ITEM DESCRIPTION FROM B&H WEBSITE:The Yamaha RX-V367 5.1 Channel Home Theater Receiver has an entry-level price but its got high-end features like four HDMI 1.4 inputs. HDMI 1.4 is the latest version of the specification for carrying video and audio together on one cable in pure digital form from source to set. And with a future firmware update your V367 will be 3-D compatible. So you can build your 3-D system gradually, as your budget allows.Another advanced feature of this low cost home theater receiver is its support for 10-bit and even 12-bit color, which means it can pass along billions of colors for the sharpest pictures with the smoothest transitions from color to color.So its going to pass great pictures from your DVD or Blu-ray player to your high definition TV. But what about the sound? Thats where Yamahas years of experience really pay off. Your V367 can put out more than 500 watts of audio power. (If you add a subwoofer it has to be self powered so its wattage will vary according to its rating.)Its also an AM/FM receiver with 40 station presets you can let the V367 scan for you or you can set them yourself.On the audio side of things the V367 goes from strength to strength. Its got the Dolby and DTS surround sound processors youd expect but its also got 17 different additional Yamaha-developed processors. Ray guns never sounded zappier than in Sci-Fi mode. Cinematic spectaculars are even more so in Spectacle mode. You can even make your recordings sound like youre live at LAs Roxy Theatre or New York Citys famous jazz club The Bottom Line.Another way your V367 makes your music sound better is with its compressed music enhancer. Itll make your MP3 and WMA files sound more like the uncompressed originals. And all of your audio will sound its best thanks to 192kHz/24-bit Burr Brown digital/analog converters. Burr Brown, now a part of Texas Instruments, has been in the forefront of high-performance electronic signal processing for more than 50 years.Optional equipment available for your V367 includes an iPod/iPhone dock and a Bluetooth receiver. The dock is compatible with most recent iPods and iPhones. The Bluetooth receiver supports A2DP music, a common format for music-capable phones and portable music players.Your Yamaha RX-V367 5.1 Channel Home Theater Receiver can be the core of an outstanding personal cinema right in your own living room. You pick the speakers, DVD or Blu-ray player and TV and your V367 will tie them all together.Four HDMI 1.4 Inputs and One Output Are Ready For 3-D UpgradeAre you joining the 3-D revolution? Youll need a program source like a 3-D Blu-ray player with a 3-D disc and a 3-D capable HDTV. Now when you run the signal from your 3-d Blu-ray player to your 3-D TV through most A/V receiver and home theater units, guess what? The 3-D part gets stripped away because only a handful of home theater receivers can handle 3-D. But the V367 is built for HDMI 1.4, the first version of HDMI thats 3-D compatible. With a future firmware update your V367 will be fully 3-D compatible.30 and 36 Bit x.v.Color/Deep Color CompatibleYour V367 is capable of reproducing exceptionally rich, vibrant colors, with smooth, detailed gradation. In fact it can pass along literally billions of colors so theres no color banding that can occur even in high definition programming.Dolby and DTS Surround Sound CodecsVirtually all DVDs and Blu-ray discs of recent movies have audio encoded in one or more surround systems. Whether you own just two speakers or all five with a subwoofer (5.1 surround sound) your V367 will get the most out of your movie soundtracks.Cinema DSP DigitalConventional multichannel audio reproduction systems base their sound on Dolby Digital and DTS decoding, using matrix and steering technologies to create surround sound effects. Yamaha CINEMA DSP is much more advanced, actually creating richly realized independent sound fields that envelop you in an unmatched surround sound experience. With dialogue, music and effects ideally located in these separate sound fields, youll hear sound with accurate placement, smooth movement, exceptional clarity and richness, and startlingly realistic presence. It will seem as if the walls of your room have disappeared and you are in the middle of your own immense theater! The decoding circuitry performs Dolby Pro Logic IIx, Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital EX, DTS Digital Surround, DTS-ES (DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 and DTS-ES Discrete 6.1), DTS Neo:6 and DTS 96/24 decoding with extreme accuracy, as well as all digital sound field processing.SILENT CINEMA and Virtual CINEMA DSPUsing headphones doesnt mean you cant enjoy surround sound. SILENT CINEMA makes it possible to hear large-scale surround sound through ordinary headphones! This is a variation of CINEMA DSP technology that Yamaha developed to let you listen in private to movies and other multi-channel sources for hours without listening fatigue. Virtual CINEMA DSP lets you enjoy the effects of CINEMA DSP surround sound without using surround speakers (handy for use in custom installations where some rooms dont have surround speakers). It can be used with in a front – center – presence speakers configuration or even with just the front left and right speakers.Compressed Music EnhancerYou may have been listening to MP3s on your portable music device or cell phone so much that youve forgotten that the MP3 format is so highly compressed that what you hear is a mere echo of the original recording. Yamaha employs sophisticated digital signal processing with exclusive algorithms to 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 to be as close to the original as possible.SCENE Brings a New Level of Operating EaseFour SCENE buttons make operating the receiver easier than ever. Theyre 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, XM Listening, TV Sports Viewing and Action Game Playing. You can quickly browse and select the settings 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. You can rename SCENE settings too.iPod and Bluetooth Options for Listening to Your Portable Music CollectionThe optional YDS-12 dock is compatible with all the latest iPhone and iPod models, including the iPhone, iPod touch, iPod nano, iPod mini, iPod (4th Gen, 5th Gen and Classic) while still providing the easiest way to connect and control your iPod from your 367 receiver. But Yamaha knows that not every last person on the planet is an Apple fan so it developed the optional YBA-10 Bluetooth wireless audio receiver. It enables you to enjoy wireless music from Bluetooth A2DP enabled mobile phones or personal computers.
