Yamaha BD-S667 Blu-ray Disc Player, Black Reviews | best blu-ray ...

The Yamaha BD-S667 Blu-ray Disc Player is the perfect way to jump into watching the latest high-definition movies and video. x.v. Color and Deep Color support along with the latest high-definiton audio decoders give you an experience unrivaled from traditional DVD video. Integrated Netflix support, HDMI 1.3 BD Live support and DLNA network compatibility keeps you connected to your entertainment beyond the disc.

Unfortunately, JVC never released a direct successor to the XV BP1. Instead, the released the low budget profile 1.1 XV BP11 destined for closeout pricing at Sam’s Club. Nearly 16 months after the JVC’s release, I think I have found its successor, but strangely enough it’s hidden behind a Yamaha label.

Prior Yamaha blu ray players (1065, 1900) were Sharp-based players that lacked any real redeeming quality save an opportunity for Yamaha receiver owners to have some commonality in their rack. Upon reading the press releases of the 667, a few things caught my eye – that worrying quick start feature was dropped and the inclusion of dlna made me wonder whose format the player was based. It did not appear to be Sharp-based (unlike the new Pioneer releases) and also lacked the usual Funai or LG look and layout that is generally easy to spot.

The 667 arrived Thursday afternoon and I have been pushing this unit through an abnormally high number of tests. Its GUI, OSD, and setup menu were very familiar in that they struck me as very similar to my Oppo 83 and 80. The initial setup and overlain setup menu were different in look and lacked a number of options the Oppos have, but had an overwhelming Oppo-esque familiarity to them.

The center-mounted disc drive is a bit pokey, opening in 10-12 seconds (very similar to the Oppp 83 EAP first-run drives), but load times were very fast and were only outpaced by the newest Samsung models. Upon checking synthetic deinterlacing tests, I knew we had found the very competent Mediatek chipset. In fact, its synthetic deinterlacing tests for film cadence matched the Oppo BDP-80 identically. Unfortunately, its video deinterlacing was not quite up to par with the Oppo BDP-80.

Real world DVD testing revealed a very competent player that could not quite match the Pioneer BDP-320′s sharpness or the Oppo’s accuracy in avoiding aliasing, but was damn close. The player’s biggest deficiency is a lack of fine tuned noise reduction to bring a more detailed edge to the image. That said, the player is very versatile and offers the same smooth, accurate image other mediatek chipped players produce. The player offers a zoom function for dvds that is effective and similar to that offered in the Oppo 80, but a bit different in its gradients.
