The RX-V663 features time-tested Yamaha construction to deliver thrilling home theater audio performance. You get seven channels of clean, high-current amplification and exclusive Yamaha Cinema DSP processing that can transform all your movies, music, and TV shows into powerful, room-filling surround sound. It also includes built-in decoding for Dolby® True HD and DTS-HD® Master Audio — two up and coming high-resolution surround sound formats available with some Blu-ray Disc™ players and movie titles.
Quick, accurate auto setup
Yamaha's sophisticated YPAO auto-calibration system enables easy, precise home theater setup. Plug in the included microphone and place it in your favorite seat. The receiver analyzes the size, volume, relative distance, and frequency response of every speaker in your home theater system, adjusting the settings for each one individually. In minutes, your receiver configures itself for optimum performance with your specific speakers and their placement within the room.
Versatile video switching with analog-to-HDMI conversion
This receiver's HDMI connections let you switch easily between two digital video sources — like a high-def satellite or cable box and a Blu-ray player — while maintaining pristine picture quality for both. And analog-to-HDMI conversion means you can send all of your older, non-digital video sources to your TV through a single HDMI cable. Select components using the receiver's remote — you'll never have to switch inputs on your TV again.
Preset "SCENE" buttons for easy operation
Yamaha's special SCENE modes let you get to your entertainment sources in a hurry. Just press one of the four preset SCENE buttons on the receiver's front panel or remote, and the 'V663 automatically switches to the correct input setting and sound mode for DVD viewing, disc listening, TV viewing, or radio listening. Plus, you can individually reprogram each button for different activities of your choice, such as playing video games, iPod listening with an optional docking station, and more.
