Yamaha BD-S473 Blu-ray player

 

The Yamaha BD-S473 is a low- to mid-priced player that is great for playing discs but could do more with its smart features.

Good overall disc-playing performance. Perfect progressive scan of interlaced discs. Good value for money.

No frame stepping or slow motion. Problems accessing network media.

The Yamaha BD-S473 is a low- to mid-priced player that is great for playing discs but not so good when it comes to the smart features.
