Yamaha RX-V385 review

The device has support for Dolby True HD and DTS Master HD decoders. The amplifier part is capable of delivering 70 watts to each of the five channels. In this case, the receiver will be able to serve as the centerpiece of a very modern recreation center, at least in terms of video. All HDMI version 2.2 inputs support streams in the high dynamic range formats HDR10, HLG and Dolby Vision at 4K 60 Hz.
