Pros: 2D & Sound are excellent
Cons: Occasionally unresponsive & needs to be unplugged. Some 3D movies are unwatchable
I've owned this player for about 4 months now. The player plays 2D just fine, but for some reason has to be reset (unplugged/replugged) every now and again because it doesn't respond at all when attempting to turn it on.
We just bought a 3D TV about a month ago, this is when I started to notice an additional flaw with this unit. Certain 3D movies are practically unwatchable due to what seems to be a decoding issue. The moving images are extremely blurry and the whole 3D effect seems very messy (namely Prometheus, Ice Age 3D, Dolphin Tale). My other 3D movies seem to play ok. After confirming I had the latest firmware, I contacted Yamaha & received a response basically telling me it was a problem with my TV settings. I then went to Best Buy & Bought a cheap ($100) Sony 3D BluRay player just to test & it worked perfectly straight out of the box on all the movies listed above. I have communicated this back to Yamaha & am awaiting a response.
