Had Yamaha slipped DVD-Audio/SACD playback and 1080p upscaling onto the DVD-S661's feature list, we would have had a certified ‘must-buy' on our hands, but as it stands these omissions prove to be its undoing. You can pick up players from the likes of Pioneer and OPPO that provide these features for a similar amount of money, greatly reducing the Yamaha's value factor. But what you do get for your green is a slimline, attractive and well-built player that offers a competent performance and some handy features. It certainly won't leave you feeling disappointed, but just be sure to check out the competition before buying.
