Yamaha A/V Receivers
The newly released Yamaha receivers offer everything from 3D and network compatibility, to Dolby TrueHD and DTS HD Master Audio for prices below $600.
Yamaha’s 71 Series A/V receivers bundle together everything a consumer will need for a modern home theater with features such as Apple control options, networking compatibility and built-in room equalization.
During the heyday of the economy a few years ago it seemed like big, feature-laden receivers were very much in style. Today value is the driving force behind the development of new products and through this trend manufacturers are engineering products that are reasonably priced, but still loaded with features.
A good example of this trend is the latest series of Yamaha A/V receivers. The company's four new receivers range in price from $250 to $600 and they incorporate features such as DLNA 1.5 and Windows 7 certification, Internet radio options such as Rhapsody, SiriusXM Radio, Pandora and Napster, and front panel-based USB iPhone/iPod connections.
The line includes the 7.1 RX-V671 and RX-V571 receivers and the 5.1 RX-V471 and RX-V371 products. Some of the standard home theater amenities featured in these receivers include 3D compatible HDMI inputs with Audio Return Channels (ARC), DTS HD Master Audio and Dolby TrueHD decoding, Yamaha's Parametric Room Acoustics Optimizer (YPAO) equalization technologies and its proprietary DSP processing modes.
