TITLE:

"AMC
DVD7 DVD Player & R9 AV Receiver"
|
|
BRIEF:
|
"AMC importer
Hi-Fi and Video Marketing has managed something of a coup with
this pair. Normally, the two would retail for well over two
thousand dollars (see panel) but if you purchase them as a pair,
you can expect to pay just $1999."
Equipment
"The receiver
has a sufficient number of inputs to suit just about anyone. ...
Two optional and two coaxial digital inputs are provided and
these can be assigned via the set-up menu to the CD, DVD or VCR2
inputs. All 5.1-channel inputs you'll ever need are also
on-board."
"The DVD7 is
well-made and also well fitted-out, with optical and coaxial
digital outputs, twin analog outputs, and composite, S-Video and
component video outputs. The front panel is a joy, because of a
joystick that enables you to access all the DVD7's features.
Better still, the on-screen menuing system is so good that even
first-time DVDers won't need to use the manual."
Performance
"The
performance of the DVD7 was very, very good. Track/chapter
access was blindingly fast --- in fact switching from any mode
to any other was blindingly fast. AMC must have the DVD7 on
steroids! Picture quality was impressive in all modes, with
super-crisp resolution that's as sharp as a tack, but it was the
video quality in the special play mode that blew us away."
