Advanced Features
SCENE — A New Level of Operating
Ease
Four SCENE buttons make operating the
receiver easier than ever. They are initially
set to default settings for DVD Movie
Viewing, Music Disc Listening, TV Viewing
and Radio Listening. Pressing a SCENE
button automatically launches a
number of operations that initiate play of
the source controlled by that button. Other
SCENE settings are also available, such as
iPod Listening, TV Sports Viewing and
Action Game Playing. Browsing and
selecting the settings is quickly
accomplished by rotating the Input knob
and watching the on-screen display. The
settings can be selected for one-time use,
or they can replace the original default
settings. The SCENE names can be
changed also.
Improved YPAO Sound Optimisation
The RX-V861 has an improved YPAO
system that automatically selects the
crucial frequency bands for the listening
room, and adjusts the level of the selected
bands to create a cohesive sound field in
the room. You can vary the type of the
parametric equalizer adjustment among
Natural, Flat and Front.
Digital ToP-ART with Superior Audio-
Grade Parts and Devices Used
Throughout
Yamaha’s Digital ToP-ART concept
combines the latest and best technologies,
parts and circuit designs to maximize
sound quality. These include an 12,000
μ
F
custom-made block capacitor (1), high
grade Burr-Brown DACs (2), and two
direct signal path speaker relays (3) and
other high quality audio-grade parts (4).
High Current Amplification uses superior
components to achieve high current power
and low impedance from the low-noise
power supply to the speaker terminals.
HDMI Ver. 1.2a with Support for
Super Audio CD
This receiver incorporates the High-
Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI)
1.2a specification. Listeners can enjoy
crystal-clear, digital audio quality via a
single HDMI cable, including Super
Audio CD.
High-Definition Video Up-scaling
(to 1080i/720p)
The RX-V861 provides analog video up-
conversion of composite, S-Video
480i/576i signals and of component
480i/576i or 480p/576p signals to HDMI
1080i /720p resolutions for optimal
viewing on high definition displays. In
addition, the analogue video signals
deinterlaced from 480i/576i to 480p/576p
are output at HDMI. It uses advanced
processing
including video encoding/decoding ICs
from Analog Devices and a TBC (Time
Base Corrector) to restore degraded video
signals for distortion-free viewing.
1080p Compatible HDMI Inputs and
Output
This receiver features dual HDMI inputs
and one output that support 1080p (1,920
x 1,080 progressive) resolution so users
can connect two HDMI sources, such as a
DVD player and a high definition set-top
box, and enjoy the highest possible quality
with a 1080p display.
Upgraded CINEMA DSP Programmes
Yamaha’s popular CINEMA DSP
programmes have been upgraded for this
receiver. Action and Role playing games
deliver awesome sound with the latest
game machines. Other programmes have
been fine-tuned for even better sound and
revised for easier selection.
Compressed Music Enhancer
When music is encoded in a digital
compressed format such as MP3,
frequency response suffers in the high and
low ranges. Yamaha employs sophisticated
digital signal processing with exclusive
algorithms, enabling faithful reproduction
of the original music, for the excellent
sound quality expected from top class
receivers.
