Description:
Conceived as the ultimate optical-disc player, Yamaha's amazingly affordable state-of-the-art DV-S5770 is equipped to make the most of your home entertainment, from ultra-high-resolution audio and video performance to MP3 listening convenience and digital-photo viewing. The unit's dual-format DVD-Audio and SACD playback gives you complete listening freedom where most players make you choose one format over the other. Further, the DV-S5770's progressive-scan video output and DCDi processing optimize the player for use with today's and tomorrow's high-definition and HD-ready TVs. Future-ready, indeed. Other disc formats handled by the player include standard DVD-Video, video CD (VCD), and video-mode DVD+R/RW and DVD-R/RW discs. The unit features 108 MHz/12-bit video D/A conversion for pristine quality in any format, while special technology from Faroudja enhances all incoming interlaced video. Faroudja's DCDi (Directional Correlation Deinterlacing) is a video algorithm designed to eliminate the jagged edges along diagonal image lines resulting from video interpolation. DCDi monitors image edge transitions and fills in the gaps between frames. It's used to upconvert standard definition material (480i, what we have on conventional TV) to enhanced-definition quality (480p, or EDTV). Progressive scanning, referred to as 480p for the number of horizontal lines that compose the video image, creates a picture using twice the scan lines of a conventional DVD picture, giving you higher resolution and sharper images while eliminating nearly all motion artifacts. The DV-S5770 also performs 3:2 pulldown detection. DVD mastering introduces a common distortion when adjusting 24-frames-per-second movies to 30 fps video; reverse 3:2 pulldown digitally corrects this distortion, removing the redundant information to display a film-frame-accurate picture. Audio enhancements consist of an audio-direct switch and CD upsampling playback (to an incredible 1,764 kHz) to give you the best-possible sound quality from your standard audio CDs. MP3 features include the ability to play multisession discs and mixed-format MP3/JPEG CDs. DVD-Audio and SACD media both offer super-high-fidelity sound. DVD-Audio discs provide 192 kHz/24-bit multichannel and stereo sound, high storage capacity, and unique bonus materials not available on regular audio CDs. These discs often have compressed Dolby Digital soundtracks for listening on standard DVD players, but true DVD-A decoding is required for full sonic appreciation. Depending on the disc, Sony's proprietary SACD format provides multichannel and/or stereo sound, often presented in a dual-layer format compatible with both standard CD players (at standard resolution) and SACD-equipped players like the DV-S5770 (for full-resolution playback). As an antipiracy measure, the DV-S5770 performs its own decoding of both DVD-Audio and SACD signals, passing high-resolution analog, not digital, audio to your integrated amplifier or surround receiver. This means you'll need an audio/video receiver with multichannel analog-audio inputs to appreciate multichannel DVD-A and SACD releases. A set of stereo and a set of multichannel analog-audio outputs route audio from DVD-A/SACD media as well as from Dolby Digital- and DTS-encoded DVDs to your A/V receiver. If you're not planning to use the DVD-A/SACD capability for multichannel programming, both Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel surround-sound signals can be routed through the player's digital-audio outputs (one each of RCA coaxial and Toslink optical) for simpler connection with your receiver. Other features include four-step multiple zoom (1x, 2x, 4x, and 8x), corrosion-resistant gold-plated terminals for all pin jacks, auto power off, and a disc lock (child lock) function.
