Yamaha 5.1 Channel AV Receiver RXV471

USB Digital Connection for iPod and iPhone

A USB port on the front panel provides convenient connection for your iPod/iPhone, which also charges when connected. Because the digital signal from the iPod/iPhone is transmitted directly to the AV Receiver, noise interference is minimized and sound quality is much better.



HDMI with 3D and Audio Return Channel

1080p HDMI with 3D and Audio Return Channel (4 In/ 1 Out) deliver crystal-clear, all-digital audio and video via a single cable, HDMI dramatically simplifies cabling and helps provide consumers with the highest-quality home theater experience. HDMI can provide an interface between most audio/video sources, such as a set-top box, Blu-ray player, DVD player, or A/V receiver and a video monitor, such as a High Definition Television (HDTV), over a single cable.

Audio Return Channel (ARC) is a distinctive 3D-ready function allows consumers to use a single HDMI connection to transfer digital audio from the TV back to the AV Receiver eliminating the need for a second cable between the TV and the home theater AV Receiver.



HD Audio with CINEMA DSP 3D

CINEMA DSP 3D provides a wide, high and dense sound field. HD Audio format decoding lets you enjoy HD Audio sources. Virtual Presence Speaker delivers 3-dimensional sound without actual use of presence speakers.

The actually measured sound field data contain the information of the height of the sound images. CINEMA DSP 3D mode achieves the reproduction of the accurate height of the sound images so that it creates the accurate and intensive stereoscopic sound fields in a listening room.



On-Screen GUI (Graphical User Interface)

This clean and simple interface makes setup and other operations extremely easy. The on-screen display can show album art, provides a choice of various languages and is visible over 3D images.



SCENE for One-Touch Start

The Four SCENE buttons make operating the receiver easier than ever. They are initially set to default settings for BD/DVD Viewing, CD Disc Listening, TV Viewing and Radio Listening. Pressing a SCENE button will automatically launch a number of operations that initiate play of the source controlled by that button. Other SCENE settings are also available, such as iPod Listening, SiriusXM Listening [model dependent], TV Sports Viewing and Action Game Playing. Browsing and selecting the settings is quickly accomplished by changing Input via the front panel 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.



YPAO Automatically Sets the Best Sound for Any Room

Yamaha’s YPAO system uses a small microphone and sophisticated equalization to automatically set the best sound for any room, no matter where the speakers are. First it checks the speaker connections and phase of each speaker. Then it sends out tones which are captured by the microphone to analyze the room acoustics and sets a variety of parameters, such as the speaker size, the distance of the speakers and even the sound pressure level, etc. Until it achieves the best sound conditions for your room and you don't have to do anything!



Compressed Music Enhancer

When music is encoded into a digitally compressed format like MP3, the frequency response suffers. This function restores what was lost, so your music always sounds the way it should.



Eco-Friendly Design



The RX-V471 has a low standby power consumption of 0.1W (1.2W in HDMI Standby Through mode) and an Auto Power Down feature (selectable to 4, 8 or 12 hours) which help make this an environmentally friendly receiver

Optional Accessories for Added Convenience

Yamaha Docks make it easy to enjoy your favorite music from your iPod or iPhone, with or without cables. With the YDS-12, all you have to do is set the unit in the cradle. 
Universal Dock for iPod/iPhone YDS-12 
yAired Wireless Dock System YID-W10 
Bluetooth® Wireless Audio Receiver YBA-10

Great Value and Great Quality

By: Sports Guy
Date: Monday, May 07, 2012

The manual could have been written more clearly and supplied with the unit. On the other hand, this is a great piece of equipment and a great value. The Yamaha receiver that it replaced (14 years old) is still going strong!

3rd time is a charm!

By: Cherman
Date: Monday, May 07, 2012

Tried a Pioneer and a Sony. Took them both back for compatability and setup issues. This Yamaha fit like it was made for us. Using Bose speakers with a Cerwin Vega sub woofer. Sound is AWESOME even at low volume. (wife loves the volume part) Auto setup was easy and tweeking system is simple.

Good for the price

By: Ken
Date: Tuesday, April 24, 2012

This receiver replaced a 12 year old top of the line Onkyo that was starting to have problems. It was very well priced, and sounds comparable to the Onkyo it replaces. The automated setup was a breeze and the whole thing took less than an hour to get hooked up and running. My only problem is what others have noticed, an occasional dropping out of the sound for maybe a half second every once in a while. Maybe once every two or three hours.

Excellent 5.1 system!

By: Allen D
Date: Monday, April 23, 2012

The only negative I can say is that when turning on the system it does not stay on the last output used. It initially is set on it but changes after about 3 seconds. There may be a way to get it to stay but I have not found it yet.
