Great DVD Player!,

This review is from: Yamaha DV-S5950BL DVD Player (Electronics)
I recently purchased a 50" plasma TV and wanted better picture from my DVDs. This is it! The picture from this player is so much better than I was getting from my old DVD player. I own DVD players that are S-Video as well as 480 composite video, and neither of them even come close. The only problem I have had is that DVDs that I recorded on my DVD recorder must have a slightly different audio format because they won't play audio over the digital audio output on this unit. I solved that problem though by turning on the HDMI audio output when I am playing these DVDs and it works fine. All in all, a great unit and I got it at a great price as well!

If you are a recent convert to HD as I was you will find this player to your liking. DVD's are sharp and the sound fantastic. And speaking of sound, check out the fact that this deck can play DVD Audio as well as SACD. You're not going to come close to the capabilities of this unit for the price. Terrific deal.
Nice player,

I picked this player up 2nd hand for my bedroom. I'm bit of a Yamaha fanatic and got a good price. I was pleasantly surprised by the player, picture quality was excellent and it integrated perfectly with my Yamaha AV receiver as you would expect.
I also own an OPPO in my main room, it's definitely got the edge but I paid almost 4x the amount... If you want a good quality player for a reasonable price this is a good choice, I've not found any problems.....
