Yamaha BD-A1010 Aventage Universal 3D Blu-ray Player

Last year, Yamaha released the Aventage product line, which included first several A/V receivers, then also a Blu-ray player. The Aventage product line is Yamaha's new premiere brand, similar to Sony's "ES", and Pioneer's "Elite." Last year I reviewed...

The Yamaha BD-A1010 is a fine, full-featured Blu-ray player, with most of the options one would want. Picture quality is good to excellent, especially for HD material, and navigation speed and design was quite good. However, for the same suggested...

Yamaha Aventage BD-A1010 3D Blu-ray Player Reviewed

Yamaha offers competition in the universal player market by adding the BD-A1010 3D Blu-ray player to the company's offerings. But how does the Yamaha BD-A1010 stack up against its competition? Adrienne Maxwell investigates.

The BD-A1010 supports 3D playback, as well as SACD and DVD-Audio ; It supports BD-Live and BonusView/PIP ; It features internal decoding and bitstream output of high-resolution audio, plus multichannel analog audio outputs ; You can access Netflix,...

This model does not include dual HDMI outputs to send separate signals to your 3DTV and A/V receiver ; The player doesn't come with integrated WiFi or a USB WiFi adapter ; The Web platform isn't as robust or customizable as you'll find elsewhere ; The...

Given the BD-A1010's MSRP of $499.95, it's impossible not to compare it with OPPO Digital's BDP-93. The two players are similar in disc/format compatibility and Web offerings, and both have multichannel analog audio outputs and RS-232 control. This...

This is my 2nd. unit, Yamaha replaced the first fairly quickly via their DVD exchange policy form. But it has the same problem as the first-random intermittent audio dropouts while playing anything, discs or USB media. All my other equipment has been...

Does everything well and with class.

This plays all disk types well, but the Media features with USB and CD\/DVDr is excellent. It plays captured Mpeg4 videos and almost every other format out there. The versatility of the rear USB port is cool with the front port available for regular...

Yamaha BD-A1010 Aventage review

Yamaha's new Aventage series is a crop of top-flight AV components that the blurb says is a dramatic and inspired leap forward. They are clearly not talking cosmetically, because the flagship BD-A1010 networked Blu-ray player is a chunky and...

Universal disc playback; networked; film-like picture; twin HDMI outs

Noticeable panning judder on a projector screen; bugs need fixing
