Yamaha announces a trio of AV receivers meeting current home theater demands while providing simple operation and low energy consumption-- the RX-Vx71 series.
AV receivers' jobs have changed-- from simply amplifying surround sound, today's receivers have to support any source-- from 3D films to gaming consoles and mp3 players-- what Yamaha says its new range can handle.
All models come with a streamlined components, making an "eco-friendly" design Yamaha says uses just 0.1 W in standby mode, together with an automatic switch-off function.
The RX-V371 is the entry-level model, with 5 x 100 W output (to 6 Ohm) and x4 HDMI inputs (with HD, ARC and 3D support).
The RX-V471 improves on the previous model with a Virtual Presence Speaker and Cinema DSP 3D functions.
Finally, the RX-V571 aims for the home cinema enthusiast, with a video scaler converting PAL material to full HD video. It can handle 7.1 speaker sets with 7 x 105 W output (to 6 Ohm).
