16 Best Av Receiver of 2023 Reviews

TRUE SOUND: Make every night movie night. In fact, feel like you've entered the story. The Yamaha approach to tonal balance delivers incredibly detailed and accurate timbre in each voicing. Dynamism is found in the emotive contrast between the stillness and motion in the movie. The urgency and suspense between action scenes is palpable through the sound field that is created.

HDR and HDR10+: HDR (high dynamic range) video provides incredible contrast, smooth tone and rich, bright colors—giving you full, high-definition enjoyment with an exceptionally realistic and natural picture quality and HDR10+ greatly improves dynamic range of video content on a scene-by-scene basis. Also, using frame-by-frame metadata, it improves the scene characteristics between bright and dark so that important detail can remain. This enables displays to reproduce images more realistically, adhering to the creator's intent.

Stream it All: Explore a world of music with music streaming services built-in. Synchronizing your playlists and tracks from your smart phone or computer to the AV receiver, music streaming services make it easy to either listen to your favorites or discover new music.

Multi-room Audio - MusicCast: Imagine sharing all the music you love throughout the home – no matter the format. From your favorite vinyl to AirPlay, Bluetooth to music streaming services and even sound from your TV, MusicCast has it covered. Additionally, all MusicCast products are designed with sound quality at the front of mind. High-res formats including Apple Lossless (ALAC) up to 96 kHz, WAV, FLAC and AIFF up to 384 kHz are supported.

Compressed Music Enhancer: When music is encoded into a digitally compressed format like MP3, the frequency response suffers. The Yamaha Compressed Music Enhancer employs sophisticated digital signal processing using exclusive algorithms to restore what was lost, so the music always sounds the way it should.

Voice control Systems: Works with Alexa and Google Assistant, so your AV receiver is at your command.

YPAO R.S.C: Analyzes room acoustics and measures speaker characteristics to calibrate sound according to your room. This feature also adjusts Cinema DSP parameters according to reflected sounds, so you can have a perfectly balanced, professionally calibrated sound.

Comparable to YAMAHA RX-V6A with more than a $100 lower price.
