Yamaha S1067 Blu-ray Official at IFA 2010

The Yamaha S1067 is the latest universal Blu-ray player to be announced for Europe, although it will be released in other regions at a later date.  To remind readers, a universal player will spin almost any disc you put in its tray, including in the case of the S1067, 3D Blu-ray, DVD, SACD and DVD-A.  A similar approach has been taken with files formats, so it supports MP3, WMA, HD-JPEG, AVCHD and WMV.  The player is also one of the first to be DivX Plus HD certified, so it can playback 1080p MKV files too.

The S1067 upscales DVD to 1080p, provides 7.1 channel analogue outputs, Dolby TrueHD and DTS Master Audio decoding, DLNA certification, USB ports on the front and rear panels and an Ethernet port.

The player is expected to go on sale in October and the price will hover around the €600 mark, that's £500 or $775, and it will be available both in the titanium pictured above and in black too.
