RATING: 4.8/5.0

Welcome to a review of Yamaha’s RX-V675, 7.2 CH Network AV Receiver with Apple Airplay. With a 7-channel surround sound, the RX-V675 was made to produce an awesome sound experience. Intelligent Amp Assign automatically assigns amplifier channels to certain speakers depending on the functions selected. For example, in a 7.1-channel system, when Zone 2 is off, all 7.1 channels will be used in the Main Zone. However, when Zone 2 is on, power to the two surround back channels will be directed to the two speakers in Zone 2 and the Main Zone will receive 5.1 channels of power. Similarly, when CINEMA DSP 3D is on, the two Front Presence speakers will be powered and not the two surround back speakers. When CINEMA DSP 3D is off, this situation is reversed. Thanks to Intelligent Amp Assign, there’s no need to switch the speaker cables on the rear of the receiver.

This AV receiver’s HDMI input/output supports 4K video image pass-through. It can also perform 4K up-scaling to boost a lower resolution image to super high-definition resolution. This ensures compatibility with the most current video formats. You can adjust all the settings using the easy to use remote control, part number ZF269900.

3D means the receiver can handle 3D signal data. The Audio Return Channel function enables data to be sent and received via the same HDMI cable so you can hear the sound from the TV via a single HDMI cable with no need for an extra optical cable. In addition to the large number of HDMI inputs on the rear panel, there is also one on the front panel. This gives you a convenient way to quickly plug in a digital camera or camcorder for high quality pictures. Consumers are very pleased with the performance of the RX-V675 receiver. If you are serious about your entertainment, this might be the one to check out.
