Get it together!
In this digital age we live in, you get your music from a lot of sources. You have your CDs in the living room, internet radio, satellite radio in the car, an iPod for working out to, and a handful of songs on your music phone. It's great to have such a wide array of audio at your disposal, but it can also be pretty inconvenient when the music source you want is not where you are. Well, at least it used to be. The RX-V2065BL from Yamaha makes simplifying your entire music library simple. And when we say entire, we're not kidding. First of all, this receiver features an ethernet port and DLNA certification to signify it will easily connect to your home network. This allows it to play MP3, WMA, or WAV files from up to 15 different PCs on your home network when used with Windows Media Connect ver. 2 or later. But it also gives you access to the full spectrum of internet radio stations as well as to Rhapsody music service (with a subscription). If hooked up to the internet, it can also serve as a client in the Yamaha MusicCast2 system. This lets it be controlled by the MCX-RC1000 Network Music Commander, and with three-zone output, this is a great way to add three clients to your system without adding three different players. But that's just the beginning. The RXV2065 has plenty of connectivity options to connect to players of physical media sources like tapes, CDs, and albums. A built-in tuner for FM and AM radio stations can also receive HD radio signals. There is also a dock connector that allows you to add an additional dock for either an iPod or Bluetooth-enabled devices. They can even be linked together to enable both to work at once. Finally, a front USB port allows you to easily play files from USB flash drives or other sources with USB outputs. With the RX-V2065 network receiver from Yamaha, it's easy to get all your music sources together.
Lookin' good
Many receivers will only output displays received from external sources such as Blu-ray players or cable boxes. The RX-V2065 took an entirely different approach, though. It features a newly-improved GUI to allow you to easily navigate through the on-screen display. And it can even display album art when it's available from the source!
Expand your experience
One of the coolest features on some of today's high end receivers is the support for multi-zone, multi-source output. This allows you to listen to content in additional areas by running wires from your receiver there. The RX-V2065 is proud to offer three-zone, three-source audio output, with both powered and pre-amp connections for each zone. With this capability, you can watch a Blu-ray with full surround sound in your home theater while playing a CD in the kitchen and listening to internet radio from the deck. This allows you to greatly expand your listening experience without expanding the number of A/V components you have.
Connect this!
Your receiver wouldn't be very useful if it didn't have hook-ups for all your sources. So there are more than enough connections on the RX-V2065 for all your audio and video equipment. For starters, let's talk about HDMI. This cable is the lifeblood of modern home theaters, able to carry both Full HD 1080p video and uncompressed 7.1-channel audio simultaneously. There are four HDMI inputs on the back of the RXV2065 and an additional convenient input on the front. There are also two outputs on the back. All the HDMI hookups feature support for Deep Color (30 or 36-bit), x.v.Color, 120Hz/24Hz refresh rate, and Auto Lip Sync Compensation. But HDMI's just the beginning. There are two component video inputs and an output for slightly older video sources, as well as two optical and two coaxial digital audio inputs and an optical output for matching sound. Two composite video inputs and three composite audio inputs expand your connectivity options, along with the two other composite A/V sets (plus an additional set on the front for three sets total). There are also a set of composite A/V outputs as well as separate video and audio inputs. For 7.1-channel analog audio, there is an input set. To play your sound on surround systems, there are both pre-amp and powered (130W per channel) outputs. Each set has seven-channel output and then two subwoofer ports allow you to integrate one or two powered subwoofers with either set. There are also both pre-amp and powered outputs for two channels of sound in both zone two and zone three. An ethernet port opens up your networking options. There also inputs for both SIRIUS and XM satellite radio docks (sold separately). A separate dock connection allows you to purchase an additional dock for either an iPod or Bluetooth devices (or both). FM and AM antenna hookups allow you to get better radio reception. There's an isolated ground terminal. From a control standpoint, there is an input and an output for a remote. There are also two separate 12V trigger outputs, and finally an RS-232C port. A front USB port furthers your hook-up options. Wrapping up the cables is the detachable power cord. The sheer length of this paragraph should provide testament that there are plenty of ports for your home theater equipment.
