Heavy hitting for 2009
Every model in Yamaha's RX-V receiver line gets a big performance boost for 2009, and the RX-V465 is no exception. First, this 5.1-channel receiver doubles its HDMI outputs from two to four, allowing you to connect twice as many HD components using the most advanced high definition audio and video interface available. Second, the RX-V465 sports Dolby TrueHD and dts-HD Master Audio processing decoding, the pinnacles of surround sound technology. Further, the RX-V465 features HDMI pass through, ensuring that HD video coming from a component source like Blu-ray Disc arrives at your HDTV with the highest possible fidelity for a superb viewing experience.
5.1 channels — Fear decimals no longer
It's time to put your grade-school fraction- and decimal-related trauma to rest. Your new RX-V Series RX-V465 receiver from Yamaha features "5.1" channels of audio output for a true surround-sound experience right in your home. The "5" in "5.1" refers to the five main audio channels — center channel for dialogue, right- and left-front and right- and left-rear channels for enveloping audio effects. The ".1" refers to the non-powered LFE or Low Frequency Effects channel which provides audio content to your subwoofer for deep, rumbling bass performance. Delivering 105W of power to each channel — for a grand total of 525W of output power — your RX-V465 is equipped to surround you with your favorite music or movie soundtrack.
Digital audio processing from the big boys
Audiophiles look to Dolby and dts digital audio decoding for the highest level in home audio performance. As an audiophile, you look to the RX-V465 from Yamaha, featuring the most advanced Dolby and dts technologies. First, Dolby TrueHD delivers tantalizing sound that is bit-for-bit identical to the studio master, unlocking the true high-definition experience. Second, Dolby Digital Plus combines the efficiency needed to meet future broadcast demands with the power and flexibility to realize the full audio potential of the upcoming high-definition experience. This multi-channel audio standard was designed for the formats of the future, but remains fully compatible with all current AV receivers. Third, Dolby Pro Logic IIx includes an added center-rear channel. Finally, dts-DH Master Audio, Neo:6, 96/24, and ES deliver sound quality that matches the clear and vivid images of high-definition video. Movies come alive with sound as lifelike as the picture, and music becomes as real as a live performance.
Ahh, Bluetooth
Letting you enjoy music wirelessly from Bluetooth enabled mobile phones, portable devices, or personal computes, the RX-V465 is equipped to use the optional YBA-10 Bluetooth Wireless Audio Receiver. The optional YBA-10 both lets you connect the dock to the receiver and supports A2DP audio streaming.
Going beyond CD audio
You're ready to take your home audio experience beyond your personal CD collection and local radio broadcasts, and you're looking for the receiver that will take you there. With the RX-V465 from Yamaha, you're prepared to make that move. If you venture into the realm of compressed audio — think MP3, portables. . . something called the "iPod" — your new RX-V465 is ready with iPod compatibility. Simply hook the optional YDS-10 dock to your RX-V465, your iPod to the dock, and, POW, you've got a whole new world of audio at your disposal.
Enhanced audio is happy audio
Taking the experience of your portable audio at home one step further, the RX-V465 features compressed audio restoration technology. Most portable audio formats — like MP3, for example — are compressed audio formats. This means that some audio information (usually higher and lower frequency information) has been removed in order to shrink the file, allowing you to fit more songs into the same memory space. Your RX-V465's sophisticated digital signal processing with exclusive algorithms enable playback that improves the performance of compressed music formats, including MP3 and WMA. With the Compressed Music Enhancer, highs and especially lows are richer and smoother, bringing music back to life and as close to the original as possible. Experience your portable audio like never before, at home.
Your RX-V465 tailors itself to your room, your system
Using YPAO automatic system calibration technology, your new RX-V465 automatically optimizes your audio system's performance to the acoustics of your listening area. With a small microphone and sophisticated equalization technology, YPAO first checks the speaker connections and phase of each speaker. Then it sends out tones which are captured by the microphone to analyze the room acoustics and sets a variety of parameters, such as the speaker size, the distance of the speakers and even the sound pressure level until it achieves the best sound conditions for your room. Your RX-V465 has an improved system that is faster (requiring less than three minutes), adjusts frequency response, and provides three programmed EQ patterns, plus the ability to manually adjust parametric EQ settings. Six YPAO settings can be held in memory and recalled via two system memory buttons on the remote control.
The HD connection
Bringing you the absolute best in connectivity, Yamaha's RX-V465 features four HDMI inputs and one output. HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is the only interface in consumer electronics that can carry both uncompressed high-definition (HD) video and uncompressed multi-channel audio in all HD formats including 720p, 1080i and even 1080p. Your incoming media content comes in a variety of sizes, resolutions and formats, and with that in mind, HDMI systems automatically configure to display that content in the most effective format. Since HDMI carries all channels on video and audio, there is only one cable to plug into any HDMI-enabled source and display device. No more complicated cable set-up when installing your home theater system, and no more ugly cable mess behind your components. HDMI supports standard, enhanced, or high-definition video, plus multi-channel digital audio on this single cable. Also, HDMI is fully backward-compatible with DVI.
SCENE — A new level of operating ease
Four SCENE buttons on the included remote control make operating the RX-V465 easier than ever. The four buttons are initially set to default settings for DVD Viewing, Disc Listening, TV Viewing and Radio Listening. Pressing a SCENE button automatically launches a number of operations that initiate play of the source controlled by that button. Other SCENE settings are also available, such as iPod Listening, TV Sports Viewing and Action Game Playing. Browsing and selecting the settings is quickly accomplished by rotating the Input knob and watching the on-screen display. The settings can be selected for one-time use, or they can replace the original default settings. The SCENE names can be changed, also.
Avoid the 'No Wire' ire
The advent of HDMI has been monumental in the advancement of all your favorite audio and video gadgets. Don't miss out on all that your new RX-V465 offers — in terms of high-definition audio and video connectivity — by leaving a set of HDMI cables off the list.
