Quick, accurate auto setup

Preset "SCENE" buttons for easy operation

Plus, you can individually reprogram each button for different activities of your choice, such as playing video games, listening to MP3s, and more.

iPod integration
When you add the optional Yamaha YDS-10 dock to this receiver, your iPod becomes a fully integrated component in your A/V system. You can view its menu on your TV and select songs, photos, or videos using the receiver's remote. Switch on Yamaha's special audio mode to enhance the sound of compressed music files, and you're ready to enjoy your entire digital music library through your best speakers.
