Yamaha BD-S2900BL Blu-Ray DVD Player

Back in the world of home theater with a detachment of AV-amplifiers magnificent, Yamaha hopes to build on its success release of BD-S2900.
First impressions are quite good: a solid and a nice camera, although he did not produce the same effect as a model Denon or Pioneer at the same level.
Put a Blu-ray-disc with the movie «Transformers», and Yamaha will reveal its main advantage – a clean and stable picture with vivid colors and bright white color. Chase scene demonstrates that he is remarkably controlled rapid movement.

This is a fantastic player, but a little inferior Pioneer BDP-51FD (which costs $500) in detail and clarity.
With DVD it also copes well, stable and detailed image is not worse than equivalent rivals.
Yamaha Sound at a weighty, dynamic and detailed, both in stereo and in multichannel
mode, but it lacks a little subtlety and expressiveness of the leaders of the class. If you need a decoder HD-audio, you will be disappointed – at Yamaha did not take no for Dolby TrueHD, or about DTS-HD Master Audio.
If you decide to spend that amount on Blu-ray-player, then at least a picture with Blu-ray could be better.
