Features

Front Panel USB Digital connection with iPod and iPhone Audio Control


A USB port on the front panel provides convenient connection for your iPod/iPhone, which also charges when connected. Because the digital signal from the iPod/iPhone is transmitted directly to the AV Receiver, noise interference is minimized and sound quality is much better.




Network Capability


This model offers networking capabilities and can serve as the hub of a home entertainment network that’s connected to the Internet. Its powerful networking capabilities provide enjoyment of thousands of free Internet radio stations worldwide and full access to free and paid music streaming services such as Pandora, vTuner, Rhapsody, SiriusXM Internet Radio and Napster. This model is also Windows 7 and DLNA 1.5 certified which allows access to music files on any computer or local NAS drive content available on the home network.





iPhone AV Controller App


Use in a Home Network for More Music, Easy Control: This AV Receiver can be the control center of a home entertainment network connected to the internet. You can use the AV Controller app for control from an iPhone, etc., and enjoy music streaming from Pandora, Napster, Rhapsody and Sirius Internet Radio.



Analog and HDMI Video Upscaling to Full HD 1080p


This model is capable of outstanding upscaling and i/p conversion quality, This AV Receiver will upscale video signals up to 1080p. This means a much better picture with HDTVs capable of 720p, 1080i or 1080p resolution.

This model also features extremely precise motion adaptive and edge adaptive deinterlacing and multi-cadence detection (including 3-2 pull-down).



Advanced On-Screen GUI


On-Screen Advanced GUI (Graphical User Interface) Yamaha’s latest Graphical User Interface has a high resolution display with clear, easy-to-use menus and also includes a selectable Status Bar that shows input source, volume level, DSP mode and audio format.




HDMI with 3D and Audio Return Channel


1080p HDMI with 3D and Audio Return Channel (6 In/ 1 Out), including one on Front Panel deliver crystal-clear, all-digital audio and video via a single cable, HDMI dramatically simplifies cabling and helps provide consumers with the highest-quality home theater experience. HDMI can provide an interface between most audio/video sources, such as a set-top box, Blu-ray player, DVD player, or A/V receiver and a video monitor, such as a High Definition Television (HDTV), over a single cable.

Audio Return Channel (ARC) is a distinctive 3D-ready function allows consumers to use a single HDMI connection to transfer digital audio from the TV back to the AV Receiver eliminating the need for a second cable between the TV and the home theater AV Receiver.




Front Panel HDMI Input


An HDMI terminal on the front panel makes it easy to connect a camcorder or digital camera. All of the HDMI terminals are compatible with 3D and CEC, making them convenient for connecting set-top boxes and Blu-ray disc players.




HD Audio with CINEMA DSP 3D


CINEMA DSP 3D provides a wide, high and dense sound field. HD Audio format decoding lets you enjoy HD Audio sources. Virtual Presence Speaker delivers 3-dimensional sound without actual use of presence speakers. The actually measured sound field data contain the information of the height of the sound images. CINEMA DSP 3D mode achieves the reproduction of the accurate height of the sound images so that it creates the accurate and intensive stereoscopic sound fields in a listening room.




SCENE for One-Touch Start


The Four SCENE buttons make operating the receiver easier than ever. They are initially set to default settings for BD/DVD Viewing, CD Disc Listening, TV Viewing and Radio Listening. Pressing a SCENE button will automatically launch a number of operations that initiate play of the source controlled by that button. Other SCENE settings are also available, such as iPod Listening, SiriusXM Listening [model dependent], 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.



YPAO Automatically Sets the Best Sound for Any Room


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, etc. Until it achieves the best sound conditions for your room and you don't have to do anything!





Compressed Music Enhancer


When music is encoded into a digitally compressed format like MP3, the frequency response suffers. This function restores what was lost, so your music always sounds the way it should.



Eco-Friendly Design





The RX-V671 has a low standby power consumption of 0.1W (2.0W in HDMI Standby Through mode) and an Auto Power Down feature (selectable to 4, 8 or 12 hours) which help make this an environmentally friendly receiver

Optional Accessories for Added Convenience

How do i change my frequency to 120hz on my speakers? can only find 98.2 and 125hz.



I've read this:


the subwoofer, being sealed, worked best exactly where every other sealed sub has worked best, to the left of my rack, inside of the front left speaker. They were driven by an Anthem MRX-700, utilizing the ARC room correction. Crossovers were found to work best at 120Hz all round, in line with Q Acoustics recommendations.

setup, manual setup, bass crossover.


I'm not sure if this is the whole speaker bass management, or the sub crossover. I've set mine to 60hz since I'm near fear and prefer the standmounts reproduce a bit lower bass, and not driving very hard anyway. Speakers to small.


or do you mean manual ypao eq adjustment?

I dont relly know the only thing i know is that Crossovers were found to work best at 120Hz all round, in line with Q Acoustics recommendations.


and they say to set my speakers to Small and the crossover to 120hz on them, but cant find how to set them to 120hz.


someone on the forum says

I've been speaking to some 'Onkyo experts' today and they confirm what Russell advised previously: ie. it is important that, in the amplifier’s set-up menu, the left front, centre, right front and both surround loudspeakers are set to ‘small’, the subwoofer is set to ‘yes/on’ and the crossover frequency for all the satellite speakers is adjusted to 120Hz.

If you see numbers like 99.2 and 125Hz you're in the equalizer setup menu. Don't change anything there or you could really screw up the sound.


You want to change the bass crossover frequency which is in the setup menu under Speaker / Manual Setup / Configuration / Bass Crossover. 120Hz is one of the choices, and you only have to set it in one place (the same crossover is used for all speakers). Make sure you set all speakers as small too.

That eq is the best thing since sliced bread.
But youre right, if you dont know what youre doing you could mess things up pretty bad.

good idea thks for your help!

Obviously this could be either the Xbox or 671 (or both given the interaction/HDMI handshake). However, the settings in the Xbox are minimal - 1080/HDMI and that's it. I run my sons Xbox through our theater Yamaha AVR, have tried both processed and passthrough without issue. It's not a 671 however.


The one thing I would try is different HDMI cables. Make sure you have "High Speed" cables. On that note what are the lengths of your HDMI runs from Xbox to 671 to display?


Cheers

My SCENE TV button doesnt find my TV's internal cable tuner. I've set it up normally. ARC works, SCENE button for bluray player works, everything except this.

Everytime I press SCENE TV, it shows only the "main screen" of the receiver with a wallpaper. With bluray player and TV, the Panny always shows "EC/HDMI2". AVR shows AV4.


Sooo, how I can make it to fetch signal from the HDMI between the tv and avr? Thanks!



RX-V671(Firmware 1.39), Panasonic ST50. (European models, if matters)

HDMI 1.4 cable from AVR's HDMI OUT to Panny's HDMI2(ARC)

ok, now that Sirius/xm is no longer providing free access to thier internet radio without paying$4 a month, how can I delete my preset stations from the presets I set up? how can I remove my login info from the sirius internet radio settings?


Too bad they did this. I'm not paying $48 * royalty fees when there are tons of just as good srations for free on vTuner internet radio. Anyone else upset about this?
 
#1,791 ·
you have to prepay for your subscription, so threatening to leave will be useless. when I renew my subscription Ill ask then. now how do I remove my presets fron the net radio function. I can't even get into the option to change my login or password. antone know how to get there? I don't use an external radio, just the net radio.

Thanks.

Im not sure you can. Others have asked and I have never seen an answer. You can replace the presets but I dont think they can be erased.

well trying again in vain to access my sirius account settings accomplished nothing. whenever I got to my sisius prestsets, I get the pop up stating not connected. any attempt access the login or username screen is impossible. not accessable is the message I get or somerhing like it. how can I reset my sisius login settings? can anyone offer a suggestion? redo all the sirius presets with dummy ones? I love amplifier and I think it's great, but the user interface is frustrating.


Thanks.

My Sirius stopped working as well. I am able to sign in but when I choose a channel, the channel buffer screen comes on but it never buffers and says "Unable to play". I am able to log in and stream on my PC (i'm still getting Sirius internet for free). I went ahead and deleted the account from my Yamaha, re-entered the info, and still the same problem.

Have you tried restoring default settings from the Advanced Setup menu? (page 101 of the 671 manual)

phoenixone, how did you delete your account from your amp?

Using the Yamaha remote:

press "on screen" button - choose "input" - using the left/right arrow keys on the remote, scroll to "siriusxm internet radio" - press the arrow up key on the remote.


A screen pops up with the choices:


Account status

Sign in (greyed out for me)

Siriusxm internet radio trial (greyed out for me)

Remove Account

Video out


Choose remove account then choose "ok" when it asks you "are you sure you want to remove account?".
