Correct Charles Yamaha Universal players from the S1700/S2700 are no longer made by Philips

75.0.7.96

In Reply to: RE: Yamaha S1500 - Inexpensive for sure as 2nd CD player? posted by Charles Hansen on September 21, 2008 at 13:36:41

Here is the inside of my Yamaha DVD-S1700 which has given me almost 2 years of trouble-free performance. I can not say the same thing for my previous players! It still plays every disc perfectly every single time and only takes seconds to read the TOC.

I bought it because the transport was whisper quiet, and it still is inaudible. I hate it when I hear that whirley-dirley disc spinning sound during quiet moments especially with Classical music. All of my previous units made transport noise, the worst being Toshiba DVD-Audio players.

Anyway I highly recommend the S-1700 which can be got cheap as it has been replaced by the S-1800 which one of the review I've read is even better, I might get an S-1800 as a back up player as soon as it has been out for a while and the price drops.

Just my experiences and opinions, yours may be different,

  Here is the link where a reader discusses his comparisons between the S-1700 and S-1800. This letter was what perked my interested in the S-1800. I love my S-1700 but his writer compare them both as he describes in the letter.

  This is the only real Review I could found for the S-1800, it is not as detailed as I like.

  I did notice while trying to find these again that the S-1800 can be had for $249 which is $200 lower than it's retail price of $450!
