With so many of today’s A/V products tapping into the web, it would make sense that you’d want the brains behind your system to play nice, and be able to connect as well. Yamaha is making the web a major focus of one of its new receivers, the RX-V671.
The newly announced 7.1 channel RX-V671 includes both DLNA 1.5 and Windows 7 certification. That means you can use the receiver to tap into streaming music on any web radio station, as well as services like Napster, Pandora, Rhapsody, SiriusXM Internet Radio, and content stored on all of the DLNA devices around the house.
The RX-V671, as well as the 7.1 RX-V571 and the 5.1 RX-471, also feature a new front-panel USB port, designed specifically for iPod and iPhone playback. This direct connection allows users to view song info and cover art right on the respective receiver’s screen, as well as flip through everything via the included remote.
Other features on all four include CINEMA DSP 3D technology, Yamaha’s Parametric Room Acoustic Optimizer (YPAO), and the Compressed Music Enhancer. The Compressed Music Enhancer is an interesting feature, promising to restore all of the detail in your compressed digital files.
