Yamaha earlier this week rolled out a new DVD player to go along with the top-of-the-line A/V receiver recently unveiled. The DVD-S1800 is expected this month for around $450.

The Yamaha DVD-S1800 offers among its high end features 1080p HDMI output as well as DVD-Audio and SACD support. There’s also upconverting to 1080p, 216MHz/12-bit video DAC, 5.1 channel output and integrated bass management.

This DVD player is capable of supporting compressed formats including MP3 and WMA audio files, JPEG image files and DivX video files. This last feature makes the DVD-S1800 much more of a universal player, though 7.1 channel audio and Blu-Ray Disc and/or HD DVD support would have been nice as well. Beggers can’t be choosers though we guess.
