The new multi-channel receivers offer stunning 5.1 (RX-V383 / RX-V483) and 7.2 (RX-V583 / RX-V683) surround sound in the living room. Using the new audio standards Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, RX-V583 and RX-V683 can be set up as 5.2.2 systems to create vivid three-dimensional soundscapes in the home theatre. The V83 series is compatible with both HDR and the new standard Dolby Vision, creating brilliant pictures with increased contrast and a greater range of vivid colours. In addition, the multi-channel receivers support 4K Ultra-HD for high-resolution entertainment.

Yamaha MusicCast makes the new multi-channel receivers RX-483, RX-V583 and RX-V683 the perfect entertainment centrepieces for the whole house: All connected sources are available in every room while each signal from the MusicCast network can be played back in the living room as well. The integrated Wi-Fi functionality can be used to stream your music library from Mac, PC or NAS. Apple Airplay and Bluetooth are also supported, as are all common streaming services. The multi-channel receivers are compatible with the hi-res audio formats FLAC and WAV (192 kHz / 24 bit), DSD (2.8 MHz / 5.6 MHz) as well as Apple Lossless.

As an alternative to the intuitive remote control, all models from the RX-V483 upwards can be operated by smartphone or tablet using the AV Controller app for iOS and Android. The MusicCast app offers intuitive day-to-day control over the whole MusicCast system. The automatic sound optimisation YPAO (RX-V683: YPAO R.S.C) delivers the perfect acoustic configuration.
