Yamaha DV-S5950BL - Upconvert DVD Player with HDMI Interface
http://www.yamaha.com/yec/products/productdetail.html?CNTID=451774&CTID=5001800
DivX Ultra certified; plays all versions of DivX video (including DivX 6) with enhanced playback of DivX media files and the DivX media format.
I have just purchased one of these, as I had been given a gift certificate for Best Buy, for $100. and Spent a bit more then I wanted, but so far I am very pleased.
Best buy is $179.
JR is $149.
It has read every DVD I have thrown at it.... + or - and Picture with newly purchased DVD's is excellent with progressive scan... viewing in 1080i, passing audio & video via HDMI.
I know I could have purchased a few different brands including the Oppo for a bit more... but Im not running 1080p on my 50" 9UK. But I think I got what I wanted... I use my Modded Xbox to stream movies and music from my servers, but the DVD player was starting to get old and fussy about reading disks, and wasn't a progressive scan unit.
Remote is kinda cheezy, but I'll be programming that into my learning remote..
And Im not a huge fan of the gold led's on the face..
But All in all... So far so good...
Just thought Id toss out some info, as this is a pretty new unit...
