Make the RX-V2600 the heart of your AV system - with THX Select 2, 130 Watts x 7, superior audio-grade parts, HDMI video conversion, up-scaling to 1080i, fully-optioned zone 2/3 and much more, you’re assured of a spectacular home theatre experience.

The RX-V2600 (130W x 7, 8 ohms, 20Hz-20kHz, 0.04%THD) offers 2-in/1-out HDMI switching with up-conversion features, providing the most advanced method of delivering high-quality video to a home theatre system. This allows you to enjoy DVD and satellite TV with HD quality, and ensures that your receiver is future-proof – fully compatible with the latest display devices. The RX-V2600 can also decode digital audio signals including DVD-Audio, CD, Dolby Digital and DTS.

The RX-V2600 can convert 480p signals to HD resolutions (720p, 1080i), and is the first and only receiver in its class to offer the benefits of superior up-scaling technologies. It also includes HDTV (720p/1080i) compatibility via a component video up conversion feature, which can upgrade composite and S-video signals to component video format for ease of installation.

In addition, the RX-V2600 allows video composite, S-video and component signals to be up-converted to HDMI output, with a TBC (Time Base Corrector) that stabilises the video signal. A video de-interlacer, superior to any other in this class of receiver, effectively delivers best-quality progressive video images.

Worthy successor to the RX-V2500, the RX-V2600 (130W x 7) features powerful 7-channel amplification and employs Yamaha’s Digital ToP-ART (Total Purity Audio Reproduction Technology) design concept to maximise digital sound quality, with several operation modes that provide short, direct signal paths for even greater sound clarity. For true audiophiles, Yamaha’s upgraded Pure Direct Switch now has a zero Intermediate Frequency (IF) and low-jitter Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) circuit, and provides high quality stereo sound reproduction.

Yamaha Parametric Room Acoustic Optimiser (YPAO) completely simplifies the setup process for your home theatre by automatically analysing room acoustics and setting parameters for optimum sound quality at the listening position, all at the touch of a button. The entire process takes less than three minutes––and with YPAO, you can be assured of ‘professionally calibrated’ surround sound quality. Six YPAO settings can be stored in the receiver’s memory.
