Yamaha DV-C6760 five-disc DVD/SACD changer

Date Published: 1/9/08

The Yamaha DV-C6760 might appear to be a standard five-disc DVD changer, but it proves to be so much more. Available in either black or silver (as model DV-C6760 SL), the DV-C6760 offers superior video and audio performance. For those with a digital TV, the DV-C6760 will deliver optimum picture quality via Yamaha's Intelligent progressive component video output. Images are impressive in both definition and color accuracy. Analog television users will not be disappointed, as the DV-C6760 also provides interlaced output.

The unit is a little slow to power on, but once it's up and running it performs very well. The changer operates quietly, and the four non-playing discs can be swapped while the fifth continues to spin, keeping the entertainment rolling without interruption. Yamaha has included a disc stabilization system and a shockproof memory circuit with the DV-C6760, so discs remain running smoothly without any sudden disruption. The unit's laser pickup has independent heads to provide high performance from any compatible media, including formats such as DVD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW, SVCD, and VCD.

Yamaha is known for high-quality audio performance, and the DV-C6760 is no exception. The unit offers playback of SACD as well as compatibility with MP3 and WMA digital audio files. Dolby Digital and DTS surround sound signals can be routed through the changer's optical or coaxial digital audio outputs for connection to a full-featured A/V receiver. The DV-C6760 also has a Virtual Surround Sound function that replicates 5.1 sound over a twin stereo speaker setup. The DV-C6760 can be used to create digital slideshows from discs loaded with JPEG digital images and is also compatible with MPEG and DivX media.

A host of playback options round out an impressive feature set on this DVD changer. The DV-C6760 offers parental controls, a four-step multiple zoom, and single-frame advance, but it is the excellent audio and video performance that really make this changer stand out.
