Yamaha Electronics Corporation, the innovator in home theater and digital audio and video reproduction, today introduced a new line of three versatile, high-performance 3D-ready AV receivers, the RX-V567 (90W x 7; MSRP: $479.95), RX-V467 (105W x 5; MSRP: $379.95) and RX-V367 (100W x 5; MSRP $249.95). These models deliver wide-ranging source connectivity and convenience features for superior HD video and audio performance, 3D support for the Side-by-Side (Half) and Top-and-Bottom formats that broadcasters are adopting, as well as for current 3D Blu-ray content (via upcoming firmware update).  

Yamaha’s new receivers enable music and movie enthusiasts to fully enjoy their Blu-ray players, broadcast HD services and gaming consoles, as well as the recently-introduced 3D televisions, with comprehensive feature sets throughout the line. Yamaha’s proprietary Cinema DSP audio processing, which is offered in each of the line’s models, complements the new 3D television technology and provides extra sonic dimension and standout presence to match the engaging 3D video.

The RX-V567 and RX-V467 provide the perfect combination of

All three models offer Yamaha’s four pre-set SCENE buttons
