Yamaha's DVD salvation
Under a grand makes for a great DVD player by Michael Jones
Yamaha DVD-S510 DVD player. $999 Imagine this: youre a major player in the home theatre electronics market; your receivers and ampliers are regarded by many as the industry standard, yet theres a big problem: your DVD players cost above average. That was the situation that faced Yamaha. Their cheapest DVD player cost almost double the entry-level prices from some other brands. So Yamaha engineered a more affordable DVD player. Its called the DVD-S510. It costs under a grand and its good.
Features As with many DVD players these days, the Yamaha 510 goes with the minimalist approach This is an on the front panel, with only important DVD the barest of player for Yamaha. transport controls and a power button to be found. Fortunately for The remote them, the quality control includes a great many more of the 510 functions and will probably be your matches up. main point of contact with driving the player. On the back are the audio and video outputs. The 510 includes composite, SVideo and component video outputs, offering exibility to go with your TV. There are two sets of audio outputs, which may be of some use with multiroom applications. Both coax and optical digital outputs are provided to output movie soundtracks to your receiver. Picture quality The success of good, affordable DVD
players (such as Pioneers 535) has made life harder for the next rung up in DVD player pricing. Players such as the Yamaha need to show a better picture quality to be taken seriously. Fortunately for the S510 the Yamahas picture beats that of the cheaper player. Theres a sharper, more precise look to images. Plus colours look a little more saturated and realistic. Sound quality Playing CDs via its analog output, the 510 sounds pretty much like most DVD players. It has a smooth sound lacking any sense of harshness. Yet the sound is bereft of any passion or soul, just like most other DVD players. My standard recommendation still applies: if music is important to you, then a separate CD player is a worthwhile investment. Compatibility With the sheer numbers of Zone 1 (USA) DVD discs available in New Zealand, this writer regards it as essential that a DVD player be able to cope
Theres a sharper, more precise look to images. Plus colours look a little more saturated and realistic
with multiple zones. The Yamaha 510 can play all zones and can also cope with the RCE (Regional Code Enhanced) Zone 1 discs that have been released to date. The 510 can also play both CDR and CD-RW discs recorded on a CD Recorder. Given the numbers of CD Recorders and the number of discs used, this is fast becoming a necessity for DVD players. However the 510 cannot cope with mp3 material on CDRs. Conclusion This is an important DVD player for Yamaha. Fortunately for them, the quality of the 510 matches up. Great picture, typical CD sound for a DVD player and the ability to play all zone DVDs and audio CDRs.

Introduction

Entertainment for the new millennium
Video was never like this before! Digital video discs provide perfect digital, studio-quality pictures; three dimensional digital, multi-channel audio; story sequences screened from your choice of camera angle; sound tracks in as many as eight languages; and up to 32 subtitles (if available on disc). Whether you watch DVD-Video on wide-screen or regular TV, you always see it the way it was meant to be.

Digital video

DVD-Video uses state-of-the-art MPEG2 data compression technology to register an entire movie on a single 5-inch disc. DVDs variable bitrate compression, running at up to 9.8 Mbits/ second, captures even the most complex pictures in their original quality. The crystal-clear digital pictures have a horizontal resolution of over 500 lines, with 720 pixels (picture elements) to each line. This resolution is more than double that of VHS, superior to Laser Disc, and entirely comparable with digital masters made in recording studios. DVD-Video discs conform to either the PAL or NTSC video standard. This player can play both PAL and NTSC discs, presenting them in the best possible way on your multistandard TV screen. As the universal video system of the future, DVD-Video offers optimal pictures on any TV screen.

You will recognize DVD-Video discs by the logo shown on left. Depending on the material on the disc (a movie, video clips, a drama series, etc.) the disc may have one or more Titles. Each Title may have one or more Chapters. To make playback easy and convenient, your player lets you select Titles and playback Chapters.

Video CD

You will recognize Video CDs by the logo shown at left. Depending on the material on the disc (a movie, video clips, a drama series, etc.) the disc may have one or more tracks. Tracks may have one or more indexes, as indicated on the disc case. To make playback easy and convenient, your player lets you select tracks and indexes.

Super VCD

Your DVD-Video player will play digital video discs conforming to the universal DVD-Video standard. With it, you will be able to enjoy full-length movies with true cinema picture quality, as well as stereo or multi-channel sound (depending on the disc and your playback setup). The unique features of DVD-Video, such as selection of sound track, subtitle languages and different camera angles (again depending on the disc), are all included. Whats more, Child Lock lets you decide which discs your children will be able to see. In addition to DVD-Video discs, you will be able to play all Video CDs and Audio CDs (including finalized CD Recordable and CD Rewritable). You will find the On-Screen Display, player display, and remote control make the player easy to use. This manual provides all the information you will need, so read on!
SVCD discs based on the Super VCD IO Standard based on the Standard of the Electronics Industry of the Peoples Republic of China.

Audio CD

Audio CDs contain music tracks only. You will recognize Audio CDs by their logo which is shown at left. You can play them in conventional style through a stereo system, using the keys on the remote control and/or front panel, or via the TV using the On-Screen Display (OSD).
