Product Description

From the Manufacturer

From the Manufacturer

The Yamaha RX-V1900 Brings Excitement to Your Home Theater System

Yamaha’s latest 7.1-channel AV Receiver offers superb HD Audio and Video realism, with the most extensive multi-zone custom installation compatibilities that will bring new versatility and excitement to the home theater entertainment experience.

Extensive and Versatile Control

High Picture Quality
The RX-V1900 features 1080p-Comaptible HDMI. High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) is the first and only digital interface to combine uncompressed high-definition video, multi-channel audio and intelligent format and command data in a single digital interface. HDMI switching, providing the most advanced method of delivering high quality video signals to a home theater system to enable the reproduction of DVD and satellite TV sources with HD quality. HDMI can also send the digital audio signals from sources such as DVD Audio, CD, Dolby Digital and DTS to provide simple components connections.


CINEMA DSP adds another
dimension to your sound
3D CINEMA DSP for Surround Realism
The RX-V1900 features surround sound processing with the enhanced capability of 3D CINEMA DSP. By using two presence speakers in addition to the two front and two surround speakers, the sound field is given an extra vertical dimension. Pressing the 3D DSP button provides a sound field that expands both upward and downward. Hi-Fi DSP programs sound more natural, closer to the feeling of actually being in a concert hall with a high ceiling or a small live house where the sound seems to bounce up from the floor. CINEMA DSP programs have an added dimension of height that was previously difficult to achieve, so sounds coming from above have precise localization. When volume is low, CINEMA DSP effects may be difficult to hear. Adaptive DSP Level overcomes this problem by evaluating the difference between the volume level and a reference level, and adjusting the DSP level to ensure optimum effectiveness--that is, the best possible sound.

Superior Custom Zone Control

Power up to three rooms at the same time
Users can enjoy audio in three rooms as well as video in the second room with an extensive array of custom zone control features. These include Main/Zone 2/Zone 3 power controls, front panel selection of XM/FM/AM tuning, volume and input source, Zone 2 video output and on-screen menu display, and Zone 2/3 tone and L/R balance controls for ceiling or wall-mounted speakers. A separate Zone Remote Unit is provided and there is also an RS-232C interface for a touch-panel controller.

Adaptive Dynamic Range Control
Adaptive DRC is a new volume control technology that is effective for low-volume listening, such as at night or with headphones. It applies DRC processing to eliminate the volume differences between loud commercials and ordinary programming and to take into account our ears' loss of sensitivity as volume decreases. The compensation is performed automatically, so all dialogue is heard clearly even at low levels, and there are no sudden loud bursts of sound.

Superb Convenience
The RX-V1900 features YPAO automatic system calibration. 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!

4.0 out of 5 stars Near-Excellent AV Receiver, November 23, 2008
By H. S. Jacob (Austin, TX United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I purchased this receiver to replace my older Yamaha RX-V1000 which I liked a lot and had no problems with the entire time I had it. I purchased this receiver to get HDMI, HD Radio, and Zone 2 amplified sound. I have the amplifier set up to drive an LCD HDTV via HDMI and a projector w/ component video.

Sound Quality: This was high priority for me as I primarily listen to music. I was VERY happy with the sound quality and I feel like it sounds better than my RX-V1000 (which I feel sounded much better to the Denon 38xx receivers and was on par w/ a B&K receiver my friend has). I don't use any of the different DSP effects for sound stages, etc. The surround sound (at least 5.1 as that's all I use) audio sounds better than my RX-V1000 too. Sound from the center channel is much more defined and clear. Not sure why but it's nicer. BOTTOM LINE....excellent sound!

Connections: The receiver could have a better layout for connections but in the end, I really don't have any problems with it. There are a lot of connections so you should be fine. I would have liked dual HDMI outputs but you get that w/ a more costly receiver and it wasn't that important to me. Note, as with many other multi-zone receivers that I have used/tested, only the main zone can handle digital audio inputs, other zones must have analog inputs so you must connect all your audio sources to analog (or digital + analog) if you want audio in Zones 2 or 3. Bottom Line....very good quantity of connections of course I would like vendors to "drop" support for composite and s-video....I mean, c'mon, who really needs those connections w/ this type of amp? :) Also, it's difficult to get to the speaker terminals and would be better if they were all in one line at the bottom of the receiver. BOTTOM LINE....good array of connections.

Setup: Typical Yamaha on-screen menus. I did not use the YPAO to set up the receiver yet so I can't comment on that. I set it up manually and it wasn't particularly difficult. I like the fact that the amplifier has a "maximum volume" setting as I use this for Zone 2 so I won't overdrive the amp by accident. I also like the fact that the the main zone and 2nd zone are completely separate. The main amp can essentially be "off" while zone 2 is playing or vice-versa. Granted, not all electronics are off when you do this but turning off the main zone keeps the amp running cooler if all i need is audio in the 2nd zone. BOTTOM LINE....setup is average and probably just as easy/painful as one might expect.

Surround: I find the Surround Settings to be odd. I obviously need to play w/ the amp some more but it's not clear to me when dolby digital or DTS sound is being played as I can make the "dts" sign light up even if it's just Dolby Digital. Still, I confirmed that DTS works at least w/ regular DVDs. I'm sure Blu-Ray dvd's will be fine but I'm still fine-tuning this portion. BOTTOM LINE.....the audio from Surround sources sound great, getting the Surround settings configured correctly is a bit confusing.

Tuner: I really only listen to 1 station that supports HD Radio but strangly enough, I can't pick up the HD signal from this station but I can from others. Being public radio, I'm guessing that they don't broadcast w/ as much power as many other stations so I think I'm too far to pick up the HD Radio signal from this station as I understand that the HD Radio signal is like 1/10 of the power of the normal analog signal. Oh well, it still sounds good but tuning stations w/ this receiver is as painful as my previous receiver. Again, this should normally only be done during initial set-up so the pain should only be front-loaded. BOTTOM LINE.....it's a tuner and does its job, just a somewhat painful setup.

Remotes: Somewhat standard Yamaha remote controls.....average, poor, confusing. I definitely like the Zone 2 remote control and really wish that it had a "sleep" button on it like the main remote does. I mean, if I can set Zone 2 to a sleep timer with the main remote, it seems like I'd like to have this feature on the Zone 2 remote, right? :) Ultimately I don't use the remotes all that much except for simple things so it's not too much of a pain for me. BOTTOM LINE.....somewhat painful main remote but zone 2 remote is nice.

Summary: I am very happy with this amplifier and would recommend it to anybody.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great sound, poor OSD implementation, February 12, 2009
By Michael J. Christensen (Elk Grove Village, IL United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I was looking to update a previous Yamaha receiver with one that has support for HDMI and Dolby True HD/DTS Master sound formats. With a nice coupon code, I was able to purchase for under $1k from 6th Ave Electronics. Here are my thoughts:

First of all, the sound is terrific. I have a small place, and was afraid the amp would overpower the room, but it has a beautiful resonance whether you're listening to music at low levels, or cranking it. For video acoustics, I popped in The Dark Knight. The Dolby True HD soundtrack was incredible! No complaints.

I'm also not a hardcore configuration guy (I tried the microphone setup on my previous unit, and wound up manually tweaking it anyway), but I must say, it's not too difficult to manually configure and setup this unit to your liking. The major adjustments I made were to adjust the individual speaker levels and speaker distances from the receiver. No problems here.

And now for the bad. In a nutshell, I've abandoned using this receiver as a video device. The recommended hookup is to run all your components through the receiver via HDMI connections, and then one HDMI from the receiver to your TV. There are two major design flaws with hooking the receiver up this way.

Call me crazy, but I like the choice of playing sound through either my receiver, or the TV (i.e. for late night listening). There is an option to allow sound through both the receiver and TV simultaneously, but here's the caveat. You will only get stereo sound to both!! I've noticed this on blu ray as well as cable. My guess is, since my TV won't be able to accept a "digital" sound signal, the receiver "dumbs down" the audio to the lowest level that both can accept (i.e. stereo). Thus, no 5.1+ surround formats to the Yamaha if you'd like to have sound output to your TV. The way around this (which i've reconfigured my stereo to handle) is to run all HDMI/video inputs directly to your TV, while outputting just the audio to the receiver via optical cables from your components. However, if you configure this way, the HD sound formats mentioned above (Dolby HD/DTS Master) are disabled, as they can only be carried by direct HDMI cables to the receiver. What a bummer...

Second, and perhaps more annoyingly, the receiver, which is supposed to have on screen display (OSD), does not show volume control on-screen when you adjust the volume! If you're listening to the radio or playing your IPOD it will, but not while adjusting volume for video sources. Yamaha's consolation for this is to show a generic crappy looking volume bar on the unit itself. Problem is, other than "blocks" to show what volume you're at, it's nearly impossible to see the actual decibel level on the unit unless you're two feet in front of it, because it's displayed in tiny font in the upper right corner of the receiver. I'm aware that the step-up RX-V3900 solves this problem (with a much nicer OSD and volume display for video), but seriously, for a receiver that retails at $1,400, this is beyond ridiculous.

While these issues have frustrated me a bit, I still have to give this unit props for its excellent sound, which is a bargain if you can find it for under a grand. However, the amateurish looking OSD, and related issues render it frustrating to use the Yamaha as your video centerpiece. For consumers looking for an all-in-one video audio solution, Yamaha got it half right.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Sound Great Features, September 11, 2009
I am very impressed with this receiver. I must first say that I have never owned an amp of this quality but I have always owned Yamaha equipment. Shipping was on time with no problems and I got the unit before I even had speakers for it. I went with Polk Audio set up RTI A7's a Pro 500 sub and RTI rears and the sound is amazing. I have the amp set up for Bi-amp and it took me and the wire installer a few moments to figure out the Subwoofer set up but once we did we turned on the PS3 Blu-ray and put a movie in. The sound was simply amazing and I can't wait to do some driving with the new sound. I am very impressed that the unit is now converting my 720 DVD player to 1080i I had no idea a receiver could even do that.
Advanced menus can take some time to figure out but it appears you can make the amp do almost anything you could imagine.
