Yamaha RX-V475 review

Features

Its power is 80 watts per channel (6 ohms). The AV receiver has advanced HDMI features, including 4K Pass-Through. 4K means a resolution four times the resolution of a 1080p display. Although the new technology is not yet available to the consumer, 4K displays and signal sources will undoubtedly become popular in the future. This receiver skips 4K source data for display, and image clarity exceeds all existing standards. The receiver can work with a signal that includes 3D data. The Audio Return Channel function provides data transmission and reception over a single HDMI cable. The TV reproduces sound without using a separate optical cable. Exclusive proprietary Cinema DSP technology supports playback of HD Audio format (Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD Master Audio, etc.), providing the formation of a wide and natural sound scene.

Design and build

Yamaha uses discrete amplifiers in its AV receivers, even in entry-level receivers, which undoubtedly adds to the company's products. Each channel includes a high quality Burr Brown 192 kHz / 24 bit DAC. The RX-V375 has two sets of 5-position terminals for the main speakers and spring-type connectors for the remaining channels. Anti-vibration radiators are designed to suppress vibration from transistors and sound pressure. Independent power supplies for the DAC are designed to further eliminate noise, and the rear panel has an Ethernet port.

Connectivity

The receiver has two HDMI inputs and one output, two component video inputs and one output, and three composite video inputs and one output. There are two coaxial and two optical digital inputs, as well as a subwoofer output. The front panel has a 3.5 mm input for connecting an MP3 player, as well as a composite video input.

Setup

The built-in YPAO sound optimization system in just a few minutes analyzes the acoustics of the room and adjusts the parameters to ensure the best sound quality. The result is as if a professional installer calibrated your system.
