Blu-ray DiscBlu-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

HDMIHDMI (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 any audio/video source, such as a set-top box, DVD player, or A/V receiver and an audio and/or video monitor, such as a digital television (DTV), 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 transmit all ATSC HDTV standards and supports 8-channel, 192kHz, uncompressed digital audio and all currently-available compressed formats (such as Dolby Digital and DTS), newer HDMI devices can support HDMI 1.3 technology which adds additional support for new lossless digital audio formats Dolby® TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio™

Yamaha BDS1065BL-Extended Information:
You'd best sit down for this one: there's more to the Blu-ray experience than just Full HD video and audio. Like what, you ask? Um, how about oodles of bonus features available via the internet? Awesome, right? Right. Thanks to integrated BD-Live technology, the single-disc BD-S1065 Blu-ray player from Yamaha brings you access to a diverse array of material available via your pre-existing internet connection. Watch deleted scenes, shorts, and trailers. Participate in online gaming. Chat using audio and video messaging. Simply connect the BD-S1065 to your internet via the built-in ethernet port, plug in a USB storage device for storage of bonus features, pop in a BD-Live-enabled Blu-ray Disc movie, and take your experience beyond the disc.
Blu-ray discs look just like DVDs. They're even the exact same size. So what makes them any different . . . or better, for that matter? The answer is found in one word: blue. While DVD technology uses a wide red laser to encode and read data from DVD discs, Blu-ray Disc technology uses a narrow blue-violet beam. Big deal? Hardly. Because the Blu-ray laser is so much narrower and precise, it is able to fit significantly more information in the same amount of space as DVD. How much more information? Try over five times the storage capacity of DVD. Not only is that enough room for Full HD 1080p video (compared to DVD's 480i), but also for 7.1-channels of studio-quality surround sound audio. And that's just the beginning. There's still space left over for bonus materials like deleted scenes and director commentary. Discover the power of Blu.
That's right, Blu-ray Disc brings you both Full HD video and HD audio. Unlike the 5.1-channel compressed audio found on DVD which has had some of the original high- and low-frequency audio removed, the 7.1 channel surround sound audio found on Blu-ray Disc is true to the studio original. However, in order to take full advantage of this audio experience, you need a way of decoding the digital signal so that it can be sent on to your amplifier and then on to your 7.1-channel speaker system. Good thing the BD-S1065 from Yamaha packs the latest decoding technologies from Dolby and dts. Dolby TrueHD and dts-HD Master Audio decoding serve up full, lossless 7.1-channel surround sound, bringing you the listening experience that the director intended. If you have a newer receiver, you can simply use the HDMI output to transmit the HD audio to your receiver (along with the HD video), or for compatibility with older receivers, the BD-S1065 features 7.1-channel analog audio output.
If one thing characterizes today's world of home entertainment, it's an abundance of audio and video formats. Movies come on everything from disc sources like Blu-ray and DVD to home video and internet sources like AVCHD and DivX. And then audio is available on CD and in compressed formats like MP3 and WMA. And further, photos have their own formats, such as JPEG. Ensuring that you have a single, versatile source for playback of all your audio, video, and photo formats. the BD-S1065 supports Blu-ray and DVD video discs, AVCHD video, DivX video downloaded from the internet; CD, MP3, and WMA audio; and JPEG photos.
- The advanced connectivity of HDMI
Bringing you the absolute best in connectivity, Yamaha's BD-S1065BL features one HDMI output. HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is the only interface in consumer electronics that can carry both uncompressed high-definition (HD) video and uncompressed multi-channel audio in all HD formats including 720p, 1080i and even 1080p. Your incoming media content comes in a variety of sizes, resolutions and formats, and with that in mind, HDMI systems automatically configure to display that content in the most effective format. Since HDMI carries all channels on video and audio, there is only one cable to plug into any HDMI-enabled source and display device. No more complicated cable set-up when installing your home theater system, and no more ugly cable mess behind your components. HDMI supports standard, enhanced, or high-definition video, plus multi-channel digital audio on this single cable. Also, HDMI is fully backward-compatible with DVI. (Please note that a physical adapter, sold separately, is needed to make the conversion from HDMI to DVI.)
