DVD-S700

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

The DVD-S700 plays the recently introduced DVD-Video format, Video CDs, and conventional Compact Discs. For the first time movies can be seen at home with digital picture as well as sound. This second generation player has a built-in Dolby Digital decoder and is compatible with the new DTS 5.1 channel audio format (U.S. Model Only)

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-S700 allows the viewer to select which angle is actually screened. Up to 9 different angles can be accommodated.

The DVD-S700 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 ration of 65 dB.

The DVD-S-700'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 sound available today.

The new DVD-S700 is a second generation player which is capable of passing the 5.1 channel DTS signal from CD or DVD. A DTS decoder, either outboard or in the receiver or amplifier is required to realize the DTS signal.

96 kHz/24-bit compatible audio digital-to-analog conversion and 10-bit video D/A conversion assure that the DVD-S700 delivers superior performance.

The DVD-S700 can be used in the most sophisticated home theater or A/V systems. It features two composite video outputs, an S-Video output, and a Component Video output.

Control and operation is easy with the DVD-S700's well designed remote control keypad.
