A up-close look at Yamaha's two new Blu-ray players

Press shots are great and all, but you really can't appreciate a great piece of hardware from the likes of Yamaha until you see it in person. Of course the two new players were just announced so unless you went to CEDIA -- not trying to rub it in or anything -- you'll have to live vicariously through us and enjoy our pictures. Contrary to what we originally reported, both BD-S1900 and BD-S1065 feature a detachable power cord, and in addition, the 1900 also offers a direct mode that will help the obsessive compulsive type rest easy knowing their Blu-ray player is just passing on the original bits from the disc untouched.

Boy oh boy yamaha. Can we make some gear that looks a tad fresher than 1995. I know it what's on the inside that counts, but damn!

Looks like Denon.

@ iccassidy, its hard to disagree with you, they don't look like most of today's 'futuristic' BD-players. But i have to say, i would rather they match the rest of my AV equipment.

With that in mind, i would rather not have my AV receiver or other components look like most of today's 'futuristic' players. They should be Black, with Dull lighting. I'm watching the TV, not my components.
