If you are interested in simple setup but still want all the features of a high end progressive scan DVD player, this is the one you want. Being somewhat of an old-school audiophile, yes I still have a turn table, I was concerned about hooking up my new system. With Yamahas C-950 it couldnt be easier. Plug in an HDMI cord to your receiver or TV and then plug in the power cord and you are ready to get started. Turn on your TV and the 950, select On Screen Menu and away you go. The on-screen menu system is easy to negotiate and allows control of every aspect of user interface you could want. From output mode to speaker size and from sharpness to CD up-sampling rate, the range of controls on this machine are fantastic! The varitey of disc formats accepted by the 950 even impressed my oldest son, probably because he knew what they all were. Even with all the bells and whistles on this unit, my youngest son had no problem negotiating the controls and we were soon watching a new movie. This player promises a lot and delivers it. To make things better, the ease to get it set up and running was truly a treat for this old dog. |
