Home cinema in perfection: Audiophile surround-ensemble of pre-amplifier and power amplifier

Both of the AV receivers feature extensive home network integration: Thanks to DLNA, media can easily be played from computer or NAS hard drive. With Napster, one of the most popular music streaming services is integrated. Media from iPhone, iPad and iTunes (PC/Mac) can be relayed into the living room via AirPlay. In addition, the RX-S600D features a DAB+ tuner for digital radio. The free YAMAHA AV controller app for Apple iOS and Android smartphones or tablet-PCs guarantees easy control.

Hi-fi in perfection: Ensemble of integrated amplifier and SA-CD-player/USB-DAC

The ultimate musical enjoyment, born out of passion. YAMAHA’s S3000 series combines audiophile technology and the finest craftsmanship in a unique way.
