Disc Formats
DivX Playback
DivX is the video compression codec developed by DivX Networks and based on the MPEG-4 compression format. Its balance of high video quality and low bit rate has made it very popular and quickly established it as the best home video format thus far. The ability to play it on newer DVD models continues to add to its popularity as DivX Networks advances its support to many new household products. This compression technology has the potential for expanding the ways we view video media in much the way MP3 has given us many new ways to listen to music.DVD-Audio / Super Audio CD Ready
DVD-Audio is an extension of the highly popular DVD format, distinguished by its capability to deliver high quality multi-channel audio capability previously unavailable in traditional packaged audio media.Super Audio CD
DVD Players that support Super Audio CD use a technology called Direct Stream Digital (DSD) to convert music into a digital signal that can be stored on a disc. Compared to the traditional PCM method (the technology used for CD), DSD offers a much higher resolution by following more closely the original waveform of music. With a frequency response of over 100kHz and a dynamic range over 120dB across the audible frequency range – some 64 times higher resolution then CD - Super Audio CD offers music reproduction that reveals details you just can’t hear on a normal CD.Video CD
DVD Players equipped with Video CD capabilities will be able to play video and sound media that has been compressed together using the MPEG 1 standard, and recorded onto a CD disc.CD Digital Video

We're using DVDs from several DVD regions, including Japan, Europe and US. I knew that multi-systems were available and I researched your company's reputation. I'm very pleased with the Yamaha C950 Zone Free DVD player and purchased this product over other brands because it had the full package - the 5-CD changer and its up convert. I would recommend this product for its full package."

We purchased the Yamaha DVD S657 Region Free DVD player to help us play DVDs from Hong Kong or Region 4. Using the region free player is easy and no different than using a regular DVD player. I would recommend this product to others."

Friends of mine recommended that I buy a Region Free DVD player, since I like watching movies like the Six Million Dollar Man that can't be found in the U.S. I've watched a few Region 4 DVDs on the Yamaha Region Free S657 DVD player which was easy to use and set up."
