On-Screen Display with GUI and Dedicated
Remote Control (RX-Z9)
The RX-Z9 and RX-V2500 have the best looking
and easiest to use on-screen display you’ve ever
seen. This is due in part to the high quality video
circuitry, which provides sharp, clear images. The
GUI (Graphical User Interface) includes extensive
yet easily understandable setup menus and has
been designed to make it easy to
select and adjust desired
functions.
And to further simplify
operation, The RX-Z9 has
provided a second remote control
dedicated to GUI use. The large
round cursor control in the
center makes it easy to navigate
the on-screen menus and enter
desired commands. It also has
power, volume and mute buttons.
acoustics of the room.
It comes supplied with a small Optimizer
Microphone, which you simply place in the
position where you most frequently listen.
Activating the YPAO function causes test tones
to be emitted from the speakers. These tones are
analyzed and based on the results, a variety of
audio parameters are precisely calibrated to
optimize the sound at the listening position.
Among the factors analyzed are speaker
connections and phasing, speaker size, sound
pressure levels and speaker frequency response.
In short, the RX-Z9 not only delivers better
sound, it delivers the BEST sound for each and
every room.
The RX-V2500 has an improved system that
is faster (less than three minutes), also adjusts
frequency response, and provides three
programed EQ patterns, plus the ability to
manually adjust parametric EQ settings. Six
YPAO settings can be held in memory and
recalled via two system memory buttons on the
remote control. YPAO is available with the
RX-Z9, RX-V2500, RX-V1500, RX-V757,
RX-V657 and DVX-S650.
Each generation of Yamaha receivers brings an
evolution of our popular features while adding
innovative enhancements to improve the
operating experience. This is why even though
our receivers are the most technologically
advanced, they remain remarkably easy to use
and enjoy. Although these receivers look like
formidable machines, you’ll soon appreciate just
how convenient and enjoyable they are to use.
YPAO Sets the Best Sound for Your Room —
Automatically!
Some receivers have a graphic equalizer (in fact,
this one does too) which admittedly, can be a bit
difficult to use. Parametric equalizers are even
more effective, but only audio professionals can
use them. The RX-Z9 is the first receiver to give
you the benefits of a 10-band parametric
equalizer, which automatically adjusts the audio
output to provide precisely the best sound for the
