Untitled - The Listening Post Christchurch

These two superb receivers spotlight the impressive progress that Yamaha has made in improving home theater performance. In
terms of the four qualities that we consider vital for a home theater receiver — sound quality, picture quality, ease of use and
surround realism — they are far ahead of other models in their class. Sound quality, especially in the case of the RX-V2400,
which uses extremely high quality parts in every stage, is so good you will have to hear it to believe it. Both receivers also
feature a new Yamaha innovation called YPAO (Yamaha Parametric Room Acoustic Optimizer), that automatically optimizes the
sound to match the room acoustics. Enjoy the best in home theater performance — as only Yamaha can provide it.
Superior Surround Realism
Yamaha is famous for the quality and
versatility of its CINEMA DSP digital sound
field processing. Both receivers employ a
powerful 32-bit Yamaha-developed LSI to
provide an astounding range of realistic
music and movie surround sound. They are
compatible with all latest movie sound
formats, including Dolby Pro Logic IIx, and
they also offer THX Select processing. The
many surround programs (33 in the
RX-V2400, 31 in the RX-V1400) provide a
vast range of listening options. There is
even a SILENT CINEMA mode for enjoying a
surround sound experience through
headphones. And by using the Night
Listening mode, you can maintains proper
tonal balance and dynamic range when you
turn down the volume.
