For prospective buyers of Yamaha RX-V667

[ukjeyaraj]

I was just browsing through the features of Yamaha RX-V667 and noticed that specs of Yamaha RX-V667 are different between countries. (This may be the case in other brands and models too)

Just look at the image of Yamaha RX-V667 from US and Europe

Yamaha RX-V667 from US

Yamaha RX-V667 from Australia

Note : Phono Input is available in the above pic

Yamaha RX-V667 from Europe/Singapore

Note : S-Video Input is available in the above pic


Another major difference in spec is Audio output is 90W/Channel in US, where it is 140W/Channel in Europe/Singapore/Asia.

Sadly specs for the AVR in Yamaha Music India looks similar to that of US. On the first look RX-V667 from Europe/Australia/Singapore seems better. Existing owners and senior members can add more information.

Thanks for this nice observation , I think this calls for a direct store verification. The output power factor seems I have always overlooked.

There is not much differences other than voltage.90w & 140w is subjective(say 8ohm vs 6)Spk connectors looks different,but input & output are same.
If you see Denon 2310 US & asia,US model dont have preout which is major difference.

Our forum member anilva got yamaha 667 ,hi sir where r u show some light on this....

Europe/Singapore additionally has phono(MM) input and s-video input which is not there in US model.

Europe/Singapore additionally has phono(MM) input and s-video input which is not there in US model.

US models are cheap & many one change the models next year.So they dont require added features.UK people are concerned with music & so the phono input.They maintain there audio stuff well.

Europe/Singapore additionally has phono(MM) input and s-video input which is not there in US model.

The US model has s-video. on far left below the dock connector. And it looks like they replaced Phono in EU models with Sirius Sat Radio support in US model.

Page 110 of the User manual has these listed out.

 

[ukjeyaraj]

^^ S-video port is marked as Sirius in US-model. You are right, Sirius sat radio support is missing in non-US models.

Hi Guys,
This is the model I have (look at point 9 - Voltage Selector) says it is available for Asia and General models only,,,

Hi Guys,

You got the model with all features,say S vid,phono input & a voltage switch.
:clapping:

Since you all are eager to know the difference between these models, I have unpacked my AVR and took a pik for you...

It has Phono, but no Sirius or S Video, similar to the Austrian model.
Secondly it is made in Malaysia, does that mean anything??/

I tried a lot to find this Pik online with the voltage selector, but could not find any, does that make it unique:yahoo:

Hope this helps......

Very nice. Can you share - Where did you buy and how much you paid?

Eeee.... My mistake. I missed it. Thanks for pointing.

 

[miltondcunha]

Any comments on where these AVR are manufactured??? China / Japan / Malaysia??

 

[ukjeyaraj]

I was searching further as to find, where this is manufactured from and stumbled upon this link.

Yamaha Dual Voltage Audio Video receivers, dual voltage 110-220 volt AV Amps

The above online shop seems to stock yamaha dual-voltage AVRs, and claim to be genuinely made by Yamaha.

yours has a voltage selector?

Thanks for the reply...

 

[miltondcunha]

Yep, I stumbled on this site too, but not sure if it is genuine as this model or design is not available in any Yamaha manual.. and that too it is a US site which is most unlikely to have 110/220V out there..
Has anyone purchased from this site before???
