Yamaha join blu-ray circuit with it’s BD-S2900 player

Yamaha, not to be left behind on the Blu-ray circuit in Europe have announced their BD-S2900 Blu-ray player.

Unfortunately it does not have BD-Live connectivity, so future feature upgrades from the internet will not be something this BD-S2900 can take advantage of, it does offer though: 1080p, 24fps, 12-bit Deep Color and HD Audio Bitstream output plus it this playing is Bonus View enabled.

The BD-S2900 is probably aimed at Yamaha’s existing cinema customers, due to the fact that the machine is reported to match the Yamaha’s existing receivers, so it’s likely you will not have to go out and buy a receiver just upgrade your existing player.

This Blu-Ray player also has 16-step motion video detection, precise pixel detection and the ability upscale SD content via Chroma Upsampling.

You can pick this Blu-Ray player up in a gorgeous titanium or black finish, and they come with one HDMI output and an SD card slot. In the United States you can pick up the BD-S2900 for $1,200, unfortunately we have no UK pricing for you yet, we will post this information as and when we receive it.
