Yamaha Electronics Corporation has introduced two affordable A/V digital home theatre receivers, the RX-V2400 and RX-V1400. The mid-priced RX-V2400 (120 watts x 7) and RX-V1400 (110 watts x 7) feature seven-channel amplification and utilize Yamahaís Digital ToP-ART (Total Purity Audio Reproduction Technology) design concept to optimize digital sound quality, with several operation modes that provide short, direct signal paths. A 32-bit proprietary LSI provides digital signal processing.

Proprietary internal surround decoding and ambience processing in the two receivers are enabled by the YSS-930, a 32-bit floating-point LSI that yields 29 DSP programs with 49 possible variations in the RX-V2400. The RX-V1400 offers 28 DSP programs (with 48 variations), including SILENT CINEMA mode for enjoying surround-like sound through conventional headphones. Both units also offer an extensive range of inputs and outputs, including easier-to-use custom installation features.The RX-V2400 ($999) and RX-V1400 ($799) will be available September 2003.For more information about Yamaha Electronics Corporation, visit www.yamaha.com/yec.
