Yamaha BD-S2900 Blu-Ray Player Review

January 26, 2009



For the people looking for high end Blu-ray player, Yamaha brand is most likely on their list. Yamaha caters to video and audio enthusiasts that are looking for the very best in video and audio quality. For this reason, the average cost of the Blu-ray player is higher than that of the average consumer Blu-ray disc players. This is a complete player that can handle anything thrown at it. It has multitude of audio decoding options as well as video compatibility.

This player has many features that are not present in cheaper Blu-ray players. It can decode AVCHD, which is a digital format used by many high definition digital camcorders. It can do 1080i or 720p in AVCHD format. Also, it has RS-232c interface which allow you to use touch screen or computer integration. For people that use HTPC, this might be very useful. Also, it has IR in/out port. People with high end entertainment system, they are most likely using a high end universal remote control. This on top of all the features that are present in main stream Blu-ray players such as 1080p at 24fps and SD card reader for pictures and mp3s.

The video output is excellent. There are no noticeable difference between this player and $300.00 player. Most main stream players handle video output without any problems. I noticed no artifacts or motion blurs that were present in first generation players. On the other hand, the difference in audio compatibility is noticeable. It can output any of every high resolution audio formats including Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital Plus, DTS-HD Master Audio, and DTS-HD HIgh Resolution Audio in bitstream format for your receivers.

This is not a player I can recommend to everyone. It is for videophiles and audiophiles that want the very best and are willing to spend more than $1000.00 on Blu-ray players. The lack of Profile 2.0 is troubling but not a must have feature as it is for bonus contents. This is an exceptional player and as such cost significantly more than average player on the market.
