Abstract: 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...
Abstract: For close to $1200 MSRP, the Yamaha BD-S2900 Blu-ray player is not a good first choice or even a good second choice for a Blu-ray player. You will find more features offered in less expensive Blu-ray players, including an Ethernet port, Profile 2.0 sta...

Qualité de lecture, Compatibilité BonusView, Possibilités dégalisation vidéo
Prix élevé, Pas de BDLive, Pas de port Ethernet pour déventuelles mises à jour
Au moment où la plupart des constructeurs font tout pour démocratiser le Blu-ray et proposer des lecteurs à des prix abordables, Yamaha entre dans la danse avec une platine haut de gamme à près de 1000 euros. Et sans compatibilité BD-Live par dessus le...
Abstract: Yamaha BD-S2900 är en mycket stabil och väldesignad blu-ray-spelare som har utmärkt återgivning med rätt bildmaterial. Priset är dock högt och dvd-återgivning är inte på topp.
