In dit topic alleen de nieuwe lijn van yamaha (440, 540, 640, 740) oftwel receivers tot een prijsklasse van 550 euro. Voor anderen receivers graag naar een ander topic, dit om de overzichtelijkheid te bewaren.
Er is nog een model van 900 euro, de 1300. Voor info daarvan zie de yamaha.nl site, deze versie zal over 2/3 weken een revisie krijgen. Gezien de prijsklasse van dit model is deze niet relevant aan dit topic, maar ik wou het toch even melden.

De RX-V440
is het meest betaalbaar en is ongeveer weer hetzelfde als de 540, maar heeft maar 1 optical in en deze receiver is zonder video conversion, S-video en digitale uitput.. 6 x 90 watt - 1kHz bij 8 OHM, 0.7% THD
Voor elk apart deel van de achterkant van de receivers uitvergroot te bekijken is http://www.yamaha.com/yec/products/backpanels/backpanels.htm geweldig.
Dit http://www.yamaha.com/yec/products/compare/recvr_16.htm is ook een geinig vergelijkings tabelletje en heel erg overzichtelijk.

Press release:
YAMAHA INTRODUCES NEW SERIES OF HIGH-PERFORMANCE, YET EASILY AFFORDABLE, 6.1 CHANNEL AV RECEIVERS
—Four New Models Redefine the Affordable Home Theater Experience with the latest Surround Sound Formats and High Amplification for Premium Sound—
BUENA PARK, CA–Yamaha Electronics, an industry leader in home theater products, has introduced four new digital home theater receivers that enhance the overall home theater experience at a variety of reasonable price points, beginning as low as $299 MRSP. The 6.1 channel RX-V740, RX-V640, RX-V540 and RX-V440 receivers feature Cinema DSP, Dolby Pro Logic II, Dolby Digital-EX, DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 and DTS neo:6. All models have high-current discrete amplification for the highest quality sound reproduction, plus a new, easy-to-use set up menu with 5-band center channel EQ with speaker distance adjustment and night listening modes.
The RX-V740, with a suggested retail price of $599, is a highly sophisticated 6.1 channel A/V receiver that features Dolby ProLogic II, Dolby Digital-EX, DTS-ES Discrete 6.1, DTS neo:6, Digital ToP-ART, an on-screen display and a preset remote control with an LCD display. Another key feature is up video conversion from composite to S-video, to provide high-quality picture from all video components connected to the receiver for optimal viewing.
With its enhanced directional steering, DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 offers six fully independent channels of sound with an extra rear center speaker that has its own separate effects providing unparalleled quality sound from a receiver in this category.
In addition Dolby Pro Logic II and DTS Neo 6 provide 5.1-channel surround processing from any stereo source––even from two-channel CDs, tapes, VHS and LPs––and delivers full-bandwidth stereo surround channels.
Yamaha's Digital ToP-ART technology maximizes digital quality while minimizing analog circuitry by bringing together several key elements to create the best-sounding, user friendly A/V components available. These elements include high-current discrete amplification, Linear Dampening Factor for the left and right channels, and low impedance drive with discrete circuitry to all channels. Also offered are Zone 2 audio out capabilities with I/R port, extended I/R codes and pre-outs for all channels. Zone 2 has the ability to drive a set of stereo speakers in another room using an external power amplifier.
Rated at 90W x 6 high discrete power (20Hz-20 kHz), the receiver is able to deliver sophisticated DSP processing enabled by the YSS-938, a 32-bit Floating-Point LSI that yields 24 DSP programs with 44 possible variations.
Cinema DSP provides an audio experience that not only sounds like a theater, but actually sounds better than most theaters. Cinema DSP is designed to bring out the full potential of movie sound formats, reproducing them the way directors and sound engineers intended them to be heard. And, for listening to late-night multi-channel presentations in privacy, it uses Silent Cinema, which provides a 5.1 channel listening experience using a pair of ordinary two-channel headphones.
Other features include six-channel analog inputs for external decoders to accommodate the latest six-channel high-resolution audio formats like DVD-Audio, SACD (or other future formats); four optical and one coaxial input terminal; one optical output terminal; front-panel A/V inputs; S-video optical inputs; and a phono input. Moreover, 96 kHz/24-bit digital-to-analog converters are used for all six channels.
Next in the series is the RX-V640 discrete 85W x 6 A/V receiver (20Hz-20kHz), which replaces the RX-V630 and is priced at $499. This new model has all of the features of the RX-V740 except for the on-screen display, the LCD remote control, phono input connection and an aluminum front panel.
The RX-V540, priced at $399, replaces the RX-V530 and is a 6.1-channel home theater receiver that is rated at discrete 80 watts x 6 channels (20Hz-20kHz). This receiver also features the YSS-938 32-bit Floating-Point LSI yielding 24 DSP programs with 44 possible variations, Dolby ProLogic II, Dolby Digital-EX, DTS-ES Discrete 6.1, DTS neo:6, and Cinema DSP processing.
Other important features include up video conversion from composite to s-video at a new low price point; six-channel analog inputs for external decoders to accommodate future formats; three optical and one coaxial input terminal, one optical output terminal; a front panel A/V input; A/B speaker switching; and a preset remote control.
The most affordable receiver in the new series is the RX-V440, which replaces the RX-V420 and is priced at $299. This unit has all of the features of the RX-V530, but only has one optical and one coaxial digital input terminal, one optical digital output terminal, and is without video conversion and S-video connections.
Als je dus voor een nieuwe receiver ging kijken, skip alles en hoor yamaha bij je hifi specialist, ik vind het in ieder geval de beste receivers in deze klasse.
