Yamaha RX-Z9 A/V Receiver Review

Review: The Yamaha RX-Z9 AV Receiver is an exceptionally good product and value. It dominates a segment of the marketplace currently not filled with every conceivable feature. High end audio meets AV.

Excellent Sound for All Operational Modes ; Component Video Upconversion and Digital Processing ; Benchmark Audio Performance ; Slick Auto Set-Up & Room Correction ; i.Link for DVD-A / SACD

Potentially Inaccurate Auto Set-Up ; No Sub Out In 2CH Direct Mode ; Runs extremely hot to touch ; No DVI or HDMI ; Low Current +12V Triggers

Yamaha RX-Z9 THX Ultra2 Digital Surround Receiver

A well-worn adage says that all things come to he who waits. Yamaha's RX-Z9 receiver is so chock-full of features, it must have been waiting a long time.

The Yamaha Powerhouse

What an awesome machine. Plenty of inputs, even for today's world of HDMI gear. Easy to integrate into your system if you just want a pre-amp with all the goodies and already have a bank of power amps. But this thing is tough. Way beyond its rated...

Solide grunty power out put with plenty of inputs and controls.
