Yamaha Releases A Brand New 3-D Ready Home Theater Receiver
Hot on the heels of the recently unveiled line of budget 3D receivers, the new 3D capable Yamaha RX-V667 home theater receiver is a direct replacement for the old line of mid-priced receiver. It has additional extras like 6 HDMI inputs that is more than adequate for most home theater fans. Also enhanced are the full discrete amplifiers on the V667 that delivers better sound quality and the capacity to power low impedance speakers. It also incorporates 3D capability out of the box with the latest HDMI ver 1.4a standard.
The design and style of the Yamaha RX-V667 resembles their previous lines. Built quality is outstanding with nice brushed aluminum faceplates. There’s an HDMI input located on the front panel which is a very useful feature allowing simple access of regularly used appliances like a camcorder or a Sony PS3.
Effective surround sound processing options has often been a feature of Yamaha systems. The innovative RX-V667 comes with height presence speaker playback via CINEMA DSP 3D technology. It works with full HD Audio decoding and analog-to-HDMI 1080p video upscaling. The V667 Audio-video receiver gives users accessibility to the wide range of today’s common content sources. The receiver also includes Pure Direct audio playback, Adaptive Dynamic Range Control, Deep Color (30/36 bit) technology, 24Hz Refresh Rates and Auto Lip-Sync compensation. It also produces wide-ranging source connectivity and convenience features for top-notch image quality.
Audio performance is not severely sacrificed either. There are two self-sufficient power supplies, an analog one for audio and a switching one for all digital circuitry. This greatly gives the receiver adequate headroom to deal with complex movie and CD music passages and deliver room filling sound that will fulfill the most die hard movie lover and serious audiophile as well. And with Pure Direct playback mode you can be expecting decent sound quality if you couple it with high-quality speakers.
Yamaha did a great job with this new product. Its interesting features, 3D support, enhanced sound quality and awesome video processing will make the RX-V667 highly sought after among budget minded home entertainment fans. It is destined to be one of the top 10 AV receivers this year!
