Technology
Blu-ray Disc

Blu-ray, also known as Blu-ray Disc (BD) is the name of a next-generation optical disc format. The format was developed to enable recording, rewriting and playback of high-definition video (HD), as well as storing large amounts of data. The format offers more than five times the storage capacity of traditional DVDs and can hold up to 25GB on a single-layer disc and 50GB on a dual-layer disc. This extra capacity combined with the use of advanced video and audio codecs will offer consumers an unprecedented HD experience.
“Blu-ray Disc” and the Blu-ray Disc logo are trademarks.
Dolby® TrueHD

Dolby TrueHD is Dolby’s next-generation lossless technology developed for high-definition disc-based media. Dolby TrueHD delivers tantalizing sound that is bit-for-bit identical to the studio master, unlocking the true high-definition entertainment experience on next-generation discs. When coupled with high-definition video, Dolby TrueHD offers an unprecedented home theater experience that lets you enjoy sound as stunning as the high-definition picture.
DTS-HD Master Audio | Essential

DTS-HD Master Audio Essential for Blu-ray provides the same quality high-end sound that consumers have come to expect from DTS-HD Master Audio. The main difference between DTS-HD Master Audio Essential and DTS-HD Master Audio is that Essential products do not currently support DTS | 96 /24, ES, ES Matrix, and Neo: 6 on standard-def DVD discs. If you desire to playback the full DTS technology feature set with a DTS Master Audio Essential player for either high-def or standard-def content, you can simply change the audio setup mode in your player to stream out over HDMI and let your DTS-HD Master Audio receiver decode the DTS | 96 /24, ES, ES Matrix, and Neo: 6. Please reference your player user manual for details on audio setup.
BD-LIVE

BD-Live is a collection of online interactive features that content providers may include with a Blu-ray Disc movie to enhance your enjoyment of that movie, providing you a compelling new world of extended interactivity. BD-Live includes access to studio-specified Internet sites that provide you the ability to, for example, download current movie trailers or other exclusive content, play movie related games, enhance the content of their disc, chat with other viewers, play games with other BD-Live connected players, and much more. Blu-ray players and movies must both support BD-Live in order to use the technology.
Bonus View

BONUSVIEW functions include
- At least Profile 1.0 Version 1.1 compatibility
- Secondary Video/Audio for enhanced commentary or information
- Virtual Package for new entertainment possibilities with players that offer an SD Card slot
HDMI®

HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is the first and only industry-supported, uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface. With the ability to deliver crystal-clear, all-digital audio and video via a single cable, HDMI dramatically simplifies cabling and helps provide consumers with the highest-quality home theater experience. HDMI can provide an interface between most audio/video sources, such as a set-top box, Blu-ray Disc™ player, DVD player or AV receiver and a video monitor, such as a high-definition television (HDTV), over a single cable.
Depending on the model of product, HDMI can support standard, enhanced or high-definition video, plus multi-channel digital audio on a single cable. It can support all currently-available compressed audio formats (such as Dolby® Digital and DTS) and most newer HDMI devices can support lossless digital audio formats like Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio™.
(View the specifications of each product for details on HDMI compatibility.)
AVCHD

The "AVCHD" is an HD digital video camera recorder format recording 1080i*1 and 720p*2 signals onto certain media by using highly efficient codec technologies. The "AVCHD" is jointly established by Panasonic, the brand name for which Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd. is known and Sony Corporation.
*1 :1080i one of HD specifications that has 1080 efficient scanning lines by interlace method
*2 :720p one of HD specifications that has 720 efficient scanning lines by progressive method

Comments about Yamaha bd-s1065_black__u:
I use this player on an almost daily basis, generally for watching movies but also for listening to CD's. The 115db S/N cinched it for me, for the latter use, but the Yamaha name made it a much easier decision on the whole.
This unit feeds into a Yamaha RX-A800 receiver. (A receiver is something I swore I'd never own, after working in higher-end audio for sometime - selling Adcom, Hafler, Klipsch and Bose...and yes, I sold Yamaha.) But, for the price, I simply couldn't beat either component.
The sound is absolutely mellifluous and pristine. So much so that a friend of mine, who was skeptical about the accolades I was showering on my new setup, decided to purchase one after sitting and listening to Jennifer Warnes' Famous Blue Raincoat. (Tracks 3 and 4 really bring out the hidden acoustic beauty and imaging of both units.)
If you can live with the one caveat: the sluggishness of loading a disc (where it's initially reading the disc), which I can, this is, by far, an absolutely stellar investment.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
