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™.

Comments about Yamaha BD-S673:

I have always been a "Yamaha Guy" with my audio and video, even my VCR ws a Yamaha years ago when they were still popular. This unit, the BD-S673, continues the fine tradition of audio and video quality and that's refreshing because most other current brand name units just don't have that well-built feel to them. In other words, I like a product with some weight to it.

Comments about Yamaha BD-S673:

The BDS673 is classic Yamaha design - simple but elegant. It appears to be very well-made and was very easy to set up. It streams YouTube and plays all my DVD/CDs without issue. The sound quality is exceptional, and what I expect from Yamaha. My only concern is the occasional difficulty I have in getting the unit to shut off using the remote. I can use the remote to do all normal functions such as change tracks, eject the disc, etc., but when I try to shut off power with the remote the unit sometimes displays "BYE" but locks up that way until I go over to the unit and push the off button on its front panel.

This system is awesome but I'm only able to get 480 or 5 because my Tv does
not have HDMI connections it only has component cables for 1080i. The description on the product was misleading.
