Après l'arrivée du 2600 j'ai l'impression que Yamaha vient de sortir un RX-V4600 Limited Edition
RX-V4600B - Limited Edition
The RX-V4600B 7.1 channel receiver (130W x 7 RMS, 8 ohms, 20Hz-20kHz, 0.04% THD) features the latest HDMI interface and dual i.LINK to provide superior digital data handling, and offers a range of advanced features, including Pure Direct for high quality sound reproduction, high-performance Cinema DSP and THX Select2 processing and enhanced Zone control capability, making it an obvious choice for the discerning home theatre enthusiast.
Digital data handling capability With its HDMI switching, the RX-V4600B provides the most advanced method of delivering high quality video to your home cinema system. Digital transmission of the video signal ensures that there is no deterioration in quality, so you can now enjoy DVD and satellite TV with HD quality - and only a single cable is needed for connection. And because the RX-V4600B is compatible with the latest HDMI format, it can decode digital audio signals received via HDMI, including DVD-Audio, CD, Dolby Digital and DTS. Dual i.LINK terminals (IEEE1394) on the RX-V4600B also provide digital connections for DVD-Audio Linear PCM, Super Audio CD, DSD (Direct Stream Digital) and other high quality audio sources.
Superior sound reproduction The RX-V4600B combines the best in design and componentry to deliver superior sound quality. The Digital ToP-ART design concept combines the latest and best technologies, parts and circuit designs, while High Current Amplification uses the finest superior components to achieve high current power with low impedance from input to output. And with Pure Direct mode, you’re able to experience the highest possible signal purity. Pure Direct can be used for both analogue and digital sources, with two-channel or multi-channel inputs.
Surround realism Using Yamaha’s ultra-sophisticated Quad-Field CINEMA DSP technology, the RX-V4600B creates realistic and dynamic soundscapes in your lounge room or home theatre. Twenty-two surround programmes offer you extensive listening choices and full format compatibility, including the latest THX Select2 format – derived from the THX Theatre sound processing developed for cinemas.
The RX-V4600B also extends your listening options, with Night Listening Enhancer to provide full dynamic range at low volumes and SILENT CINEMA, which makes it possible to experience full surround sound enjoyment through ordinary headphones. And with Virtual CINEMA DSP, you can enjoy the effects of Dolby Digital and DTS movie sound formats even if you don’t have surround speakers.
Advanced features The RX-V4600B features dedicated Zone Control switches on the front panel, including a button that allows you to adjust the volume and select sources for Zones 2 and 3. A newly designed, dedicated Zone 2/3 remote unit is also included with the RX-V4600B. This remote provides a convenient way to turn your zone power on and off, choose a source and adjust the volume when you are in Zone 2 or Zone 3.
Operating this receiver is easy and intuitive, thanks to a newly designed on-screen display or GUI (Graphical User Interface) that also allows you to select from four display languages: English, German, French and Japanese.
And with YPAO, you’re able to achieve the best possible sound for any room. Yamaha’s YPAO system uses a small microphone and sophisticated equalisation to automatically set the best sound for any room, no matter where the speakers are. It’s also possible to customise settings manually, and on the RX-V4600B, six YPAO settings can be held in memory and recalled via two system memory buttons on the remote control.
