An endlessly entertaining receiver thats full of character. What Hi-Fi Sound & Vision magazine, 5 star review. FUTURE-PROOFED WITH 4K VIDEO UPSCALING AND HDMI 2.0 The Yamaha RX-V677 is one of the very first AV receivers to offer HDMI 2.0 standard sockets. HDMI 2.0 is an enhanced version of HDMI using the same connection but offering many technical advantages. These include the ability to handle 50/60 frames per second from 4K signals, 18-bit colour, 32 channel surround sound, plus much more. In conjunction with this new standard of HDMI, the RXV677 also offers 4K upscaling. Offering four times the resolution of 1080p, 4K or, Ultra HD, offers greater realism than ever. With 4K TVs far more readily available this year, by equipping this Yamaha AV receiver with 4K upscaling, Yamaha have engineered in comprehensive levels of future proofing. In the meantime you can also upscale signals to 1080p for the best image quality with Full HD TVs and projectors. The HDMI sockets also allow 4K pass-through, for hassle free switching and viewing without the receiver needing to be turned on. EXCELLENT SOUND QUALITY The Yamaha RX-V677 makes the most of Yamahas Total Purity Concept for the most natural sound quality possible. Combining high drive amp technology, high purity pre-amplification, anti-vibration construction and independent power supplies, the RXV677 offers a remarkably pure and precise sound quality. With power at 90 watts per channel, the RXV677 has the power to really drive soundtracks hard, with thunderous explosions being felt as well as heard! The extra power over lower models also improves the bass extension, too. ADVANCED NETWORKING INCLUDING APPLES AIRPLAY AND WI-FI Built-in Apple AirPlay means that you can stream music from your Apple iPod Touch, iPhone, iPad or other compatible Apple device, wirelessly! Furthermore, you can view data such as song title, artist name as well as album art* via the AV receivers on-screen display. *Some models dont support album art display. If you use an HTC smartphone you can make use of the standard HTC Connect; letting you wirelessly stream music from your device. With a DLNA certified LAN connection, its easy to hook up to your home network hub. From here you can access your stored music from PC, laptop or NAS drive and also listen to Internet radio stations and music services.

Now featuring Wi-Fi connectivity, its easier than ever to connect up to your home network. COMPREHENSIVE SOCKETRY INCLUDING The Yamaha RXV677 features a front-mounted HDMI socket with MHL (Mobile High-Definition Link). This lets you hook up suitable mobile phones and tablets and enjoy video playback, via HDMI at up to Full HD 1080p resolution. There are also five HDMI sockets at the rear; enough for connecting up even the most full-on AV systems. Twin subwoofer outputs let you connect two subs in the room for a more balanced bass response and also the opportunity to use smaller but faster sounding subs without sacrificing the ultimate bass depth. If you have an iPod/iPhone or MP3 player, youll appreciate the front panel mounted USB, too. By connecting to the USB, youll benefit from a digital connection. This gives a direct signal and, hence, purer sound quality than using a conventional dock or analogue input. Plus it also charges your iPod/iPhone, too! Finally, the RX-V677 also features a Zone 2 output. This lets you output an audio signal, actively or passively, in another room. With its ideal blend of power, convenience and features, the Yamaha RXV677 is, as ever, an impressive all-rounder.
