converted to HDMI output, with a
Time Base Corrector (TBC) in the
Analog Devices high­performance encoder and
decoder. In addition, the RX­V2600 also uses an Oplus™ high­performance de-interlacer for the
best quality progressive video images (480i to 480p).
It also upscales 480i signals to 1080i/720p high
definition resolution. The de-interlacing and up­scaling technologies used in the RX-V2600 are
superior to those of any other receiver in its class.

Advanced Facilities

HDMI Interface

The RX-V2600 offers 2 in / 1 out
HDMI switching with analog video up-conversion
features, providing the most advanced method of
delivering high quality video signals to a home
cinema system to enable the reproduction of DVD
and satellite TV sources with HD quality. Compatible
with the HDMI Ver. 1.1 format, it can also decode
digital audio signals from sources such as DVD­Audio, CD, Dolby Digital and DTS.

Superior Custom Zone Control

Convenient operation
is assured thanks to
control of Main/Zone
2/Zone 3 power, FM/AM tuning, volume
and input select on the front panel,
along with a Zone 2 on-screen display,
Zone 2/3 tone control for ceiling- or wall­mount speakers and even a separate
Zone Remote Unit. For multi-room
custom installations, power amp
channels can be assigned for Zone 2
and Zone 3 without the need for extra
amplifiers. There is also an RS-232C
interface for a touch-panel controller.

On-Screen Display with GUI

An On-Screen GUI (Graphical User Interface) Display
makes operating the receiver easy
and intuitive. Five display
languages can be selected:
English, Spanish, French, German
and Japanese.

High Sound Quality

Upgraded Pure Direct

Yamaha’s upgraded Pure Direct by bypassing
unnecessary circuits that can contribute to a degradation
in sound quality, while taking a more comprehensive
approach to the influence of the power supply on the
audio signal. In this improved special
listening mode, the highest possible
signal purity is assured for both digital
and analogue sources, in either two­channel or multi-channel input.

Digital ToP-ART and High Current Amplification

The Digital ToP-ART design concept combines the latest
and best technologies, parts and circuit designs to
maximize sound quality. High Current Amplification uses
superior quality components from input to output to
achieve high
current power
with low
impedance.
Also, Yamaha
has completely
re-evaluated all
parts, choosing
only the finest
audio-grade
parts and
devices, such
as Burr-Brown
192 kHz/24-bit
DACs and re­designed
power supply
circuits for massive power and superlative sound quality.
In addition, the amplifiers are assignable for bi-amp
connections.
