Yamaha BD-S1065

This system is not cheap, nor does it compromise in very many areas. This system uses a top of the line receiver and soundbar. A system could be better, but not using only a receiver and a soundbar (plus sub and surrounds). I would say this is almost a...

The Yamaha BD-S1065 is a well built Blu-ray player that had solid performance with both music and movies. Blu-ray picture quality was very good, with good standard DVD playback as well. As impressive as the picture quality was from the Yamaha, the...

Excellent picture for films ; Analogue, 7.1-channel output ; BD-Live ; HD-audio output as PCM and bitstream

Extremely weak DVD de-interlacing ; Quiet but clearly audible fan noise ; Slow disc drive ; Measly multimedia features

We all love a bargain and that's what this otherwise lofty-priced blu ray player appeared to be when its price recently dipped below two benjamins. In my ever-ending quest to test almost every blu ray player, I purchased one with reasonable hopes....

This is an excellent blu-ray player. The colors are vibrant and the picture is crisp connected to my Sony LCD television via the HDMI port. Disc loading times are miniscule, with the player initiating playback in no time I have tested both recent and...
