Manufacturer's Description

High Sound and Picture Quality
Noise shaped Video(TM) and DCDi Progressive Scanning
This technology, from Analog Devices, uses oversampling and advanced techniques such as multi-bit sigma-delta processing and bit-shuffling to improve converter performance by moving converter noise to an area of the spectrum where it can be removed by an analog filter. This improves the accuracy of signal representation, allowing images to be displayed at much higher resolutions.

Other advanced technologies used to maximize image quality are Faroudja DCDi Processing, Motion Adaptive Noise Reduction, Cross Color Supression, Aspect Ratio Conversion and TrueLife Enhancer.

216 MHz/12-Bit Video DAC
This new high performance video DAC ensures superior image quality with all video sources.

High Sound Quality
Exceptionally Good sound Quality
This model delivers sound quality that is superior even to some more expensive players. It uses a high performance 192kHz/24-bit audio DACs.

Audio Direct Mode
Selecting the Audio Direct mode cuts the video circuitry out of the signal path, so there is no chance of it affecting the sound quality. The front panel illumination is also turned off to prevent noise interference from the LCD.

Advanced Features
Bass Management
This player provides Bass Management processing and a subwoofer/bass management output terminal. Bass management is important for DVD Audio and Super Audio CD multichannel playback, as it properly routes the bass frequencies for best performance from a multi-speaker home theater system. With normal 2-channel (stereo) CDs, the bass frequencies are routed to the subwoofer, so you can enjoy 2.1 channel sound with more powerful bass.

RS-232C Interface
An RS-232C interface is provided so this player can be controlled via computer in a custom installation.

On-Screen Display with GUI (Graphical User Interface)
This model makes operation extremely simple by displaying a variety of clearly understandable GUI menus right on the TV or monitor screen. It's easy to select and adjust any desired function with the remote control.

Three Wide Screen Modes
Three modes can be selected for optimum viewing on widescreen monitors via HDMI output: Non-Linear Stretch, Pillar Box and Zoom. Non-Linear Stretch helps minimize distortion of a 4:3 picture by trimming the top and bottom to make it closer to a 16:9 picture.

HDMI
High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) is the first and only digital interface to combine uncompressed high-definition video, multi-channel audio and intelligent format and command data in a single digital interface. HDMI switching, providing the most advanced method of delivering high quality video signals to a home theater system to enable the reproduction of DVD and satellite TV sources with HD quality. HDMI can also send the digital audio signals from sources such as DVD Audio, CD, Dolby Digital and DTS to provide simple components connections.

DVD-Audio / Super Audio CD Ready
DVD-Audio is an extension of the highly popular DVD format, distinguished by its capability to deliver high quality multi-channel audio capability previously unavailable in traditional packaged audio media.

Super Audio CD
DVD Players that support Super Audio CD use a technology called Direct Stream Digital (DSD) to convert music into a digital signal that can be stored on a disc. Compared to the traditional PCM method (the technology used for CD), DSD offers a much higher resolution by following more closely the original waveform of music. With a frequency response of over 100kHz and a dynamic range over 120dB across the audible frequency range - some 64 times higher resolution then CD - Super Audio CD offers music reproduction that reveals details you just can`t hear on a normal CD.

DCDi TM (Directional Correlational Deinterlacing)
Invented and patented by Faroudja, Directional Correlational De interlacing (DCDi), virtually alleviates jagged oblique lines that appear when standard interlaced video is viewed on progressive scan displays, enabling the reproduction of beautiful, natural-looking moving images.

NSV
This technology, from Analog Devices, uses oversampling and advanced techniques such as multi-bit sigma-delta processing and bitshuffling to improve converter performance by moving converter noise to an area of the spectrum where it can be removed by an analog filter. This improves the accuracy of signal representation, allowing images to be displayed at much higher resolutions.

Dolby Digital
The most popular 5.1-channel home theater sound system. An improvement over Dolby Pro-Logic in that it offers: 1) Full frequency response in all channels (3Hz — 20kHz), 2) discrete surround channels, and 3) a separate track for bass only, called the Low Frequency Effects channel.

DTS Digital Surround
The basic DTS 5.1 channel sound format. Uses a higher data rate than Dolby Digital.

DivX
DivX is the video compression codec developed by DivX Networks and based on the MPEG-4 compression format. Its balance of high video quality and low bit rate has made it very popular and quickly established it as the best home video format thus far. The ability to play it on newer DVD models continues to add to its popularity as DivX Networks advances its support to many new household products. This compression technology has the potential for expanding the ways we view video media in much the way MP3 has given us many new ways to listen to music.

Video CD
DVD Players equipped with Video CD capabilities will be able to play video and sound media that has been compressed together using the MPEG 1 standard, and recorded onto a CD disc.

CD Digital Video
DVD Players equipped with CD Digital Video capabilities will be able to play video and sound media that has been compressed together and recorded onto a CD disc.

I use this strictly for cd's and I am amazed at the sound quality. Additionally, one of my cd skipped through 2-3 songs on my old cd player, but not anymore! I would highly recommend this for music (and movies). I am completely impressed by Yamaha!

A QUALITY DVD PLAYER

Bottom Line:

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

THIS DVD PLAYER HAS A QUALITY APPEARANCE IN ITS BUILD AND STYLISH DESIGN, AND, SO FAR, ITS DEPENDABLE AND CONSISTENT PERFORMANCE, ITS EASE OF USE, AND VERY GOOD IMAGE AND AUDIO PRODUCTION. MY OLDER MODEL ANALOGUE TV ONLY ACCEPTS COMPOSITE CABLES, SO I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO USE AND EXPERIENCE THE DVD PLAYER'S MORE ADVANCED AUDIO AND VIDEO FEATURES. CONNECTED THROUGH MY STEREO AMPLIFIER AND SPEAKER SYSTEM, I HAVE BEEN VERY PLEASED WITH ITS PERFORMANCE[...]

Superior Audio and amp; Video Performance

By DJ Red

from Clearwater, FL on 9/6/2009

Pros:

High Quality Picture, Easy To Use, Attractive Design

Best Uses:

Critical Listening

Describe Yourself:

Bottom Line:

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

After owning several DVD and amp; CD decks over the years, I have pretty much seen and heard it all. This Yamaha DVD-S1700 is by far the best unit for the money. Even at full list price, it out-performs all within its price range. I had owned the legendary Yamaha CDC-845 in the late 90's and thought it was the ultimate CD player, until I heard this! It rivals the 845 in audio quality and has the added benefit of having the state-of-the-art video DAC on the DVD end for the best picture you can get from a DVD. Honestly people, you can't lose with this Yamaha. It is truly one of the best Yamaha has built in a long time! Get it now before they go the way of the 845...
