Vintage Nakamichi DVD-10 Nakamichi does have a house style, one of refinement and subtlety, and their black boxes nearly always look classier than anyone else's.  Equipped with a headphone port that can adjust the volume level. Naturally, the DVD-10 is loaded with features, adding to the basics found on the cheapo machines such niceties as DTS decoding, two levels of zoom, display dimming, a rotary jog control on the machine itself, a headphone socket with separate volume control and the clearest, most comprehensive on-screen menus I've ever seen.  It's worth considering this aspect if, in your move to DVD, you're planning on replacing a CD player with a DVD player .  While the budget DVD decks sound good enough with CD, players like the Nakamichi are more in keeping with what audiophiles expect of CD, and this has been - since the dawn of DVD - a key issue for owners who use their DVD players as much for music as for visuals.  The DVD-10 just happens to be a sweet-sounding CD player, with an extended, clean, sibilance-free top end, transparency almost on a par with more expensive units. Musical Fidelity X-RAY and the sort of openness and detail which seem to be missing with single-laser devices.
