universal player? not!.......2007-05-08

Yamaha touts this as a universal player however it has a very hard time tracking dvd-rs, SACD and other formats. I hope yamaha has worked out the bugs on the newer dvd-s2700. by the way, my player is back at the repair shop for the 4th time in 3 months. let's hope Yamaha corrects this situation

Run away from this unit.......2007-04-01

I had the DVD-2300 unit which preceeded this unit and found the picture and sound quality excellent. Based on this experience I purchased the 2500 without a real review or test drive... Big mistake.

$39 DVD players track discs better... You do have time to make popcorn while the unit attempts to recognize a disc.

Picture quality good but not outstanding... Audio was excellent. Sync problems... How could Yamaha release a dog like this to the market.

Yamaha will never get my money again... Total junk.

Has Tracking Problem.......2006-12-30

I just bought Yamaha player for Xmas.
It has great sound quality.
However, it fails to track some (not all) CDs and makes loud noise as laser pick-up is trying to adjust itself.
As the other review indicates, this problem is worse at the beginning of discs and improves for later tracks.
Have to take it factory service.
Disappointed.

Audio not sync'd to Video.......2006-12-28

I've owned a DVD S2500 since July. Sometime within the last two months the audio and video on commercial DVDs have gone out of sync. This is most noticeble at the start of a disk, but seems to improve later. I don't think that this happened when the player was brand new. I use the HDMI output to a Denon receiver. Looks like I will have to return the player for factory service. I'd be interested to know if anyone else has experienced this problem.

Unreliable performance.......2006-06-02

I bought the unit less than a year ago [...]. Right from the beginning it had trouble recognizing different discs and would seize when switching between CD and DVD-A for example. The video and sonic performance of the unit are excellent when it is working.
Today I tried to open the disc tray and it wouldn't open. I disconnected the power cable to "reset" the player as per the manufacturers instructions but I am getting no response. I have a ten year old Sony DVP 7700 that has given me zero problems. The Yamaha is made in China and considering that it is their "flagship" player I expected better. Hopefully it is under warranty.
