Like the other models in Yamaha's current lineup of DVD players, the DVD-S1500 offers excellent disc compatibility and high-quality video and audio performance. This slimline player can handle just about any disc format out there. In addition to standard movie DVD, the DVD-S1500 is compatible with DVD-R/RW and DVD+R/RW, as well as SVCD and VCD, audio CD, and CD-R/RW, including those encoded with digital audio files or JPEG images. The DVD-S1500 also supports the high-resolution DVD-Audio and SACD formats.

The DVD-S1500 features an Audio Direct function that ensures no interference from the video circuitry is able to affect the quality of the audio output. This is a DVD player geared to audiophiles who want top-quality sound performance in addition to exceptional video.

The DCDi Faroudja output on the DVD-S1500 provides progressive scan for both NTSC and PAL signals. The player offers optical and coaxial digital audio outputs so both Dolby Digital and DTS surround sound signals can be routed to a compatible home theater receiver. The unit has a wide selection of disc playback options, including repeat play, resume play for up to five different discs, and shuffle play.

The on-screen menu makes navigating discs loaded with MP3 files quick and straightforward, and there are several digital audio file playback options. Load a disc of favorite JPEG images, and the DVD-S1500 will create a digital slideshow on the TV screen. The included remote control is similarly easy to navigate. The aluminum front panel lends the DVD-S1500 a distinctive look to match its outstanding audio and video performance.
