Amazon.com Product Description
The Yamaha MCR-E810 mini-system is a great choice for smaller living rooms with its compact profile and 120 watts of total power (60 watts x 2 channels). It also offers two discrete amps and speakers made of finely tuned cabinets and equipped with carefully selected units. It has a single-disc DVD/CD player that's compatible with a good assortment of formats, including DVD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW, VCD, and CD-R/RW discs as well as MP3, WMA, JPEG, and DivX digital files. In addition to utilizing a Direct PLL IF Count Synthesizer Tuning system, this model also makes station selection easy. You can preset as many as 40 stations for instant one-touch tuning, and with each one the tuning mode (auto or manual) is also memorized. You can also operate an iPod via the MCR-E810's remote unit with the aid of the receiver's display when using the (optional) Universal Dock. Its discrete construction precisely places each carefully selected part without dependency on IC chips. The amplifier uses all analog circuits, including the volume section. While it is compact, it includes high sound quality measures scrupulously designed in every detail: a large power supply transformer, high sound quality parts groups (including new capacitors), a high stiffness body with an octagonal section that is resistant to resonance, and large speaker terminals compatible with banana plugs. The receiver's subwoofer out terminal outputs bass frequencies so you can connect a subwoofer. Adding a subwoofer to your system pays big dividends: not only do you get bigger and better bass sound, but the overall sound field has much greater depth and presence. It also includes a tape/MiniDisc input/output as well as an auxiliary input. The DVD player provides component, composite, and S-Video outputs, as well as digital optical and coaxial audio outputs. The speaker cabinets are built with internal crossbracing offering a unique wedge structure.This type of cross-braced structure is used in top class speakers and Yamaha engineers are able to make the most of its advantages. It produces a tighter sound and the increased strength cuts down unwanted vibration. And they have the same luxurious and environmentally friendly finish as Yamaha's grand pianos. Tech Talk
DivX is a compressed digital video format (like MP3) that's based on the MPEG-4 video compression standard. It can reduce the video from a DVD (MPEG-2) to around 10 percent of its original size while still retaining good video and audio quality, enabling you to store several two-hour length movies on burned DVD media. What's in the Box
Receiver/DVD player, two speakers, speaker cable, remote control (with batteries), AM/FM antennas, printed operating instructions

 best micro system with sound that belies its status as such November 23, 2008
One reviewer compared the quality of the speakers to NS-10s (studio caliber playback monitors). They're pretty close. I'm thoroughly happy with this system. Don't kid yourself, though, in that if your room is of decent size, you really do need to add a subwoofer. Just make sure the sub you get isn't too powerful for the system. I recommend the Yamaha SW216. I figured I had Yamaha components, so I might as well get a Yamaha subwoofer as well. It's a total of 100 watts, which makes sense in compatibility because the E810SL is 65 watts per channel (130 total), and I never turn the sub up more than a 1/3rd of the way to get my added bass. It's not "boomy" but just accentuates and delivers the lows as it should. I got it online at amazon for $89.00 from JR Computer World or something like that.
The cost of the MCR-E810SL is higher, but worth it, even with the added expense of a sub-woofer. The E810SL basically has higher end, bigger component quality but in a compact size. No eq on the tuner, but the lack of it doesn't bother me. Easy hook-up; simple user friendly controls on the tuner. Subwoofer out on the back of the tuner; tons of features for additional hook-ups. If you're going to get a mini-DVD system, this is the way to go if you really care about sound quality relative to music. I'm very picky about sound and this is probably the only mini-system that hasn't disappointed me. Relative to music, its deadly accurate and warm sound is astonishing for a system in this price range. I never crank up the system more than a 1/3rd of the way; and keep in mind I have a good sized living room. Believe me when I say that it's just fine for DVD or tv sound as well. I would get this mini-DVD system any day over a 2.1 simulated surround sound type system.
 not bad sound, but poor mechanism November 15, 2008

First, I need to say that the quality of the sound produced from this system is quite good for its price. If you are only looking for sound, you may like this machine.
However, everything else is wrong with this product.
First, even if I want to turn on the radio, the CD/DVD player automatically starts working. I often find the CD/DVD player working and playing (without producing sound) while I am listening to the radio. It is quite irritating.
Second, the remote controller sometimes does not work. As someone else pointed out in the review, if the controller does not work when I am using CD/DVD function, I first need to change the mode into something else (say, radio) and then go back to CD/DVD. It is quite irritating.
Third, if I, for example, want to play track 6 of a CD, I need to press 06 on the controller. (It applies to any single digit track.) So, if I mistakenly press 6 on my controller without first pressing 0, the controller will assume that I am trying to play track sixty-whatever. The only way I know to recover from that situation is to go to radio mode (or any other mode) and come back to CD/DVD mode, and press 06. It is quite irritating.
Finally, the speed of the starting up of the CD/DVD player is quite slow. If I turn on the power, it will take 32 seconds for this player to start playing a CD. It is quite irritating.
Among the problems that I listed, the most irritating function of this product is that it automatically starts playing CD/DVD whenever I turn on the power.
I seriously regret buying this product.
Great sound for a small system November 12, 2008
Great sound for such a small system. We totally love the rich sound it gives and ability to add on to this unit with more speakers as well as an mp3 player. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a system that takes up little space for such wonderful sound. Good job, Yamaha!!!!
 Nice sound, cryptic operation November 7, 2008

Yamaha MCR-E810SL DVD Mini System looked like a good bet. I listened to it at a local stereo store and was impressed by the sound. I should have played with the controls however & am now paying the price. My wife hates it because she does not understand how it works. My best friend who is a stereo nut likes the sound but was also turned off by the control issues. I'd return it but I feel I've had it too long to justify a return. It does sound nice but one should be able to use it easily & not have to open a manual to change the radio station.
Incredible System November 3, 2008
I had been in search of a system (or some kind of configuration) that would work for my application, which was playing high-fidelity music from my Mac, and wow, this IS IT. By the end of my search I had decided to go with a mini system, and after researching the Onkyo and Denon options, I decided to go with the Yamaha. And I've got to say, I'm so glad I went with the Yamaha...all the rest had one negative or another, but this Yamaha has it all - incredible clear and precise sound, great bass performance without a sub, but incredible with one, peerless aesthetic fit and finish, and marvelous build quality. Just in the weight of the amp/receiver, one can feel the heft of Yamaha quality. And the speakers - heavy, meticulously crafted, and the finish, wow, if you sat it on top of a Yamaha grand piano, it would disappear. Other pluses: subwoofer out (obviously), plenty of inputs, simple and capable remote, excellent iPod compatibility (with purchase of the dock, which is reasonably priced), and Yamaha's PureDirect feature, which is present on the company's high-end hi-fi amps and receivers, and allows the input signal to bypass all the internal processing of the receiver. This is excellent if you are using, for example, an SACD player, and you want to hear the most direct, unencumbered sound that can be output by the player. The DVD/CD also seems very capable, admittedly not for today's HD applications, but with progressive scanning and component video output it ought to get by quite well in an office type of setup. And there are little details I appreciate as well; for example, on the remote, there are dedicated input buttons, for CD, tuner, aux, etc. rather than one input button that forces you to scroll through all the inputs to get to the one you want. Overall, I would say I am extremely pleased with this system - there's nothing mini about its power output or capability, only its size.
