Yamaha introduced the RX-V671 7.1-channel Network A/V Receiver, their most advanced model in the new 71 series. The RX-V671 boasts 6 in/1 out HDMI (3D and ARC compatibility), 1080p upscaling and has assignable amplifiers for bi-amp and Zone 2 capabilities. Bluetooth compatible (A2DP), this model can be used with the optional Yamaha Bluetooth Wireless Audio Receiver YBA-10 enabling users to listen to their favorite music on their iPhone, iPod, iPad, Android phone, MP3 player, smartphone, or just about any Bluetooth-enabled device.
The new RX-V671 network A/V receiver is both DLNA 1.5 and Windows 7 certified, and can access free and paid network music streaming services such as Internet radio, Rhapsody, SiriusXM Internet Radio, Pandora, Napster, as well as audio content located on DLNA supported networked computers or storage drives. Timed with the model's launch this spring, Yamaha will upgrade its free receiver control iPod/iPhone App which offers control over basic functionality as well as internal sources, network content navigation and zone controls on this, and other select Yamaha networked products.
A front panel USB iPod/iPhone input provides a direct digital connection to iPhone/iPod content with the standard 30-pin iPod dock connector to USB cable connection. Users can then control and play audio content from these devices with the supplied remote, with song titles, cover art and playback information appearing on the receiver's attractive on-screen menu.
