DVD-1000

This item has been discontinued or updated and may or may not still be available at your local dealer.

The DVD-1000 plays the just introduced Digital Versatile Discs (DVD), Video CD's, and conventional Compact Discs. For the first time movies can be seen at home with digital picture as well as sound. In all formats, the new format delivers better performance specifications than the formats previously available.

The high performance laser pick-up focuses independently to provide top-quality Video CD, Audio CD, and DVD performance.

When the director has provided multiple angles or shots of a particular scene, the DVD-1000 allows the viewer to select which angle is actually screened.

The DVD-1000 can handle soundtracks in up to 8 languages and provide subtitles for 32 languages.

Video specifications include MPEG-2 video with greater than 500 lines of horizontal resolution and luminance and signal-to-noise ratio of 65 dB.

The DVD-1000's built-in Dolby Digital decoder means that you don't need a Dolby Digital amp, receiver or separate decoder. Used with a Yamaha Dolby Digital ready receiver, or one from another manufacturer, or Yamaha's DSP-E492, this DVD player will provide the most dramatic surround sound available today.

Audio features include optical digital and analog outputs for the Dolby Digital 5.1 channel format and PCM with 48 kHz sampling and 20-bit resolution. A second analog output provides two channel PCM with up to 96 kHz sampling and 20-bit resolution. Specifications include frequency range from 4 to 44,000 Hz, signal-to-noise ratio of 106 dB, dynamic range of 106 dB, and total harmonic distortion of 0.003%.

Control and operation is easy with the DVD-1000's well designed remote control keypad.
