It seems that Yamaha keeps on showing us that they are the leading company when it comes to      making audio products. Here is a whole new Yamaha HTR series! As you can see, the basic, classic AV receiver design stayed almost the same, but internally it's a whole new world, and this world is in HD!
In the following article we would like to explore and compare the differences between the old and the new and show you how you could take advantage of it. The 4 new models are:

• * HTR-6230

The new Yamaha HTR-6230 is a whole new and improved version of the HTR-6130. It is a 500W 5.1 channel receiver, loaded with HD capabilities. 3 HDMI ports are included (2 ins/1 out). Some additions to the HTR-6230 main features are subwoofer phase selection, initial and maximum volume settings, speaker A or B selection option and a fancy 40 stations preset tuning.
