YAMAHA FOCUSES ON HD PERFORMANCE AND 2
CONVENIENCE WITH LATEST HTIB SYSTEMS
-MORE-
Offering seamless operation with high AV performance, all systems feature
Yamaha’s SCENE modes, a series of four buttons that allow users to instantly ready the
system for any entertainment experience by powering the unit, selecting the correct input
and surround sound combination. All systems are compatible with iPods via the optional
YDS-11 dock (MSRP: $99.95; included with the YHT-791) and Bluetooth devices via the
Yamaha YBA-10 wireless audio receiver (MSRP: $129.95), two proprietary audio
technologies, Compressed Music Enhancer to improve sound of “ripped” music files and
Cinema DSP signal processing. Front panel mini-jacks make it easy to connect portable
audio players.
The HD-ready YHT-791 system, featuring a 7.1-channel AV receiver (90W x 7),
a 7-channel speaker package backed by a 100W powered subwoofer and four
1080p-compatible HMDI inputs, delivers movies, television and music with powerful
presence and gripping dynamics. Advanced HD audio format decoding (Dolby TrueHD
and DTS-HD MasterAudio; Dolby Digital Plus and DTS-HD High Resolution Audio),
Burr-Brown 192 kHz/24-bit DACs for all channels, and a direct mode that bypasses
non-essential internal circuitry, also make it a standout for HTiB systems at its price
point.
The YHT-791 offers two-way satellite speakers reinforced by a 10-inch,
100-watt YST II subwoofer, faithfully rendering every sonic nuance, from subtle quiet
passages to the most intense moments. In addition to its HDMI connectivity, the system
delivers analog video upscaling to full HD 1080p and Auto Lip-Sync compensation to
ensure the picture and sound match up perfectly without requiring the manual adjustment
of complex settings. Yamaha’s proprietary YPAO technology allows users to
automatically set up their speakers for optimized sound. The YHT-791 comes with the
Yamaha YDS-11 iPod dock for high quality audio playback from the portable devices
through a home entertainment system.
