Design Highlights
The DV-H500 reflects TEAC’s compact-separates approach from the late 1990s and early 2000s: smaller than full-width hi-fi, but still built as a separate component rather than part of an all-in-one system. This makes it especially useful for completing a matching TEAC H500 stack.
Its connection options are broader than many simple DVD players. Alongside standard analogue stereo output, the DV-H500 provides digital audio outputs and multi-channel analogue connections, allowing it to be used either as a straightforward stereo disc player or as part of a compatible home-cinema system.
For buyers using older displays or AV equipment, the inclusion of composite, S-Video and European SCART outputs can be useful. For audio use, the optical and coaxial digital outputs also allow the player to feed an external DAC or digital input where required.
