Yamaha BD- S1065 Review

Yamaha presents its new device on the market Blu- Ray. While not the most complete, is characterized by getting the maximum juice to the image and sound on each disc. The range of this class of devices is widening despite still not available to popular due to its high price. However, Blu- Ray platform will be responsible for replacing the DVD in the future, and for this reason the manufacturers of the players are concerned with providing the best devices to users.



In this case, Yamaha introduced the BD- S1065, a player that is characterized by emphasis on the projection of the best quality in sound to image. The Japanese company abandoned many common aspects in similar devices to focus on user experience virtually unmatched .



The player features BD -Live, Bonus View and compatibility with Profile 2 . It also has HDMI output , composite video, component video and S -Video , which makes it one of the best in terms of connectivity . Furthermore, it is noteworthy that has a port for Ethernet and USB connection . As for formats, not only Blu- Ray supportBut that also plays DVD, audio CD, JPEG pictures and AVCHD format .

Features:

  • Plays Blu- Ray , DVD , CD , JPEG , AVCHD .

  • Do not allow playback from USB flash drives .
  • No Internet connection to wireless networks .
  • It has Ethernet port .
  • It has audio outputs for 2.0 channels and 7.1.

Strengths:

As noted above, the YAmah BD- S1065 is a portable Blu- Ray intended for its users to enjoy audio quality and outstanding video. It is one of the high-end devices and all the people who use it feel they have moved a movie theater to the living room of his house.

In terms of functionality, has all the options to squeeze the highest quality of each disk that is inserted into your reader , regardless of format you have. The connectivity options are impressive and go hand in hand with the possibilities that now include high-definition televisions

The possibility of connect the player to the web through its Ethernet port is great for sharing content on various websites, with the possibility of downloading to a flash memory plugged into the USB port on the back.

On the side of the aesthetic , this device Yamaha has a beautiful line. Perhaps the dimensions are greater than those of other players that are on the market , but that does not lose points in the design. Available in two colors: black and silver , although the former makes him look nicer.

Negatives :

Developers Yamaha BD- S1065 shelved knowingly many of the options that bring other players in the same range . However, it is understood that there is no possibility of connecting the device to a home network for wireless Internet, and may not play media from a portable hard drive or USB memory .

Another unfavorable is that you can not play discs with MP3 or WMA format . It is understandable that it has put greater emphasis on image and audio quality regardless of most basic functions , but being a device that has a price of about 600 euros, many do not appear very happy .

Other Blu- Ray devices on the market have many more features and sound quality also very good, and for that reason it is quite likely that users prefer a more complete player and cheaper .

Okay, there are many people who prefer to have the best quality picture and sound , but I doubt they opt for a device like Yamaha, which does not have something as simple as sensors to connect the device to a Wi Fi Internet network.

The Japanese firm will have to rethink a bit at the launch of this player. Maybe if you cut the price a little and include an internal memory of good ability , acceptance of BD- S1065 be much higher.

Conclusion :
The Yamaha BD- S1065 meets and exceeds some respects and in many other watering . As mentioned above, the price is too high for a device that does not have many basic options on the market Blu- Ray.

Excellence in quality picture and sound , the wide variety in terms of connectivity with the beauty of the design can not hide the fact that many weak points that this device brings to awareness of their manufacturers.
