Make the Most of Blu-ray Discs Blu-ray Discs are one of the best ways to take advantage of the great entertainment that high-definition video and audio makes possible. Since a single-layer disc holds 25GB of data, a Blu-ray Disc stores five times more data than a standard DVD, providing superb picture resolution and surround sound. The BD-S2900 offers compatibility with the latest Blu-ray Disc format and the finest audio and video quality, as well as the latest features like Picture-in-Picture (Secondary Video/Audio) and Virtual Package. Secondary Video (Picture-in-Picture)/Audio Secondary Video lets you view a smaller picture inside the main picture (with compatible Blu-ray Discs). Secondary Audio lets you hear the smaller picture’s audio as well. Both can be selected from the BD-S2900 remote control. Virtual Package This feature lets you combine information from a Blu-ray Disc with local storage information on an SD card to enjoy additional content and services as they become available.		HD Audio Bitstream The digital audio signals from high bit-rate audio signals (Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital Plus, DTS-HD Master Audio and DTS-HD High Resolution Audio) are output directly from the player to the receiver (via an HDMI cable), without conversion to PCM. By using a receiver with HD audio decoders, the sound you hear will be exactly the same as the originally recorded material.
		ADVANCED FEATURES
		Design Matches Yamaha Receivers The front panel appearance matches Yamaha’s top-class receivers, so your system will have a neat, uniform look. RS-232C Interface By using this interface you can control your player with a touch-screen panel or use a computer for custom configurations. IR In/Out These ports make the BD-S2900 easy to integrate into a custom installation for convenient remote control operation.
High Picture Quality		12-Bit Deep Color HDMI also supports a technology called Deep Color, which increases the number of bits available for transmission, meaning more colors! In fact, with 12-bit compatibility, the BD-S2900 can provide 4,096 shades of each of the three primary colors. That means 4,0963 for a total of 68.7 billion possible colors, which in practical terms results in much great color fidelity, smooth tonal transitions and ultra-fine gradations between colors. It also enables many times more shades of gray, for higher contrast ratio.
1080p/24fps-Compatible HDMI Output 1080p is the highest level of video resolution, and the BD-S2900 can output these video signals directly to a receiver via the HDMI output. Generally, these signals are sent at 60 frames per second (FPS) but the BD-S2900 can also transmit 24fps signals, which is the same frame rate that movies are shot at. This provides a much sharper picture, with smoother motion.
