- I've read a few posts lately (including my own :-) requesting
- info on the new Yamaha A/V Receivers and Integrated Amplifiers.
- I managed to get some sketchy details, so I thought I'd share
- them. Please note that this info is being transcribed from
- memory so there may be errors.
-
- RX-V570 : New entry-level model with 50 watts/channel across
- the front three channels.
- Same decoder and DSP chips as existing receivers.
-
- RX-V670 : Replaces RX-V660
- Amp power increased to 75 watts/channel across front
- three channels.
- Same decoder and DSP chips as existing receivers.
-
- RX-V870 : Replaces RX-V850
- Same amp power as 850.
- Uses the A1000 DSP chip. The info was vague on whether
- this includes all 23 DSP modes of the A1000 or merely a
- subset. It does include the 70 mm Adventure mode (this
- was explicitly stated).
- On-screen programming/parameter setting (as in A1000).
- S-Video in/out connections.
-
- RX-V1070 : Replaces RX-V1050
- Same amp power as 1050.
- Uses the A1000 DSP chip (see comments above).
- On-screen programming.
-
- DSP-A1000 : Not discontinued. Remains as is.
-
- DSP-A2070 : New top-of-the-line unit.
- Seven channel amp (same power as A1000??).
- Boasts "three times as much DSP power as the A1000"
- using a new DSP chip.
- They claim better DSP programs with increased channel
- separation etc, etc.
- I hope it's all they say it is considering the hefty
- $2000 US price tag.
-
- If anyone knows more about these units, please email, especially
- if any of my info is incorrect. The local dealer predicts availability
- of the new units in late February or early March. Will they be
- available sooner in the US?
