Yamaha's DV-C6760 is equipped to make the most of your home entertainment--everything from ultra-high-resolution audio and video performance to MP3/WMA listening convenience and digital-photo viewing. The unit's dual-format DVD-Video and SACD playback gives you the best of your movies and music. Further, the DV-C6760's progressive-scan video output and DCDi processing optimize the player for use with today's and tomorrow's high-definition and HD-ready TVs. Future-ready, indeed.

Other disc formats handled by the player include standard DVD-Video, video CD (VCD), and video-mode DVD+R/RW and DVD-R/RW discs. The unit features 108 MHz/12-bit video D/A conversion for pristine quality in any format. Progressive scanning, referred to as 480p for the number of horizontal lines that compose the video image, creates a picture using twice the scan lines of a conventional DVD picture, giving you higher resolution and sharper images while eliminating nearly all motion artifacts.

SACD media offers super high-fidelity sound. Depending on the disc, Sony's proprietary 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 DV-C6760 (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. MP3 features include the ability to play multisession discs and mixed-format MP3/JPEG CDs.

As an anti-piracy measure, the DV-C6760 performs its own decoding of both DVD-Audio and SACD signals, passing high-resolutionanalog, not digital, audio to your integrated amplifier or surround receiver. This means you'll need an audio/video receiver with multichannel analog-audio inputs to appreciate multichannel DVD-A and SACD releases.

A set of stereo and a set of multichannel analog-audio outputs route audio from DVD-A/SACD media as well as from Dolby Digital- and DTS-encoded DVDs to your AV receiver. If you're not planning to use the DVD-A/SACD capability for multichannel programming, both Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel surround-sound signals can be routed through the player's digital-audio outputs (one each of RCA coaxial and Toslink optical) for simpler connection with your receiver.

Other features include 4-step multiple zoom (1x, 2x, 4x and 8x), onscreen menu icons, and 2-channel stereo mixdown for all surround formats (in case you're listening in stereo rather than in surround).
