality name so it should live up to the rep. your ready to go.
Ever since I discovered this player, I have been highly impressed with how much it met both my normal and oddball demands. Now you can play any kind of optical disc without thinking about it. I discovered this by reauthoring DVDs without any of their menus using DVD Shrink Version 3.2. For those titles which are currently only available on CD and possibly will never be released on DVD-AUDIO and/or SACD, this option converts standard CDs to the quality of DVD-AUDIO. Make sure there are no discs loaded. However, because of this player's bicompatibility with both color systems, I have the freedom to choose and purchase whatever editions are the best. On both ends of the spectrum, if the audio pitch is corrected without changing the audio speed to keep the picture and sound in synch, a subaudible breaking-up effect may be noticed as the result of slight artifacts from slightly bending or stretching the pitch in the conversion process. If Yamaha could do a minor revision to the firmware which engages that same menu bipass as when repeating a single DVD, the machine would change DVDs automatically.
The only little flaw with this player's firmware is that when the 'All Discs' repeat mode is selected, when playing DVDs, after playing through all the titles, instead of moving on to the next disc, it returns to the home menu. As a student of Musical Theatre, Opera, Classical vocal and choral literature, and Jazz and Classical piano, 192-KHz, 24-Bit conversion is of great importance to me. On the Musical Theatre, Opera, and choral side of things, this player is capable of playing both NTSC (North American) and PAL (European) DVDs on corresponding as well as opposite TVs. For certain titles in these genres, the North American editions are either four percent slower in tempo and picture movement and flatter in pitch than the European editions due to the method of PAL-to-NTSC conversion used by the distributors of such DVDs, or do not include as many bonus features as their original European counterparts.
Sometimes, it can be the other way around, except the European editions might be four percent faster and sharper and have less bonus material than their original North American counterparts. In conclusion, if you are looking for a DVD player with high video compatibility*, you have come to the right place. Close the tray. Although it is not in the manual, this player can be made multi-region compatible including RCE DVDs. Wait for the 'Region 0' message to disappear.
*Others have reported problems playing 'Dual Discs'a type of disc which includes DVD-VIDEO on one side or layer, and CD DIGITAL AUDIO on another, also known as 'Hybrids.' However, big names, such as Panasonic, Sony, and Pioneer, do not recommend using these discs in their players. One thing that sets this player apart from the other manufacturers' players is Yamaha's CD UpSampling feature. Turn on the DVD player. With the tray open, using its supplied remote control, slowly press 99990.
