Get ready for beautiful images and dynamic sound with ultra-easy control. The neoHD Media Controllers are completely different than ordinary AV receivers. Instead of more functions, more buttons and more complicated operation, their basic concept is simplicity. You can connect all the equipment that you use to enjoy audio and video, and operate them all with one simple remote control. No more bother with multiple remotes. The on-screen display has an icon-based interface that's extremely easy to use, and the sound system is also simplified--you'll enjoy realistic surround sound even from just two speakers, all powered by Yamaha's exclusive sound technologies like AIR SURROUND and CINEMA DSP. It's a whole new idea in home entertainment. Simple, Activity-Based Operation for All Your Home Entertainment Watch, Listen, and Play--Even Across Your Home Wireless Network You have a lot of entertainment sources--Blu-ray, DVD, TV, stereo, gaming. How can one controller give you one-finger access to all your content? Yamaha's simplified remote keeps things uncomplicated and family friendly. Enlarge The YMC-700's activity-based operation means you simply select what you want to do--Watch, Listen, or Play--and the neoHD does everything for you. Select your source, and the neoHD will power on all your devices in the correct order, switch your inputs, and select custom audio settings. Want to watch a movie? Simply select "Watch" on the neoHD's high-resolution menu, then select the desired source, then initiate playback using the remote control or the on-screen virtual remote control. Thanks to the Automatic Operation Flow function, the neoHD handles everything automatically: 1) the selected device is powered on, 2) the neoHD input changes to that device, 3) the DSP mode changes accordingly. A clean and simple GUI. View larger The YMC-700 is also a certified DLNA client, so it integrates seamlessly with your home network to bring digital content from your PC to your home entertainment center. The YMC-700 links to a computer via Wi-Fi or Ethernet. Using Windows Media Player 11, the user can stream PC music content (MP3, WMA, WAV and MPEG-4 AAC), listen to Internet radio (MP3, WMA), and access the Rhapsody digital music service. A TwonkyMedia server PC software license key is included to support Mac computers and MPEG-4 AAC format. The neoHD Media Controller receiver acts as an IR remote junction, replacing all your existing remotes. The beautiful full-color GUI gives you immediate access to everything connected to your home theater in a simplified, intuitive menu. The neoHD might be small, but you can connect plenty of your devices to it, such as Blu-ray and DVD players, cable and satellite set top boxes, video game systems, USB storage devices, and even your iPod (using the optional YDS-11 iPod dock), in additon to your HDMI HDTV. Simple, Minimal Remote Design Operation is refreshingly simple...even the basic design of the remote control is reassuring. All you need to do is touch a few buttons and adjust the volume. No complicated choices or adjustments are necessary. And you'll really like the clear and simple GUI (graphical user interface). You simply select Watch, Listen or Play using the cursor on the remote control, then choose your desired source. All the other menus, such as song lists, are also easy to view and understand. Only the most commonly used buttons are present on the handheld remote, while all other remote buttons are located on the on-screen virtual remote. To allow you full control over your sources (like your cable box or Blu-ray player) the neoHD has a full featured virtual remote control on the TV screen where you can find the rest of the buttons you need, including the 10-key number buttons for choosing a specific channel. To access the virtual remote, simply press the Control button while watching your program to bring up an overlay menu.

Most helpful customer reviews 9 of 9 people found the following review helpful. Great little package By Y. Brown This unit was very easy to install although finding the IR receivers on the other components was challenging. I wish the remote had numbers on it. I understand making it simple but it makes for slow channel access. I found myself having to keep the digital cable box remote for speed and convenience. I love the internet radio access and the ipod dock is a definite add-on we were glad we purchased. The unit is small and well laid out. This is a good looking piece. Unfortunately we have the tv in a corner and the surround sound is okay but not great. I think if this was set out properly it would work quite well. I do recommend this to anyone looking for a universal remote and good quality amplifier. 8 of 8 people found the following review helpful. Fits certain needs By J. Platner Pros: +Small Form Factor +Great sound +Easy setup +Wireless access Cons: -User Interface -Limited remote with poor sensitivity -Limited front panel controls I chose this unit kinda knowing what I was getting into. Other reviews online are accurate and fair and all comparative receivers are much larger and more costly. It had a nice small form factor that included HDMI input processing. It also has great sound and relatively easy setup (about an hour out of the box). The sound is great and I only use the 2.1 (2 front speakers and a powered sub-woofer). The calibration mic works great for balancing your specific speakers orientation to the best performance. The wireless access is nice for firmware updates although I am unsure what exactly the last 3 updates did! Unfortunately the user interface is very basic and the remote is rather useless. You select your viewing input (TV, DVD, Console) on a simple graphic UI. The intended design of the system was supposed to eliminate all your other remotes. However with modern cable, satellite and DVR systems you will absolutely still need all those remotes to maintain your sanity. The only thing I use the Yamaha remote for is input selection and volume. Moreover, the only front panel controls are the on/off button and the large volume. It would have been very helpful to include front panel input selection (thus practically eliminating the cheesy remote). If you are looking for a simple, small, HDMI capable receiver this may be for you. If you need more control and probably less remotes, look elsewhere. 8 of 9 people found the following review helpful. This product is only okay. By mmmmmmm I was able to quickly set up the YMC-700 receiver with the other new equipment that I purchased at the same time: blu-ray dvd player, samsung hd-tv. I have been able to get most functions to work: Internet Radio, Pandora Radio, etc. To access Pandora and the Internet, this has worked quite well. There have been very few problems here - there have been occasional internet connections dropped. I use Netgear Powerline connectors throughout the house to provide ethernet connections throughout the house - the samsung tv and yamaha receiver are both connected to the internet this way. The Netgear Powerline connectors work great. The problem I have is connecting to my netowrk to access my music library. I have done as yamaha stated - ensure the pc has microsoft media player 11 installed. I have had problems with this connection when the pc's on my network were microsoft xp as well as now with new pc's using microsoft 7. I can get the network connected at times by changing the yamaha's network settings, but this only last as long as everything is powered up. Once I power down and power up, the connection drops. Remember, the internet connection still works fine in these situations - it's only the connection to my network that is the problem. I have sent a message to yamaha for support and received unsatisfatory support. I am attempting again to get specific support from yamaha. I'll update this review when I have more
