DVD & Blu-ray Players
Add a DVD Player player to your system to enjoy your favorite movie and sound discs. A relatively inexpensive addition and available in single or 5-disc changers. For the ultimate and newest movie technology, consider a Blu-ray for the highest resolution picture with 5 / 7 channel sound. Unfortunately, standard DVD discs do not play on the new Blu-rays so you will need a standard DVD Player for your old discs. We have selected components with the all important HDMI output connections to provide the highest quality picture and sound. Here are our recommendations from Yamaha, the nation's premier component manufacturer:
Digital Video Disc Players
S661 DVD Single Disc Player
This player has all the latest features for high quality sound and picture. Provides full HDMI interface for ease of connection and processing quality. Must have for watching movies and a perfect start for DVD enjoyment.
C961 DVD 5-Disc Changer
Top class 5-disc changer incorporating all the latest technologies with full HDMI connections. Our recommended upgrade if you need a 5-disc capability.
S1800 DVD Single Disc Player
Top tier. The S1800 offers extremely high video and audio quality and is our choice on high-end systems. We will recommend with our premium sound packages.
Blu-ray 1080p Players
The latest must have component is the Blu-ray player; you will enjoy the highest resolution picture and 7-channel sound to take full advantage of your new HD TV and Home Theater sound system. If you still need the HD DVD player, they are available for $89.99 or less online.
Not all manufacturers have switched to producing the Blu-ray so you will see limited brands in the stores. Blu-ray sets the standards for licensing other manufacturers so features and quality is essentially the same on all models. The exception is Yamaha which we believe in unmatched and the "gold standard" for high end Blu-ray disc players. We will discuss other brands but you must consider the S2900 first.

Other Blu-ray Models
We are now seeing most of the major component manufacturer's Blu-ray players with a host of enhancements and useful extras. However, all the manufactures are required to adhere to the strict standards set by Blu-ray. So weather you get the cheapest or most expensive, the basic picture and sound quality will still be far superior to any other device. The most important consideration is that you have a Blu-ray in your system as all the major studios are now releasing their movies in Blu-ray format for the best picture possible and full multi-channel sound processing.
