Yamaha has officially taken the wraps off its RX-V861 AV receiver, a new system designed to serve as the hum of a home entertainment or theater setup and appeal to folks who have multiple current and legacy video sources, like high-def players, DVD, set-top boxes, legacy game consoles, or even (gasp!) VHS.

Yamaha And XM Satellite Team Up
The first Yamaha XM-Ready receivers will be available at retail in early April.
Through this new technology, consumers simply plug an XM Connect-and-Play home antenna (MSRP $49.99) into the XM-Ready Yamaha AV receiver and activate the service to receive XM’s 150-plus digital radio channels. No additional accessories or installation are required. Using XM’s industry-leading chipset technology as well as a new proprietary chip and signaling protocol , the XM Connect-and-Play antenna is capable of receiving XM’s satellite and terrestrial signals as well as channel tuning, decoding and audio transmission. It will be the only accessory needed to get XM through an XM-Ready audio system.
Yamaha Announces New Series Of Receivers
From Yamaha’s press release:
Yamaha Electronics has introduced four new digital home theater receivers that enhance the overall home theater experience at a variety of reasonable price points, beginning as low as $299 MRSP. The RX-V750 and RX-V650 include an essential new feature called YPAO (Yamaha Parametric Room Acoustic Optimizer), which was previously available only in higher-end receivers and is a technology that completely simplifies the home theater set-up process. YPAO automatically analyzes room acoustics, then sets parameters for optimum sound quality at the listening position at the touch of a button.
Yamaha RX-V740 reciever review
Quote from the eCoustics review:
“While the RX-V740 is not perfect it gets it right on what’s most important — sound quality. It was almost as good as the higher priced Yamaha RX-V2300 I recently reviewed. But I don’t want to belittle a receiver against its bigger brother. Needless to say, I was extremely impressed with how well it sounded for stereo music and home theater use. The RX-V740 can easily fill up a large room with sound and should be seriously considered for any budget conscious shopper. It’s not overloaded with features, but the most important ones are in there, which include 5 assignable digital inputs (4 optical, 1 coaxial) and two component video inputs.
Yamaha launches 7-Channel recievers
Successors to Yamaha’s previous receiver models, the mid-priced RX-V2400 and RX-V1400 feature 7-channel amplification and utilize Yamaha’s Digital ToP-ART (Total Purity Audio Reproduction Technology)design concept to maximize digital sound quality, with several operation modes that provide short, direct signal paths for sound clarity.
A 32-bit proprietary LSI provides full range realistic music and movie sound. Both units are compatible with the latest sound formats (including Dolby Digital EX, Dolby Pro Logic II, DTS-ES Discrete6.1, DTS Neo:6 and DTS 96/24), and also provide THX Select processing.
