The new ‘Network Receiver’ category in Yamaha’s range only hints at the connectivity possibilities for the RX-N600B. Whether your favourite music files are stored on a portable device, PC, MusicCast or the Internet, they can be conveniently navigated via the supplied remote and the on-screen menu system.

An Ethernet port enables connection to a LAN, immediately transferring archived music to your lounge in stunning 6.1-Surround. Compatibility with Windows Media Connect 2.0 ensures easy access to music stored on PC, while a broadband connection to the vTuner database extends your library to a vast range of worldwide radio-streams and podcasts.

Add a YDS-10S Dock to view iPod™ music, images and video files in the high-quality reproduction they deserve. No iPod™? No problems, there’s also USB included for fast connection to removable devices. The RX-N600B even operates as a Yamaha MusicCast client.

A special Compressed Music Enhancer DSP has been developed to improve high and low response when playing back compressed music formats such as MP3 and WMA. Your digital music collection will sound refreshingly enriched, reproduced in the clarity that it deserves.

The RX-N600B also features Yamaha’s Digital ToP-ART design concept; combining the latest and best technologies, parts and circuit designs to maximise sound quality. As the specifications prove, this approach achieves high current amplification with low impedance, from the power supply circuit right through to the speaker terminals.

The receiver uses extremely high performance 192kHz/24-bit Burr-Brown DACs for all channels. They perform accurate sound field reproduction for high quality multi-channel sources, and provide outstanding separation and precise musical delineation for two-channel stereo, delivering superior low level linearity with excellent full-scale performance.
