Yamaha RX-V571 sound system

Design & Connectivity The Yamaha RX-V571 sports a high tech brushed aluminum black finish like its predecessors. Controls and buttons are well laid out and the center display clearly shows the required playback information. There are four pre-set SCENE buttons for one touch control of frequently used sources. This is an excellent feature proprietary to Yamaha. What’s new is a HDMI input on the front panel and an USB for your iPod/iPad/iPhone. It takes the digital output using the standard 30-pin USB cable included with your Apple device and also charges when connected. Yamaha is generous with 6 HDMI ver 1.4a inputs (with one in front) that supports 3D pass-through. However, there is no pre-outs for external amps. Also included are two sets of component video input, 5 composite video inputs, a sub-woofer output, and a port for connecting an optional Yamaha docking station. A headphone jack is available on the front panel. Key Features • HDMI ver 1.4a Support for 3D Video and Audio Return Channel. • 105W per channel output for each of the 7 channels. • Yamaha’s proprietary Cinema DSP audio processing which delivers a more immersive experience and presence for 3D movies. • Simplified GUI – a new high-resolution Graphic User Interface (GUI) allows for easier navigation. Graphics can be overlaid on HD and 3D video signals providing access to navigational icons and setup items. • Yamaha’s Parametric room Acoustic Optimizer (YPAO) simplifies the setup process by automatically analyzing room acoustics and setting parameters for optimum sound quality./li> • Compressed Music Enhancer – this is used to restore dynamics to compressed audio files. • Decodes Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital Plus, DTS-HD Master Audio, and DTS-HD High Resolution Audio. • Silent Cinema technology -quite similar to Cinema DSP, this is developed to let you enjoy movies and music on your headphones for long durations without listening fatigue. • Low Power Consumption – uses only 0.1W on standby and includes an Auto Power Down feature. Save on utility bills and environmentally friendly. • USB input for direct connection – if you have an iPod/iPad/iPhone, you can connect it to the front USB port using the cable that comes with your Apple device for convenient playback. It takes the digital signal from the iPod/iPhone/iPad which reduces signal loss resulting in better sound quality. • Analog and HDMI Video Upscaling to 1080p – upscales standard definition video signals to 1080p using precise motion adaptive and edge adaptive deinterlacing and multi-cadence detection (including 3-2 pull-down).
