Specs & Review Yamaha HTR-2071 5.1-channel AV receiver

Although soundbars are great, nothing compares to the sound of a dedicated AV system. The Yamaha HTR-2071 surrounds you with rich, low distortion sound, producing the experience of being in a movie theater, using five channels of sound from a discrete amplifier. The amplifier can handle even the punchiest-sounding movies and tv shows thanks to its useful 70 watts per channel (6 ohms) output. There is also a function called Extra Bass. With smaller speakers and lower volume levels, this produces a richer, deeper bass response.

All HDMI ports support HDR Video, 4K/60p, and BT.2020 for compatibility with high definition video formats. A Blu-ray player, gaming system, set-top box, and computer may all be connected via the four HDMI ports, which is plenty for a complete home theater setup.

Regardless of the source, a 4K TV may be utilized to its fullest extent. Any Full HD signal you feed into the Yamaha is upscaled to UHD 4K thanks to UHD 4K upscaling. This translates to HD TV and regular Blu-ray having the most realistic and detailed visuals ever.
The addition of potent surround sound processing is another benefit of using AV separates. The HTR-2071 includes Yamaha’s renowned DSP Surround programming in addition to decoding both Dolby and DTS audio codecs. The Yamaha HTR-2071 has 17 modes, ranging from The Roxy Theatre to a concert Hall in Munich, providing a range of acoustic configurations for a distinctive sound.
Through the avoidance of output overlap with the front speakers, the Subwoofer Trim function in Yamaha HTR-2071 improves the low frequencies. This will produce a smoother frequency response and a cleaner, more centered sound stage. In typical systems, subwoofer frequency overlap causes the total sound to be “pushed” toward the subwoofer. Subwoofer Trim addresses this by clearly isolating the low subwoofer frequencies, stabilizing the front stage and producing a bass sound that is boosted and well-balanced.

In addition, 4 SCENE options guarantee that you always have the ideal environment for watching movies or listening to music. Photo: Yamaha
Connect every source you have
The Yamaha HTR-2071 is adaptable enough for the most sophisticated AV setups thanks to its four HDMI inputs. There are also many other inputs available for any older sources you may have, like DVD and CD players. You can connect 5 audio sources—enough for a full Hi-Fi system—via an optical, two coaxial, and two RCA phono analog inputs, bringing the total number of inputs to nine.
Virtual CINEMA DSP reproduces realistic 5-channel surround sound using only two front speakers, even when it is not possible to install surround speakers behind the listening position. By placing surround speakers at the front, Virtual CINEMA FRONT allows you to experience virtual 5-channel surround sound with improved quality and resolution. You have more freedom to position your speakers whatever you like inside the room, and you can easily experience surround sound that is of an exceptional quality.
