Two new models are up on Yamaha's web site. The 467 and 567 ( I consider the 367 a different platform as it's cabinet size is different.) The main addition from last year's line is HDMI 1.4 with support for 3D.
RX-V567 Rated power
*****
7.1; 90 Watts / Channel; .9% THD at 1 khz
Power Consumption - 270 Watts
Weight - 18.7 pounds
RX-V467 Rated power
*****
5.1; 105 Watts / Channel; .9% THD at 1 khz
Power Consumption - 270 Watts
Weight - 18.5 pounds
What's up with those power specs?
The 467 has a higher power spec, because it's 5.1 only. It's power supply is almost certainly identical to the 567.
No 20 hz to 20 khz power consumption spec is given. A guess is that these power figures can be met only with two channels driven.
Expect sub 50 watt / channel performance with all channels driven.
These receivers will be ok for many people's power needs. Don't expect to be able to play cleanly at high volumes. And use efficient 8 ohm speakers if at all possible. (This is nothing new when dealing with receivers in this class.)
Common Main Features
* 4 HDMI 1.4 Inputs
* Decoding for all common codecs ( TrueHD, DTS-HD Master Audio, etc.)
* 5 AV inputs ( composite)
* Two digital; two coax inputs
* Audio return channel
* 2 Component video inputs
* HDMI 3D Support
* Can change inputs in standbye mode! (Nice feature if it works like I expect)
* Auto Power Down (Interesting feature?)
567 Only
* 1080p Upconversion
* OSD (Not 100% sure what this means, I am just reading the comparison chart)
* Can biamp
General thoughts
It's likely they took the previous line and added 1.4 and a few other goodies. The cabinet size, weight and power consumption of the 567 looked practically identical to the 565 for example.
Being able to switch sources in standbye mode, and auto power off looked interested to me. Otherwise, more of the same?
