Yamaha BD-S2900 Blu-ray Disc Player - Product Review and Rating

The BD-S2900 is Yamaha's first entry into the Blu-ray Disc player market. This player features 1080p/60 or 1080p/24 resolution playback for Blu-ray Discs, provides bitstream output for both Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD via its HDMI 1.3a output, and is fully playback compatible with standard DVDs, most recordable DVD formats, standard music CDs, and CD-Rs/RWs. The BD-S2900 upscales standard DVDs up to 1080p via the HDMI output. The BD-S2900 adheres to Profile 1.1 (Bonus View) specifications, and is not upgradable to Profile 2.0 (BD Live) specifications. In addition, the BD-S2900 does have a high suggested price of $1,199. To find out if this Blu-ray Disc player is right for you, check out both my Short and Full Reviews, as well as my Photo Profile.
