THREADCRAPPED By A Newbie

I'm not sure what the hell is wrong with this person but he's nicely lied and crapped all over this thread. Thanks WAZZUP. BTW ROB said $999. Thanks for being a total jerk. Please check out his other "intelligent" posts.

Fabulous sounding Yamaha RX-V1400 THX certified 7.1 Home Theater Receiver for sale. Would have to spend many times the money for a receiver that sounds as good.
Comes with box, remote, all manuals and receipt from an authorized dealer and is in mint condition. Still has 14 months of warranty remaining. $750.

The big attraction here is the automatic setup program: the Yamaha Parametric Acoustic Room Optimizer (YPAO), which the world first saw in the company's RX-Z9 flagship model, listed at $4,500. After you've hooked up your speakers and the supplied microphone, you're ready to start the YPAO routine. The V1400 sends a series of bleeps, squeaks, and tones through the speakers to check their wiring, their distances from the listening position, their sizes, and the subwoofer's crossover point. After the test, the receiver adjusts the levels of all the speakers and the sub. That's pretty impressive, but there's even more: the V1400 extensively analyzes the sound and applies equalization to each speaker. The proprietary YPAO technology handily trumps the automatic setup schemes of Pioneer and Harman Kardon.

THX Select A/V Receiver with YPAO room, speaker and equalization calibration
Measured 110w x 7 channels
Zone 1, 2 and 3
Compatibility with latest movie sound formats including Dolby Digital EX, Dolby Pro Logic IIx, DTS-ES Discrete 6.1, DTS Neo:6 and DTS 96/24
192kHz/24bit DACs all around.
DIRECT LINE For Best CD Sound
DIRECT Multi channel in for SACDand DVD-Audio.
THX Select processing
27 surround programs (47 variations) with SILENT CINEMA and Night Listening mode
Component video up conversion:S-video/composite signal conversion to component video signal
YPAO (Yamaha Parametric Room Acoustic Optimizer)
Extensive inputs/outputs for custom installation (Zone 2, Zone 3and speaker A/B selection)

Overall, I’d describe the sound of this receiver as laid-back and not overly bright. I’ve had some experience with a well-known and generally well-regarded A/V receiver, whose characteristics are the supposed de facto standard in neutrality and resolution, but for some reason, I couldn’t take the clinical sterility of its amplifier. In contrast, the RX-V1400 always sounded warm and ballsy.
If you want a receiver that merely plays loud and has surround capabilities, I’m sure you can easily find several other models that will fit the bill. But, if you want a receiver with features that actually are more than just twists on a dial, if you want a receiver with tonal accuracy for both film and music, and if you want a receiver that is upgradeable to future formats at this price point, the Yamaha RX-V1400 is the one you’ve been looking for.


Using the “straight� mode (bypassing all tone controls and video circuitry) immediately (and quite noticeably) opened up the soundstage for music with a tremendous range and dynamic sound. Highs were present but not peaky, the midrange was solid and bass had excellent extension – at times made me forget that I had turned my sub off. The Yamaha did not seem biased towards any particular genre of music, rather just faithfully reproducing the tone from my rather wide ranging (if not small) collection of CDs.


As with music, the sound from the Yamaha was open, detailed and full bodied. From the sound of bullets whizzing past your head to the thunderous deep bass from explosions, the Yamaha had authority and control over the sound. Bass was tight and clean without the “wobble� from lesser components, and even the musical score was rich in sound. This receiver really was difficult to fault at this price point.

Technology has advanced significantly in recent years to a point where quality componentry is available cheaper than ever before. Add into this, the auto set up and auto EQ functions, and you have a truly stunning amplifier for not many more dollars than the “mass market� rubbish peddled by many chain-stores.

Highly recommended.

This ia a two year model receiver and already so much outdated!

This model was released in CANADA in late October of 2003 and is still current. Do you have a screw loose?
Here is their press release:

amaha Electronics Corporation, the innovator in home theater and Digital Soundfield Processing (DSP) technology, today introduced two affordable A/V digital home theater receivers further solidifying Yamaha's leadership position in the rapidly growing specialty receiver market. By utilizing the latest advances in LSI, component and circuitry design, the RX-V2400 and RX-V1400 deliver the outstanding audio and video performance that has come to be the signature of Yamaha's home theater products.

Worthy successors to Yamaha's previous receiver models, the mid-priced RX-V2400 (120W x 7) and RX-V1400 (110W x 7) feature powerful 7-channel amplification and utilize Yamaha's Digital ToP-ART (Total Purity Audio Reproduction Technology) design concept to maximize digital sound quality, with several operation modes that provide short, direct signal paths for even greater sound clarity.

A powerful 32-bit proprietary LSI provides full range realistic music and movie sound. Both units are compatible with the latest sound formats (including Dolby Digital EX, Dolby Pro Logic II, DTS-ES Discrete 6.1, DTS Neo:6 and DTS 96/24), and also provide THX Select processing.

The RX-V2400 and RX-V1400 are both extremely versatile as well as user-friendly. These models include the Component Video UP Conversion feature, which can upgrade composite and S-video signals to component video format for ease of installation. The RX-V1400 is the first product at $799 to include this feature. Another example of how easy the new receivers are to use is the new YPAO (Yamaha Automatic Parametric Room Acoustic Optimizer) function, which automatically analyzes room acoustics, then sets parameters for optimum sound quality at the listening position, via a fully parametric EQ, at the touch of a button.


The RX-V2400 and RX-V1400 feature the next generation of Yamaha's proprietary CINEMA DSP technology, which offers a wider range of surround sound programs. Sophisticated internal surround decoding and ambience processing in the two receivers are enabled by the YSS-930, a 32-bit Floating-Point LSI that yields 29 DSP programs with 49 possible variations in the RX-V2400. The RX-V1400 offers 28 DSP programs (with 48 variations) , including SILENT CINEMA mode for enjoying surround-like sound through conventional headphones.

In addition, on-screen menus and a learning remote control provide easy access to all functions of the RX-V2400 and RX-V1400. Both units also offer an extensive range of inputs and outputs, including easier to use custom installation features. (With multi-sourced Zone 2, Zone 3, powered zone 2, zone 2 speaker out on both, RS-232C on RX-V2400).

The RX-V2400 (MSRP $999) and RX-V1400 (MSRP $799) will be available in September, 2003 and be introduced at CEDIA 2003 at the Indianapolis Convention Center , booth 218, beginning September 5th .
