Yamaha has announced the company’s latest generation of RX-V Series network AV receivers – the 7.2-channel RX-V781, RX-V681 and RX-V581, as well as the 5.1-channel RX-V481 — which deliver 4K Ultra HD video, surround sound technologies and wireless multiroom audio.
The new RX-V781, RX-V681 and RX-V581 models improve upon the series’ high-quality circuit design that now harness the power of Dolby Atmos and DTS:X object-based surround formats. The RX-V481 provides solid performance in 5.1 channel and HD Audio format decoding systems, including Dolby True HD and DTS HD Master Audio.
On the video side, each of these new models of AV receivers are HDCP 2.2 compliant, enabling them to work with copy protected 4K media streaming devices and 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray Disc players. All models support 4K Ultra HD at 60p 4:4:4 for watching content in this super high-resolution format. Equally important, the AV receivers offer high dynamic range (HDR) and BT.2020 compatibility.
Each of the new AV receivers feature Bluetooth with Compressed Music Enhancer that enables high quality wireless music playback from smartphones and tablets. Users can also stream Bluetooth out to Bluetooth-enabled devices for sound in adjacent areas.
The AV receivers also feature the Yamaha exclusive YPAO automatic system calibration, which uses a microphone to listen and analyze the sound of each speaker, then tunes the sound system to create the best possible listening experience in any type of room.
Moreover, with the resurgence of vinyl, the RX-V681 and RX-V781 both feature a phono input for record lovers who are looking to hear the magic of their music collection.
