When your iPod or iPhone is connected to the Yamaha RX-V667 via a supported Yamaha iPod dock (sold separately), you can listen to your digital music with Compressed Music Enhancer and view album art while playing.

Seven Channels of High-Definition Surround-Sound Audio The RX-V667 receiver offers 90 watts per channel of rich, high-definition audio with support for the latest sound decoders like HD Audio, Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD Master Audio, Dolby Digital Plus, and DTS-HD High Resolution Audio. Its discrete amp configuration minimizes signal interference, further enhanced by low-jitter PLL circuitry. The RX-V667’s intelligent assignable amplifiers let you perfect your surround sound setup or push a signal to a Zone 2 connection for enjoying in another room. Achieve Surround Realism with CINEMA DSP Conventional multichannel audio reproduction systems base their sound on Dolby Digital and DTS decoding, using matrix and steering technologies to create surround sound effects. Yamaha CINEMA DSP is much more advanced, actually creating richly realized independent sound fields that envelop you in an unmatched surround sound experience. With dialogue, music and effects from ideally located in these separate sound fields, you will hear sound with accurate placement, smooth movement, exceptional clarity and richness, and startlingly realistic presence. Hear large-scale sound throughheadphones with SILENT CINEMA SILENT CINEMA and Virtual CINEMA DSP SILENT CINEMA makes it possible to hear large-scale surround sound through ordinary headphones. This variation of CINEMA DSP technology lets you listen in private to movies and other multi-channel sources for hours without listening fatigue. Virtual CINEMA DSP lets you enjoy the effects of CINEMA DSP surround sound without using surround speakers–handy for use in custom installations where some rooms don’t have surround speakers. It can be used with the front / center / presence speakers or even with just the two front left and right speakers. SCENE buttons automatically launch an operation that will play the source controlled by that button YPAO uses this microphone to analyze room acoustics andautomatically set the best sound for any room SCENE Buttons for Quick Control of Your Home Theater Four SCENE buttons make operating the receiver easier than ever. They are initially set to default settings for DVD Viewing, Disc Listening, TV Viewing and Radio Listening. Pressing a SCENE button automatically launches a number of operations that initiate play of the source controlled by that button. Other SCENE settings are also available, such as iPod Listening, XM Listening, TV Sports Viewing and Action Game Playing. Browsing and selecting the settings is quickly accomplished by changing Input via the front panel and watching the on-screen display. The settings can be selected for one-time use, or they can replace the original default settings. The SCENE names can be changed also. Automatic Speaker Setup and Calibration with YPAO Yamaha�s YPAO system uses a small microphone and sophisticated equalization to automatically set the best sound for any room, no matter where the speakers are. First it checks the speaker connections and phase of each speaker. Then it sends out tones which are captured by the microphone to analyze the room acoustics and sets a variety of parameters, such as the speaker size, the distance of the speakers and even the sound pressure level, until it achieves the best sound conditions for your room.

This review is from: Yamaha RX-V667 7.2-Channel Home Theater Receiver (Black) (Electronics)
this is my first receiver and very happy to own it…cnet rated this model excellent for sound quality, user interface and connectivity…and overall rating was high on other websites too…really like on-screen GUI…makes life easy…helpful to understand signal info…and troubleshoot if there is any problem…just bought it yesterday…connected klipsch quintet 5 speakers….planning to do YPAO calibration next..
also analog (480i) to 1080p conversion is pretty decent… picture quality has improved…the advantage is having to run only a single hdmi cable to the TV

update 12/11/2010

I have been using this receiver for 2 weeks now…there are couple of issues…lip sync problem while playing blu ray movies..there is a sync adjustment… but this happened in between the movie and I had to keep adjusting it …alternate option is to stop playing and then restart it again…then there was no lag…..also noticed sound will pass for about a sec couple of times….I expect at this price to have a better product…another issue is with updating firmware..it is straight forward but a lengthy process…should be able to do this using USB instead of burning audio CDs!!!…it worked fine though..

update 1/10/2011
its more than a month now…works flawlessly…I played lot of blu ray movies and there was no lip synch issue …I guess the one that had problem might be because of disc issues…..planning to buy two more speakers to try second zone feature..overall very happy to own it..

update 11/28/2011
have been using this receiver for one year now…no issues so far…..also happy to see that the current selling price is only couple of dollars lower compared to what I spent a year ago..can you believe it?
