Four pre-set SCENE buttons (“BD/DVD,” “TV,” “CD” and “Radio”) instantly
ready the entire system to deliver the desired entertainment experience by turning on the
correct components and activating the proper inputs, audio and video features and
surround mode combinations. The model’s new GUI on-screen display with eye-catching
graphics, including component icons and album art, offers users a seamless means to
access the content they want to experience.
The RX-V1065 is also compatible with HD Radio, which provides listeners with
crystal-clear, CD-quality sound via existing AM/FM radio bands. Users can take
advantage of program-associated text data and the ability to tune into multiple programs
from the nearly 2,000 radio stations broadcasting HD Radio content.
Users can access the broadest range of today’s popular content sources,
including iPods via Yamaha’s optional YDS-11 Universal Dock, and Bluetooth (A2DP)
devices with an optional Yamaha Bluetooth Wireless Audio Receiver (YBA-10). The
RX-V1065 is also Sirius/XM satellite radio ready, with XM HD Surround powered by
Neural Surround. A front panel USB port allows playback of audio files from hard drives
and MP3 music players as well.
The RX-V1065 features Yamaha’s proprietary Pure Direct technology, a special
listening mode that provides the highest possible audio signal purity. It can be used for both
analog and digital sources, with two-channel or multi-channel inputs. Rounding out the
model’s advanced audio and video feature set are Yamaha’s Digital ToP-ART and High
Current Amplification technology with discrete amp configuration, Deep Color (30/36
bit) technology, 120Hz/24Hz Refresh Rates and Auto Lip-Sync compensation, which
automatically eliminates audio/video sync issues.
The RX-V1065 includes Yamaha’s proprietary Cinema DSP 3D audio processing,
with 17 DSP programs and adaptive DSP level, which gives music and movies an extra
sonic dimension with standout presence. Silent Cinema technology makes it possible to
hear large-scale surround sound through standard headphones and is ideal for late-night
home theater listening when the rest of the family is asleep.

The RX-V1065 features Yamaha’s proprietary Compressed Music
Enhancer that restores dynamics to music files ripped from CDs or downloaded
from the Internet. Adaptive Dynamic Range Control automatically increases the
volume of softer dialog passages when overall system volume is turned down.
Home theater setup is simplified with Yamaha’s Parametric room Acoustic
Optimizer (YPAO) that automatically analyzes room acoustics and sets parameters
for optimum sound quality at the touch of a button. Multi-zone and custom
installation highlights include assignable amplifiers for bi-amping, powering
presence speakers (back surround or front) or a second zone, as well as zone 2
on/off control from the front panel, remote in/out and programmable +12V
(100mA) trigger outputs. The RX-V1065 is sold with an easy-to-use preset remote
control.
