Features
*INDICATES FEATURE NOT ON LOWER PRICED MODEL
POWERFUL AND VERSATILE RECEIVER*
The RX-777 receiver is dedicated to those who want the finest in stereo reproduction. It features Yamaha's ToP-ART design, provides 100 watts per channel, supports a second zone, and has I/O ports for custom installation applications.
PURE DIRECT AND CD DIRECT CIRCUITS*
To maintain signal purity, the RX-777 provides paths for CD players and other sources that bypass the tone controls and other pre-amp circuits.
ToP-ART DESIGN
Yamaha's ToP-ART technology is not a single development or feature, but a series of advances - such as high quality components and symmetrical circuit layout - that when added together deliver a significant sonic improvement.
ToP-ART BASE
The anti-vibration and anti-resonance base contributes to the RX-777's superior performance.
FOUR AUDIO INPUTS AND TWO AUDIO OUTPUTS
The new RX-777 can accept four audio components in addition to its built-in tuner. All RCA jacks are gold plated for the finest electrical connection.
THREE A/V INPUTS AND ONE VIDEO OUTPUT*
This two-channel receiver can handle the latest home entertainment devices. All RCA jacks are gold plated for the finest electrical connection.
BROAD POWER BANDWIDTH*
With a power bandwidth out to 100 kHz, the RX-777 is compatible with high performance audio sources.
NEW SYSTEM REMOTE CONTROL
The remote control keypad has a power on/off key, can switch between two pairs of speakers, and can operate other Yamaha components.
LINEAR DAMPING FACTOR CIRCUIT
The advantage of full range, 20 to 20,000 Hz, damping is that it improves the definition and resolution of the sound output throughout the audible frequency range.
A/B SPEAKER SELECTOR
Allows selection of either a first set of speakers main speaker or a second -- or both.
SLEEP TIMER
Permits a delayed receiver turn off. You can set it for up to two hours in 30 minute increments.
40-STATION DIRECT ACCESS PRESET TUNING
Up to 40 preset AM and FM stations can be grouped in five groups eight stations. These groupings make it easy for family members to easily access their favorite stations or to have musical genres, such as all the jazz stations, grouped together.
RECORD OUT SELECTOR
Permits listening to one source while recording another.
BINDING POST SPEAKER TERMINALS
Yamaha's heavy-duty binding post speaker terminals accept banana plugs, spade connectors, and a variety of speaker wire, including heavy gauge cable.
Technology
CD / DVD Direct Amplification Circuit

Engaged by a front panel switch, it matches CD / DVD signal levels so each stage produces less noise, resulting in improved S/N ratio and maintenance of the amps total gain balance.
