Yamaha DVD-S1800BL 1080p Upconverting DVD SACD Player

This upconvert DVD player works really well with my flatscreen. The picture quality was much better than I expected.

This is a great product! If you haven't yet ventured into the realm of multi-channel audio, you seriously need to look into purchasing this player. There are a bunch of sites out there that will explain the different audio formats available these days...
