MusicCast Surround builds on the Yamaha MusicCast wireless multi-room audio system. This enables music enthusiasts to stream from almost any audio source over a Wi-Fi network to MusicCast-enabled products.
The RX-S602 has complete compatibility with the latest HDMI standards and delivers transmission of 4K video at 60 frames per second pass-through. It supports HDR video, including Dolby Vision and Hybrid Log-Gamma.
The RX-S602 is loaded with wireless technologies, including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Apple AirPlay and Spotify Connect. It supports many streaming services through the MusicCast app. It is also equipped with Zone 2 audio, which sends audio to a speaker pair in another room from a source independent of the source playing in the main listening room.
The Yamaha RX-S602 will be available in August for $649.95. To learn more about the new device, visit Yamaha.
