Yamaha RX-V2700 Receiver Review

The Yamaha RX-V2700 AV Receiver boasts HDMI 1.2a to decode high res audio like DVD-A and SACD. It does all of your video upconversion and more. The RX-V2700 provides features and sound quality.

Packed with more features than any receiver in its class ; Excellent amplifier performance and fidelity ; HDMI ver. 1.2a for DVD-A/SACD ; PCM audio decoding from re-encoded DD+, TrueHD, dts-HD soundtracks via HDMI ; Scaling up to 1080i and 1080p pass thru

Average HDMI Scalar performance ; Erroneous HDMI operation (see notes in review) ; Some minor bass management anomalies (see notes in review) ; YPAO still not at level of some competitor systems ; A bit overwhelming to setup

Yamaha RX-V2700 7.1 A/V Receiver

Over the years, I have reviewed a number of Yamaha's mid-range receivers and have always liked their design and the value they offered. However, I was curious about what stepping up to a more expensive Yamaha model would yield, so I was very excited to...

Yamaha RX-V2700 A/V Receiver

Yamaha launches itself to the front of the convergent media pack with its new all-in-one receiver unit.

You also use the GUI and remote to browse and select the contents of a docked iPod, a flash drive plugged into the front USB port, audio from shared folders on a networked PC (via Microsoft's Windows Media Connect 2.0), and podcasts and Internet radio...

Yamaha RX-V361 Review and Prices

In the world of inexpensive A/V receivers, the Yamaha RX-V361 is everything an entry-level AV receiver should be and then some. A total of 500 total watts (into five channels), Dolby Digital and DTS decoders built in, and component switching at this...

Plenty of power, MP3 Player compatible, great value

no HDMI or on-screen display, spring clip speaker terminals for center and surrounds, only 5-channel surround

Yamaha RX-V2700

It all started poorly when I removed the Yamaha RX-V2700 from its box. The first thing I was greeted with was a whopping, tacky-looking sticker adorning the front panel of the receiver. While the sticker highlights the Yamaha's 1080p and HDMI...

The Yamaha RX-V2700 is a bit like having a girlfriend who's a superb cook but has an ugly face. The good thing about owning the 2700 is that it's much easier to hide the receiver down the back of the room on your stereo rack than asking your girlfriend...

Yamaha RX-V2700 Receiver Review

We test Yamaha's current high end receiver which seems to offer every connection possible, but is it future proof?

Excellent audio quality and amplifier power ; Ethernet & USB connections ; Price ; Build Quality ; Feature packed ; Good quality video processing ; Accepts PCM multi channel sound from your HD player via HDMI 1.2a ; Connectivity

No 1080p scaling, you have to force 1080/24 in pass-though ; Remote control is too busy and complicated to use ; YPAO EQ is not as accurate as other systems available
