Product Description

The DVD-S1500 is compatible with both DVD-Audio and Super Audio CD. These multi-channel music formats provide a surround sound music experience that is much more natural and lifelike than normal stereo. It delivers sound quality that is superior even to some more expensive players for a number of reasons. It uses high performance 192kHz/24-bit audio DACs for all channels. The Super Audio CD and DVD-Audio circuits are completely independent and optimized for each format (the Super Audio CD circuit is extremely simple and straight). This guarantees highest quality with both types of disc (format selection is provided). An Audio Direct can be selected to ensure that no interference from the video circuitry can affect the sound.With versatile format and disc compatibility, the DVD-S1500 will play almost any type of disc you are likely to have: Super Audio CD, DVD-Audio/Video, DVD+R/+RW, DVD+R/RW, Audio CD, CD-R/RW, SVCD and VCD discs, as well as disc with MP3 (multisession) and JPEG (multisession) files.The DVD-S1500 provides an on-screen display with clearly understandable On-Screen Menu Icons. It's easy to select and adjust and desired function with the remote control.The DVD-S1500 gives you numerous ways to enjoy your discs. You can program tracks in the order you want, use Shuffle Play to play them randomly, repeat them in a variety of ways, freeze any frame, and zoom the images to three different sizes. There's also a Resume Play mode with a 5-disc memory.

The factory-reconditioned DVD-S1500 is compatible with both DVD-Audio and Super Audio CD. These multi-channel music formats provide a surround sound music experience that is much more natural and lifelike than normal stereo. It delivers sound quality that is superior even to some more expensive players for a number of reasons. It uses high performance 192kHz/24-bit audio DACs for all channels.

This guarantees highest quality with both types of disc (format selection is provided). An Audio Direct can be selected to ensure that no interference from the video circuitry can affect the sound.

With versatile format and disc compatibility, the DVD-S1500 will play almost any type of disc you are likely to have: Super Audio CD, DVD-Audio/Video, DVD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW, Audio CD, CD-R/RW, SVCD and VCD discs, as well as disc with MP3 (multisession) and JPEG (multisession) files.

SACD media offers super high-fidelity sound. Depending on the disc, the SACD format provides multichannel and/or stereo sound, often presented in a dual-layer format compatible with both standard CD players (at standard resolution) and SACD-equipped players like the DVD-S1500 (for full-resolution playback). Audio enhancements consist of an audio-direct switch and CD upsampling playback (to an incredible 1,764 kHz) to give you the best-possible sound quality from your standard audio CDs.

The DVD-S1500 features Faroudja's Emmy award-winning DCDi deinterlacing and scaling technology to up-convert standard video in DVDs to HD resolutions. DCDi (Directional Correlational Deinterlacing) technology eliminates the jagginess that conventional upconverters introduced to diagonal edges in video. FaroudjaÕs unique DCDi algorithm identifies all the moving edges in a scene and adjusts the angle of interpolation at each pixel so that the interpolation always follows the edge instead of crossing it, eliminating staircasing or jagged edge artifacts.

The DVD-S1500 provides an on-screen display with clearly understandable On-Screen Menu Icons. It's easy to select and adjust and desired function with the remote control. It also gives you numerous ways to enjoy your discs. You can program tracks in the order you want, use Shuffle Play to play them randomly, repeat them in a variety of ways, freeze any frame, and zoom the images to three different sizes. There's also a Resume Play mode with a 5-disc memory.

5 out of 5 stars SACD player.......2007-03-24

It works fine. I got it for SACD's and our old CD player was dying.

2 out of 5 stars Sounds better than it looks.......2007-03-15

Has excellent audio performance, but has a problem reading one of my dvd audio disks. No usable fluorescent front- panel display to think of. The remote lacks separate ff and chapter forward buttons, making the interface very frustrating at times. Why couldn't they include this minimal expense item?

This unit has an inexcusably noisy transport, and takes forever to start playing a disk.

It cost me over 30 dollars in shipping to get the unit serviced after it froze up. It still would not play the problem dvd audio disk I have.

3 out of 5 stars Yamaha DVDS1500 as a universal audio player.......2007-01-04

I purchased this unit soley to be able to play SACD and perhaps DVS-audio recordings in two channel (plus sub)sound. It works quite well for that. In terms of comparison, I generally use a custom built, tubed CD player for standard discs. The SACD layer of hybrids sounds about as good on the DVDS1500, overall, as the best standard recordings do on my main player--that's pretty darned good, BTW. The standard CD playback truly sucks and I wouldn't use the Yamaha for that purpose. I am quite satisfied with this inexpensive unit, it is and does what I wanted it to be and do.

1 out of 5 stars Eats the DVD.......2006-11-26

DVD got stuck and would not come out!! Same problem as others!! Hope Yamaha recalls it. Over ninety days - not under warranty.

1 out of 5 stars Piece of junk.......2006-11-18

Slow clunky noisy overpriced and broke within one year (and can't get the disk back) Yamaha will not honor warentee . DESPITE THE FACT THAT I BOUGHT IT NEW, read the fine print very carefully. WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER YAMAHA PRODUCT EVER

      5 out of 5 stars Accurate, helpful, and handy.......2007-01-21

      The Nikon D80 is a great but complex camera. After having mine about a month, I'm just beginning to feel comfortable with it, although I've used smaller digital cameras and film SLRs for many years.

      Obviously you can't squeeze a 150-page manual onto both sides of an 8-1/2 x 11 inch sheet, so this Cheat Sheet's role is mainly as a reminder of things you've learned but forgotten, and also as a kind of index when you have to go back to the manual. It basically tells you which control or menu item does what you want to do.

      So the better you know your camera, the more useful this sheet becomes -- for instance, when you've forgotten which sub-sub-menu lets you change the maximum ISO setting or minimum shutter speed in Auto ISO mode ...

      It's easy to read and well-made -- looks like it'll last for years. It's actually more up-to-date than the Nikon manual, since it includes fixes for some manual errors. And I've found NO errors on this sheet, while I've found several dozen in the manual itself.

        Product Description

        Metrobility's "redundant twister" interface provides redundant data paths for path protection and restoration. An essential connectivity tool for high priority and mission-critical applications, it provides fully redundant data paths as well as power supply redundancy, for Ethernet or Fast Ethernet devices. If the primary connection fails due to a cable or hardware failure, the "redundant twister" interface switches the device's traffic to the secondary connections within 200 microseconds.Intelligent "redundant twister" models also deliver Managed Network-on-Demand capability for mission-critical applications. Managed Network-on-Demand allows the "redundant twister" media converter to be configured to operate in either Dynamic Recovery Mode (DRM) to ensure session integrity and increase uptime, or in Network Select Mode (NSM) to redirect traffic and add security through link isolation. And with SONAR, or Switch on No Activity Received, the interface not only monitors for loss of link on the active port, but will also monitor for traffic. With SONAR, if the active port remains idle for a given amount of time (configurable for 2-4 seconds) the resilient technology of the redundant interface will verify activity on the secondary port, and switch traffic to that port once traffic is detected. This prevents a switch or switch port failure from bringing down the network or any part of it.

        Received the paper in good condition; however some of the paper was not sealed (in its original packaging). Don't know if something happened during the packaging process, but I overlooked that and I'd definitely reorder again.
