Advanced Features
SCENE — A New Level of Operating
Ease
Four SCENE buttons make operating the
receiver easier than ever. They are initially
set to default settings for DVD Movie
Viewing, Music 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.
Improved YPAO Sound Optimisation
The RX-V661 has an improved YPAO
system that automatically selects the
crucial frequency bands for the listening
room, and adjusts the level of the selected
bands to create a cohesive sound field in
the room. You can vary the type of the
parametric equalizer adjustment among
Natural, Flat and Front.
Independent Operation of Zone 2
You can enjoy sound in a separate room
(Zone 2) because the RX-V661 provides
Zone 2 audio output. Furthermore, Zone 2
power amplifier assignability and speaker
terminals mean that Zone 2 can be fully
independent with its own 2-channel
power, while you still enjoy 5.1-channel
sound in the main room.
Digital ToP-ART with Superior Audio-
Grade Parts and Devices Used
Throughout
Yamaha’s Digital ToP-ART concept
combines the latest and best technologies,
parts and circuit designs to maximize
sound quality. These include an 12,000μF
custom-made block capacitor, high grade
Burr-Brown DACs, and two direct signal
path speaker relays and other high quality
audio-grade parts. High Current
Amplification uses superior components to
achieve high current power and low
impedance from the low-noise power
supply to the speaker terminals.
Pure Direct for Highest Sound Quality
Pure Direct is a special receiver mode that
causes the signal to bypass all but the
most basic audio circuitry, and even turns
off the display to prevent any chance of
noise interference. It provides the purest
possible high fidelity sound from all
sources including HDMI inputs.
HDMI Ver. 1.2a with Support for
Super Audio CD
This receiver incorporates the High-
Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI)
1.2a specification. Listeners can enjoy
crystal-clear, digital audio quality via a
single HDMI cable, including Super
Audio CD.
1080p Compatible HDMI Inputs and
Output
This receiver features dual HDMI inputs
and one output that support 1080p (1,920
x 1,080 progressive) resolution so users
can connect two HDMI sources, such as a
DVD player and a high definition set-top
box, and enjoy the highest possible quality
with a 1080p display.
Video Up-conversion and Component
Video Output with TBC
The RX-V661 is equipped with high-
definition video up-conversion circuitry
incorporating high-performance video
encoder/decoders from Analog Devices. A
Time Base Corrector (TBC) transforms
degraded analogue video signals into a
stable format for distortion-free viewing.
Upgraded CINEMA DSP Programmes
Yamaha’s popular CINEMA DSP
programmes have been upgraded for this
receiver. Action and Role playing games
deliver awesome sound with the latest
game machines. Other programmes have
been fine-tuned for even better sound and
revised for easier selection.
Compressed Music Enhancer
When music is encoded in a digital
compressed format such as MP3,
frequency response suffers in the high and
low ranges. Yamaha employs sophisticated
digital signal processing with exclusive
algorithms, enabling faithful reproduction
of the original music, for the excellent
sound quality expected from top class
receivers.
